Antalyaspor made a statement about the referee appointment for the Gaziantep FK match in the 9th week of the Super League.
In the written statement made by the club, it was stated that, as a club, they believe that Turkish football should rise on the foundations of justice, labor and respect.
The following statements were used in the statement, which pointed out that the referee appointments made by the Turkish Football Federation are a subject that the public follows carefully this week, as every week:
“In the last 8 weeks of the league, inexperienced referees were appointed to our team 4 times, and a referee at the beginning of his career served in the Çaykur Rizespor match we played before the international break. While the impact of the controversial decisions in the matches in which inexperienced referees took part in the past weeks are still on the agenda, the re-appointment of a similar appointment has naturally brought with it some question marks in our community and the football public. However, we, as the Antalyaspor community, “We continue to maintain our belief in the justice of the game and the labor on the field under all circumstances.”

In the statement, it was stated that they support the development of young referees for the sake of the future of Turkish football, and the following was noted:
“While we declare to the public that we will carefully monitor the referee team that will take part in this week’s match, we would also like to state that we have confidence in our referee friend and his team, and that we believe that they will conduct a fair, brave and in line with the spirit of the game. We invite the appointing officials to be more careful and attentive in the appointment of inexperienced referees, especially to matches that are of critical importance for our club.
We will fight with all our strength on the field and continue to work to make football the winner. We hope that the match we will play on Sunday will be in accordance with the spirit of fair play and a match won by those who deserve it.”
