Galatasaray President Dursun Özbek made a statement at the signing ceremony of the sponsorship agreement.
Galatasaray President Dursun Özbek and Sportif AŞ Deputy Chairman Abdullah Kavukcu made statements at the signing ceremony for the football A Team jersey sponsorship.
Abdullah Kavukcu’s statements were as follows:
“NEW FOOTBALL PLAYERS ARE WRITTEN IN THE MEDIA EVERY DAY”
“We have 12 important matches. We must continue by winning one by one. We also beat Juventus with a very important score. New players are written about in the media every day. You raise the expectations of the fans, which means different things happen to us. The transfer and January period was very difficult, but we had a good period. This shows itself on the field. We have purchasing options. We decide with our president and coach. May God grant us the best for the future.
You talked a lot about the midfield, maybe expectations were created. We don’t pay much attention to the opposing team. My previous president already gave a good answer. We made the transfers we wanted, we have the options. We also won Gabriel Sara. We have 12 matches, please let’s not talk about transfers. You and Galatasaray do not talk about the transfer. Currently, new football players are registered every day. It’s just over.”
Dursun Özbek’s statements were as follows:
“Galatasaray has always been a pioneer. While competing on the field, it adopts a sustainable and strong structure in the club management. This signature we have made is another indicator of building the club on solid foundations. Galatasaray is the club that brought Olympic sports to Türkiye. In addition, it has the feature of being a breeding club with the mission of Ali Sami Yen. Many athletes playing in volleyball and other branches in Türkiye are of Galatasaray origin.”
“WE ALSO HAVE DREAMS FOR TURKISH SPORTS”
“9 years, 8 days ago… Galatasaray Sports Club is a sports club written in golden letters in the history of Turkish sports… Of course, everything starts with dreams. 9 years, 8 days ago, I also had a dream. It is important to reach and pursue dreams. There is also a time factor here. Time is also necessary to realize dreams. I had dreams 9 years, 8 days ago, not only for sports but also for financial structure and establishment.

Today, I am proud to see those dreams come true, one by one. We are gradually reaching the level we dream of. We also have dreams for the next 9 years and 8 days. We also have dreams for Turkish sports. We will continue to fulfill our dreams and mission of 121 years ago.
In the next 9 years and 8 days, Galatasaray will be in a completely different place. I call out to all Galatasaray fans; “Let’s be together, let’s be together and take Galatasaray to higher levels.”
“WE WILL CONTINUE WITH THE SAME SERIOUSNESS IN THE LEAGUE, CUP AND EUROPE”
“You may get results you do not want at the beginning of the season. However, if your goal is clear, you will not give up after one match. Today, the team continues to be successful. Every match is very important. We will continue with the same seriousness in the league, cup and Europe. Nothing ends with one match. We are on a difficult path, we have to maintain the same attitude as before without losing concentration. Nothing is over. We will continue to walk seriously towards the goal. These are my messages to my technical staff, players and the community.”
“I WILL BE A CANDIDATE”
“It is too early to talk about the election. I will be a candidate. We are talking with our friends, hopefully we will announce our list when the term comes.”
“MESSAGES CAME FROM EVERYWHERE IN Türkiye”
“It is unknown whether we will have the Play-Off match with Juventus again or not. It is a great situation in terms of the time period. Of course, Galatasaray will experience such victories again in Europe. We were all happy together and there have been such happiness in history. What I want to express is the happiness in that period of time. We received hundreds of messages from people who are not Galatasaray fans. We made the Turkish people happy. This is a national issue. Turkish people were also happy. Messages came from all over Türkiye. We made those people happy, too. “They were very happy with our game.”
