Today, Edirne DSI Women’s Basketball Team has an important match.
Our goal at the beginning of the season is the Turkish Women’s Basketball League, and DSI’s girls will play a match they need to win.
If they win today’s match, they will go back to Ankara and play one last match. If they win, they will go to the final four and fight to go to TKBL. Their path is difficult, competitors continue their way with powerful and wealthy sponsors. However, our team continues on its way with confident steps with a very small budget.
Although Edirne DSİ competes in many branches, it is the only team representing Edirne in the Regional Leagues in women’s basketball. Most of the players in their squad are girls who have trained themselves from the infrastructure and have been playing for Edirne DSİ for years. Those who come to the team from outside Edirne are young and ambitious players with very low costs. The team is led by team captains Banu Toker and Kader Çavdar, who have been in basketball for many years.
With the experience they gained in the Regional League, especially Alptuğ Akkaş, the DSI technical team managed to get this far from the group very easily, despite having very limited opportunities this year.
Considering the tens of millions of lira allocated to football, it continues to upset those who love indoor sports when we see that basketball is treated like a stepchild after volleyball.
Even if one tenth of the budget allocated to football was allocated, a great momentum could be gained in indoor sports in Edirne.
The biggest problem with basketball in Edirne is that it has no sponsors. Many people have very different expectations after the local elections. After the elections, we will see how many of these expectations are met and whether the promises are kept.
Today is basketball day. This evening at 20.30 at Mimar Sinan, a breathtaking and very competitive and exciting 40-minute match awaits the basketball fans of Edirne. Entrance to the match is free.
This evening we are with Edirne DSI at Mimar Sinan.
