The statue of Fenerbahçe and National Women’s Volleyball Team Captain Eda Erdem Dündar was unveiled.
Speaking at the ceremony, Erdem said, “We were a large family living in the family apartment in Bayrampaşa with my mother, father and 6 siblings. In the 2000s, we would gather with my uncles and cousins to watch Fenerbahçe matches. Our biggest passion as a family is Fenerbahçe. I have such a bond with that childhood self that I said in an interview. ‘Which team are you a fan of?’ I write Fenerbahçe to the question and write it to death in parentheses next to it. When it is published, I also anger the managers of Beşiktaş Gymnastics Club, who welcomed me with open arms, helped me start volleyball, and of which I am the captain. Dear Fenerbahçe fans, whenever something upsets me, all I have to do is look at the stands when I go on the field. Our good and bad days. “It happened, but I always gave everything I had on the field. One day, my professional life will end and I will say goodbye to my jersey number 14. The song “What captains came” will come to my mind. I will remember these days and be filled with hope. I’m glad I’m a Fenerbahçe player.” he said.
Turkish Volleyball Federation President Mehmet Akif Üstündağ, who attended the ceremony and made a statement, said, “I would like to express that I am happy and proud to be with you at the opening of this beautiful statue of Eda, who is a captain like a captain, a man like a man and the pride of Turkey.” said.
