Ataturk Olympic Stadium would host Champions League final on 30th May 2020.
During general meeting of UEFA at Kiev, Ukraine prior to Champions League 2018 final,organisation has announced host cities of final games of its tournament for 2020. Among decisions, UEFA has announced that final game of Champions League 2019-20 season would be taken place in Istanbul on 30th May.
This decisions means that Istanbul would be hosting Champions League final once again after 15 years as it has hosted one of the most memorable finals of tournament between Liverpool and A.C Milan. This is also development as Turkey are among candidates of UEFA Euro 2024 and their show that their have strong trust towards Turkish Football Federation which would taken main role for its performance and are seeing that Istanbul did show good hosting of the tournament during 2005 season. Game meanwhile would be taken place at the renewal Ataturk Olympic Stadium which was having plan for renewal for its UEFA Euro 2024 bid. It is also crucial to note that Istanbul would also host next year Super Cup at Vodafone Arena which means that Istanbul would both start European season of 2019-20 and also end there.
Without doubt this development is very important for Istanbul in overall and also countries football specifically as stars from sport would once again come to this important city in Turkey.
Arbitration committee has reduced Arda Turan from 16 to 10 games.
Arbitation committee which is connected to TFF has announced that 16-game fine which was provided to Basaksehirspor player Arda Turan due of his actions during Super League 32nd week game against Sivasspor has been reduced to 10 games.
Even through it was heavily criticised of his actions during game when he has attacked physically and with words towards referee of the game there were talks that 16-game ban is to high. Our blog as remembered did find this decision reasonably. However, after some time arbitration committee has reduced this ban to 6 games and it does look like Basaksehirspor defence and possibly some connection with government has led for this decision to be revised. Thsi decision would still mean that Arda Turan would be missing 8 games in upcoming season but at least he would be able to play most part of the season when his previous fine would mean almost half of the season. This reduction to some extend could also reduce into effectiveness of his actions and might even show bad example for other players or youth seeing that those actions are tolerated and when are not arbitration would come and reduce such ban.
If here is the case that it was reduced due of his name than this blog seriously doesnt support this decision and lets hope that Arda Turan would learn valuable lesson still from this event.
Besiktas considers to appoint Tamer Tuna as Senol Gunes assistant coach once again.
It is reported at the Turkish sports media, that Besiktas are considering to offer Goztepe ex-coach Tamer Tuna a role of assistant coach for Senol Gunes with stating that when Gunes would be leaving one day, Tuna would take role of head coach.
It needs to be reminded that main reason that Tamer Tuna has left Besiktas in the end of the last season and has joined Goztepe was to try his role as head coach and it needs to be admitted that he has done good role with ending 6th place with his side. Taking account that Bursaspor and Trabzonspor are considering to appoint him at the main role, it would be interesting how Tuna would respond to this from Besiktas as it would mean that he would go behind his career path even through joining club would again help him to improve as coach. However, this blog does see chance to be very unlikely even through there is always chance for this to happen.
Meanwhile, it is also reported that Besiktas would consider to appoint assistant coach for Senol Gunes as it was seen one of the reasons for poor performance during this season even if Tamer Tuna would not consider to return to club.
