Unprecedented security measures are being put in place for tonight's European Champions League match in Turkey between Galatasaray and the Italian team, Juventus.
More than twenty-thousand police will be on duty because of concern about Turkish anger over Italy's refusal to hand over the Kurdish separatist leader, Abdullah Ocalan.
The police will form a cordon around the Istanbul stadium and search spectators for anything that could be used as a weapon.
The match -- originally due to be played last week -- was postponed by the European soccer authorities because of security worries.
