The Istanbul giants have felt that several of their games in recent years have been decided against them by poor refereeing decisions.
The source added that Fener were hoping to play the game on a date further away from their Europa Conference League match against Olympiacos.
The game only lasted one minute, after which Mauro Icardi scored for Gala and the Fener youngsters walked off and abandoned the game.
