The draw for the Ziraat Turkish Cup group competitions was held at TFF Hasan Doğan National Teams Camp and Training Facilities. Beşiktaş, which is in Group C, will play a derby match against Fenerbahçe in the first week match.
Making a statement to the press after the draw, Beşiktaş Club General Secretary Uğur Fora stated that they were a team aspiring for the cup and said, “You had to beat whoever you faced. Therefore, it was a good fixture. I hope it will end well.”
“THE IMPORTANT THING IS TO BALANCE THE POWER DISTRIBUTION”
Expressing his views on the new format of the cup, Fora said, “It may be good in terms of increasing ratings and excitement. We will try it, we will see. I do not have a clear opinion, but I think it will be good. The important thing here is to balance the power distribution and ensure that the cup runs as competitively and in a way that can provide ratings as possible from the beginning to the end. It is important for the teams that this is not a chore, but actually turns into a show that includes excitement and the audience. Therefore, I think it is beneficial to try this.”
