The Turkish football club Fenerbahce held an extraordinary assembly at the “Ulker” stadium in Istanbul, which was attended by 22,588 members of the club.
At the extraordinary session of the assembly, the Turkish club extended the decision to withdraw from the Super League.
The president of Fenerbahce, Ali Koc, gathered at a meeting last night all the football players with whom the possibility of leaving the league was discussed, which was discussed today at the extraordinary assembly of the Turkish giant.
“Some say we should withdraw. But if we withdraw from the league, whose bus will they shoot at? We will not give in or compromise the principles we believe in for the sake of championships and titles,” said Koc.
He pointed out that withdrawing from the league would be one of the most extreme options.
“In all our conversations, the least preferred option and the last option was exiting the league. Why would our boys play in a lower league? We are taking this option off the table until the next general assembly which is in three months. Here I am addressing Edin Džeka, Dušan Tadić , to Mert Hakan: The General Assembly wants what you want. Play and do what is necessary and bring us the title,” Koc said.
He also touched on the Super Cup final match against Galatasaray, which will be played on April 7 in Sanliurfa.
He said that they want to play the Super Cup final against Galatasaray with a junior team if the Football Association of Turkey allows them to do so, and he called on Fener fans not to book tickets for this match.
Fenerbahce Vice President Erol Bilecik pointed out that this is a day that will surely go down in football history in Turkey and that they have greatly exceeded the required number to achieve the majority, AA writes.
