The Board of Directors of the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) announced that it will continue its duties until July 18.
In the statement made on the TFF’s website, it was stated that the Super League and 1st League Broadcasting Tender was completed in a way that would bring serious income, and said, “Regulations such as spending limits and foreigner rules have been re-determined in line with the interests of the club. In the current situation, the Turkish Football Federation Board of Directors Three years before the end of the terms of office of the other boards, all preparations for the new season have been fully implemented, without disrupting the current functioning, before the elective general assembly to be held on July 18. Despite this, for the first time in its history, it qualified for the European Football Championship by finishing first in the qualifying group. “We watch with astonishment the insistent efforts of some club managers, who disregard even the possibility of disrupting the pre-tournament preparations of our winning National Team, to hold an elective general assembly just on the dates when the European Football Championship will begin.” It was said.
In the statement, which mentioned that the 2024 European Football Championship will end on July 14, “No matter how different the colors the heart desires are, contrary to an understanding that saw it as a duty to find a common denominator when it came to the crescent-star jersey in the past, it was stated that the personal ambitions and interests of some publicly known names We are witnessing as an example that the decision to hold the elective general assembly on July 18 was taken considering the busy match schedule of the national team. Demanding a TFF congress for the sake of personal interests on these dates when a great nation will be united is nothing more than a waste of time. .” expressions were used.
“As the Turkish Football Federation, our first priority is the crescent-star jersey under all circumstances.” In the statement, the following was noted:
“It is our main responsibility to prevent any effort that will lower the morale of our players and technical staff, at the expense of leaving our national team, which 85 million people will watch with pride, alone in Germany. As the TFF management, we will spend all our work and energy for the success of the National Football Team and some “We will not make the same mistakes as the managers of our clubs. The insistence on holding the elections simultaneously with the European Football Championship, instead of supporting our players from the first whistle in Germany, is, to put it mildly, far from the values of this country. We leave this futile effort, far from our national values, to the discretion of the great Turkish nation.”
“Our aim is to create a fair and competitive election environment in TFF”
In the statement, it was emphasized that presidential candidates should be given time to establish a fair, transparent and democratic election environment, and the following statements were used:
“The efforts of the candidates who will compete under a rushed election environment to represent the interests of Turkish football will be disrupted. Our aim is to create a fair and competitive election environment in the TFF. This attitude of a small number of club managers who try to bring the election process to a fait accompli has caused all our clubs to worry and this approach It was seen as an effort to spread the failures of those who feed on chaos to Turkish football, rather than an effort to improve Turkish football. The only reason why we decided to limit our term of office by election, even in an environment where our term of office continues for 3 more years; This is to provide them with the opportunity to show their will.
We would like to clearly state that the President of the Turkish Football Federation and the Board of Directors have gained the appreciation and favor of the majority of the TFF General Assembly members before the elective general assembly to be held on July 18. We would like to thank the great Turkish football family, who always kept the path of dialogue open during this process, who persistently worked for the elective general assembly to be held on July 18 during the European Championship, who did not sign, and who showed us favor. “The President and the Board of Directors of the Turkish Football Federation, who prioritize the appreciation of the Turkish football family, not the minority who expect justice but privilege, and who decided on an elective congress with 3 years left to complete their term of office, will continue their work without interruption.”
“We think that the target of insistently trying to make the Turkish Football Federation hold a hasty election during the European Football Championship is not TFF President Mehmet Büyükekşi and the Board of Directors. The real minority who insistently wants to make a rush election at a time when all of Turkey will be concentrating on the European Football Championship together with our National Football Team is the real target.” What is its goal and purpose?” The statement continued as follows:
“In the Turkish Football Federation, which is an autonomous institution with 324 delegates who have the right to vote in the elective general assembly, in order to be able to call an extraordinary congress as per the statute, 130 delegates, corresponding to 40 percent of the total number of delegates, must make a call to the TFF with a notarized, official signature. This In this case, the authority to make an extraordinary congress decision lies with the TFF Board of Directors. In case the TFF Board of Directors decides on an extraordinary congress, an extraordinary congress convenes 30 days after the decision. In order to make an election decision at the convened congress, the approval of 163 delegates, which is 163 percent of the number of delegates, is required. If the delegate approves the proposal to hold an elective extraordinary general assembly, then, in accordance with the autonomous TFF status, it may be decided to convene an elective extraordinary general assembly only after 30 days, even if the minority that has not been able to collect enough signatures for the extraordinary congress decision for more than 1 month can collect enough signatures. “60 days must pass for the general assembly.”
It was also stated that the attempts of those who try to harm the environment of dialogue and cooperation in the football community will be fruitless, and added: “There are people who send threatening messages to the TFF President and the members of the Board of Directors, their relatives, TFF General Assembly members, and sponsors of the clubs in order to bring forward the date announced for the congress, and who will harm social peace.” As the TFF Board of Directors, which continues its efforts to win the future, not the day, and lays the foundations of the national team that will be the European champion in the European Football Championship, which we won the right to host in 2032, this minority, which adopts a stance, will never be allowed to attempt to dominate the majority. “We once again respectfully declare to the Turkish football public that we are on duty until 2024.” expressions were used.
