Semifinal ties take shape after knockout wins

The draw has paired Genclerbirligi, competing under the name Natura Dunyasi Genclerbirligi, against Trabzonspor, while Besiktas will face TUMOSAN Konyaspor.

These matchups were shaped by a series of quarterfinal victories. Konyaspor moved through after edging past Fenerbahce in extra time, while Genclerbirligi progressed by overcoming Galatasaray. Trabzonspor advanced via a penalty shootout win against Samsunspor, and Besiktas secured their place with a clear victory over Alanyaspor.

Scheduling shaped by European final in Istanbul

The timing of the semifinals has been adjusted due to the UEFA Europa League final, which will take place at Tupras Stadyumu on May 20. As a result, the Besiktas–Konyaspor match is set to be played earlier, on one of the dates between May 5 and May 7.

Meanwhile, the Genclerbirligi-Trabzonspor fixture is scheduled slightly later, with matches expected to be held between May 12 and May 14.

Both semifinal ties will be played as single matches, meaning there is no home-and-away format. The winners will move straight into the final, which is scheduled for May 24.
