It has been suggested to hold frequent meetings, and we agree with this. There are some legal demands. We will evaluate them too. We are all together.

This Our priority is for the mechanism to function properly. If there is a problem, we will solve it together. If there is a success or failure, we will undertake it together. We need to prepare together for our National Team to be successful. We need to start today to create a national team that aims to win the championship in the 2032 European Football Championship. “We need to start working. The country’s score is very important and we need to aim for higher ranks. We need to achieve a suitable and positive football climate together.” He commented:

Emphasizing that they can solve the problems of Turkish football by working shoulder to shoulder, Ali Koç said, “We have thoroughly evaluated the events of the last weeks, the basic problems of football, the refereeing community and the economy. We have a lot of work to do. It would not be an exaggeration to say that we can solve the problems hand in hand if there is desire and will.” “The meetings will continue. Hopefully, we can soon bring Turkish football to a point where these problems will not be discussed again.” he said.
