The cancellation of the match, which was scheduled to start at 8 p.m. (1800 GMT), came a day after a suicide bomber killed himself and four other people, and wounded dozens more, in an attack on Istanbul’s most popular shopping district.
A new date would be announced in the coming days, the Turkish Football Federation said in a statement on its website.
