With recent terror attacks in Turkey and an attempted coup, the Liga side have decided not to play at the Turk Telekom Arena ahead of the new season
Atletico Madrid has cancelled its friendly against Galatasaray on Saturday, amid safety concerns in Turkey.
The two teams had been due to face each other at the Turk Telekom Arena in Istanbul, but the Spanish side has pulled the plug on the preseason game and will not travel.
A number of recent terror attacks in the country, along with an attempted coup, have led to security issues, with Atleti reportedly considering their participation in the fixture last week.
