The 1910–11 Istanbul Football League match between Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe at Union Club Field took place on Sunday 12 February, 1911.

Background

Emin Bülent Serdaroğlu could join the Galatasaray team after the match started. Galatasaray SK played with 7 players ten minutes into the game. Fenerbahçe SK started the match with 10 players but finished the game with only 9 due to injuries.
