What happened in Turkish football today? 02/08/2020


Hatayspor has been promoted for 1st time to Super League.

Our last post which is aiming for reviewing 2019-20 season would be more like preview for next season as we would provide brief, since our account doesnt follow much 1st league, of 3 sides which been promoted and hence would make 21-sides for next season.

This blog would be started with Hatayspor which among being promoted to Super League has also completed season at the top spot and hence became champions of lower league. It needs to be noted that side did been close to be promoted previous season as it has played 1st league play-off round final game but lost to Denizlispor. This season it has aimed to be promoted even more focus and hence provided high level of performance until end of the season. It here needs to be noted that this is being 1st time side being promoted to the Super League, only side among promoted ones, and hence would be aiming to providing good performance as high number of supporters being expected high level performance. 

It did make suprising decision with ending contract with Mustafa Altiparmak who played important with this promotion but still it has aims as side for sure.

Erzurumspor are back to Super League after 1 season. 

Erzurumspor has been promoted after one season to Super League, and it needs to be noted that it did provide good positive football during 2018-19 season but due of lack of having strong players been relegated again.

Despite of or to some extend due of being relegated it has set for past season to be promoted again and did end season at 2nd place with providing strong and confident performance to achieve that showing strong performances. But it needs to be learning from mistakes especially with players so it could make more competitive side into level of Super League for next season. Due of financial issues, which without doubt became even worser due of Covid19, it could have some issues with transfers but it would need to find solutions with externally and internally. There are reports pretty strong that side has started its transfer works with focussing into make good game.

Attitude of side is pretty good with focussing into positive football but it does need some quality players to provide strong performance.

Fatih Karagumruk is been improving for recent years

Fatih Karagumruk didnt complete at Super League after 1983-84 season but more importantly its being side which been improving for recent seasons and for sure did been promoted in well-deserved manner.

It did provide some good performance during previous season at lower league, especially during play-off rounds which without doubt let them to get high level symphathy from Turkish football followers who view lower league. As it tends to be case, it also needs to make some transfer for next season especially when it is reported that big clubs are showing storng interest to their key players which if their would be transferred could lead to negative aspects. Again due of economical issues with clubs it would need to make transfers not much into cash but into quality even if players dont cost much. Fatih Karagumruk still as side which does improve constantly does have potential to make some good marks at Super League next season.

Meanwhile, with promotion of Fatih Karagumruk there would be 6 sides from Istanbul which is highest for last 20 years and do some extend does show dominance of Istanbul in football world as with all sectors in country.
