The sides will meet at Papara Park on 1 October, marking the first time the Louth club have played in Turkey.

Drogheda are one of Trabzonspor's three sister clubs along with Turkish clubs Sanlıurfaspor and Siirt Provincial Special Administration Sport. Drogheda had links with Turkey as a result of the Sultan at the time sending aid over to the Irish people.

Kevin Doherty's side will use the trip as a late-season training camp "There's been a long history of co-operation between the two countries, from the Turkish side to Ireland." Taking place during the three-week international break, the trip will serve as a late-season mini-camp for Drogheda. Trabzonspor’s Super Lig campaign will also resume the following week after a break, with Salah and Co facing a trip to Samsunspor.
