Saudi Arabia has shown disrespectful actions to Turkey prior to Super Cup.
Saudi Arabic organisors of Turkish Super Cup game at Riyadh has provided disrespectful actions towards Turkish nation with announcing that pancards of Ataturk and T-shirts which would be displayed and wore by team will not be acceptable.
What makes this action of events more surprising is that an offer to host Super Cup in Saudi Arabic did come from their side and despite of that this has happened which does raise question without doubt and this brings into mind an issue of how Saudi Arabia has allowed to host tournament which is connected to Turkish Football Federation. It needs to be stated that regardless where this game would been played, this being a game into custody of Turkish Football Federation and hence should be played into conditions and wishes of Turkey. One of the other questions has been that both if Turkish Football Federation has signed into agreements with had clauses of not displaying any signs of Ataturk and Turkey, than situation is even much worser and should lead for TFF to make actions which includes resignation.
TFF did make a statement stating that due of some glitches between sides date of Turkish Super Cup into upcoming dates which without doubt has been very light and indirect statement.
It is unclear how TFF and Saudi Arabic made deal with such conditions.
As been noted on previous section, there are some serious questions about if such unacceptable demands has been given from Saudi Arabic organisers especially why this game has been allowed to be taken place at first place.
As it is known, there has been lots of criticism and discussion for Super Cup to be played at first place in Saudi Arabia as Turkish Republic has been celebrating its 100th anniversary and oldest rivals at the Turkish football. Questions which has been arised if Saudi Arabic side has included or stated for Turkish Football Federation for any signs of Turkey and Ataturk symbols not to be used and if that has been case why it has been allowed by TFF. In other words, we are seeing serious contractions from Saudi Arabic as it did both offered to organise such tournament and afterwards has cancelled themselves. With this in mind, TFF CEO Mehmet Buyukeksi did state that Azerbaijan has offered for tournament to be hosted but due of finances resons has been declined. With cultural, historical and root connection between both sides, it is clear that Azerbaijan has provided much better organisation with accepting and most importantly respecting factors of Turkish culture.
Saudi Arabia and TFF has shot on their own foot with such disrespectul actions and everyone who is responsible of this should be paying all prices.
Mehmet Buyukeksi should resign immideately.
TFF CEO Mehmet Buyukeksi and his administration team needs to be resigning immediately due of accepting such organisation given by Saudi Arabic and keep on pushing it even if some parts didnt want for game to be played.
TFF administration has made statements when an issue for changing location and protesting rising that, it has forcefully pushing statements that it would be playing game in Saudi Arabic keep on discussing about financial issues. If TFF CEO Mehmet Buyukeksi and everyone has accepted such issues which been mentioned by Saudi Arabia and ignoring national interests of the country because of finances of any issues. In whatever circumstances, TFF needs to be resigning without any excuses, reasons, blaming game and take all responsibility with acting like muppet doll of Saudi Arabia and putting interests, culture, history and national traditions on the side.
Mehmet Buyukeksi reign, especially after being elected, is being full of scandals, lack of showing disrespect to clubs at Super League, affecting into rise of tension between clubs and also referees and now such totally unacceptable event taking place. There is only thing left to do for him and that is to resign.
