Turkish Football Federation (TFF) President İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu spoke at the Turkuvaz Media Sports Summit. The highlights of Hacıosmanoğlu’s statements, stating that they will be at equal distance to every community, are as follows:
“WE WILL STAY EQUAL DISTANCE TO EVERY COMMUNITY”
“Sports is one of the strongest common denominators that brings our nation together. The duty of everyone who meets on this denominator is to compete in a clean, fair environment and to contribute to increasing the brand value of our sports. We promised to be fair and transparent when we took office. We demonstrated a strong will. We adopted a fair, impartial and principled management approach to make sports the center of peace, not chaos. We tried to serve Turkish football by staying at an equal distance to every community. We have not compromised on this understanding and will not compromise.”
“WE WILL MAKE TURKISH FOOTBALL A BRAND COMPETING WITH FAIR-PLAY”
“We are working to make Turkish football a brand that competes with fair-play, not fights. As our President stated, ‘The nation expects brotherhood, justice and quality football from us, not sterile discussions. Let’s fight on the field. Let’s strengthen friendship off the field. Let’s applaud the champions and the relegated ones together.”
“OUR COUNTRY HAS EXPERIENCED A REVOLUTION IN SPORTS, AS IN EVERY FIELD”
“Our country has experienced a revolution in sports in recent years, as in every field. New and modern stadiums have been built. We have stadiums and facilities that do not exist in most countries. These are the guarantee of the Turkey of the future. A center of UEFA has been opened in Istanbul. We have organized the Champions League, Europa League and Super Cup finals. We will organize the finals in the next two years. We will organize the 2032 European Championship jointly with Italy. We are already ready for the finals. This giant tournament is not only a sporting success but also the strongest indicator of our country’s organizational power in a global position. will happen.”
“WE ARE FULLY CONFIDENT THAT WE WILL BUY A WORLD CUP TICKET”
“Our National Team will host Bulgaria in Bursa 4 days later. We will play away against Spain on November 18. Our greatest wish is for our National Team to go directly to the World Cup. Anything can happen at any time in football. That is why we will chase the leadership to the end. We have almost guaranteed the play-offs. I have full faith that we will get a World Cup ticket.”
“GALATASARAY, FENERBAHÇE AND SAMSUNSPOR MADE US HAPPY IN EUROPE”
“Our representatives Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe and Samsunspor made us happy in the UEFA organizations they competed in. I thank them for their contribution to the country’s score and wish them continued success. We want to be represented with more teams in UEFA.”
“WE ARE DETERMINED TO ESTABLISH THE SYSTEM WHERE THOSE DESERVE WIN”
“Football is not just a game, it is an expression of unity and social peace. We will be against anyone who will cast a shadow on this joy and undermine our enthusiasm. We set out with the motto of owning the homeless. We are determined to establish a system where those who deserve it win, without compromising on justice.”
