Two explosions near the Besiktas stadium in Istanbul have killed at least 38 people and wounded more than 160 others, according to Turkish authorities.
A car bomb was detonated outside the Vodafone Arena two hours after the club's match against Bursaspor on Saturday, with away supporters avoiding it by five minutes.
The second explosion, at a nearby park, was reportedly carried out by a suicide bomber.
A Bursaspor statement read: "There was an explosion near the exit of the visitors' stands. We learned that about five minutes after the incident, our supporters had left that area."
Besiktas, meanwhile, posted on Twitter to declare: "Terrorism will never destroy the spirit, courage and resilience of our people."
No group has claimed responsibility behind the attacks.
