What happened in Turkish football today? 27/03/2022



Galatasaray members didnt approve Burak Elmas performance.

Following 20 hours Galatasaray general meeting which been dominated by approving CEO Burak Elmas performance, members of the club didnt approve his performance and club would be going through new CEO election which is expected to take place.

Due of performance of the club in the Super League and also way club has ended contract with its head coach Fatih Terim and also performance of Domenec Torrent, among other shortcomings, has dominated into reasons for Burak Elmas administration not being approved by majority of club members. According to guidelines, Galatasaray would need to have an election in the short period of time, with its being called within 30 days and current members of adminstration will not be allowed to run as club CEO in the election.It needs to be mentioned that such decision has been expected as many people were not happy how Elmas has managed club with some administrators members resigning.

Hence, Galatasaray would be entering to new CEO election period which could be expected to be pretty contested.

Metin Ozturk has become 1st CEO candidate at Galatasaray.

Metin Ozturk, who has been running as CEO candidate and ended at 3rd spot in previous election, has once again stated that he would be running for CEO election hence becoming first announced candidate.

Its been known that Metin Ozturk has been focussing to become CEO of the club for long time and when looking financially could provide financial help which side does need as it being in the high amount of the debts as most of the club. Even through he is being first one to announce his candidacy, there is expectation for some other names to be announcing they candidacy which includes Abrurrahim Albayrak, Deniz Ozturk and Enes Hamamcioglu.

Galatasaray general meeting did take place for 20 hours without much break so it would be reasonable for most members have rest on 27th March with more names being announced shortly.

Arbitration Committee has canceled decision for not including 13 referees.

Arbitration Committee has cancelled decision for Central Referee Committee decision to not include 13 referees at the side, which once again rise competency issues of the committee members and TFF.

In fact, during past two days both Fenerbahce and Basaksehirspor has called for people who are involved in this issue to be resigning from their spot believing that they are being incompetent, and without Arbitration Committee proves that. Stating that committee might not going into most drastic decision in they perspective of going for resignation and could run in their position either with going through its own view of not including this referees or stay in post but start including those referees.

Hence, its not clear if they would be resigning or not but it is clear that they lost trust from football community in Turkey.
