Turkish police on Monday used tear gas and water cannon to disperse thousands of supporters of top Istanbul side Besiktas who had gathered outside their new stadium to celebrate the first match at the venue, an AFP photographer said.
The opening of the stadium on Sunday by Erdogan - with almost no-one present in the stands - did not go down well with all Besiktas fans, many of whom are fiercely hostile to the Turkish leader.
With Monday's match long sold out, thousands of Besiktas fans clogged roads outside the venue in order to be present in the vicinity when the match took place.
But police trucks then fired water cannon at the fans outside the stadium as armored anti-riot officers fired tear gas, sending fans running for cover, the photographer said.
