Within the scope of Samsunspor 60th Year Summer Festival, Samsunspor Deputy President Veysel Bilen, Samsunspor Board Members Onur Öztekin, Giray Şen and Volkan Erdil held a press conference. Speaking at the meeting, Veysel Bilen said, “The 60th Anniversary events started last year. This year we will end the celebrations with the summer festival. As Samsunspor, we aimed to touch all layers as the important brand of the city for 1 year. We worked with the board of directors for 1 year. We wanted to touch children and young people in our summer festival event. Since we set out with the motto ‘Children of this City are from Samsunspor’, we wanted to make the final with children. This is what we will start with children. “Years later, they will be the young people who support Samsunspor, maybe in the management, maybe in the stands, or in the stands. That’s why we care about our children very much. As a club, we will continue to carry out projects that touch children as much as possible,” he said.
Other board members also invited all children and families to the summer festival.
