Samsunspor club responded to the comments made by Fenerbahçe Club Vice President Barış Göktürk about Chairman Yüksel Yıldırım. Samsunspor has a 60-year history as a club.

What happened?

Fenerbahçe Club Vice President Barış Göktürk made comments about Samsunspor Club Chairman Yüksel Yıldırım, saying 'He does not represent a community'.

Why is it important?

These comments are not only a disrespect to our chairman Yüksel Yıldırım, but also to Samsunspor, which has a 60-year history, a large fan base, and represents important values in Turkish football.

What comes next?

Approaches that harm the mutual respect and common football culture between clubs will not benefit any community, as stated in the announcement. As Samsunspor Club, we reject these comments made about our Chairman Yüksel Yıldırım and the Great Samsunspor community.
