Cihan Aydın appointed to cup final: Reaction from Trabzonspor over referee choice

Cihan Aydın will officiate the final between Trabzonspor and Galatasaray in the Ziraat Turkish Cup.

Trabzonspor has reacted to this appointment.

The following statements were included in the written statement made from the Bordo-Mavili (Claret-Blue) club's X account:

"With the words of our former President, Mr. Özkan Sümer, we declare once again in a loud voice:

"Football in this country is not played on the pitch"

What has been done to our team from the beginning of the season until today can never be evaluated as isolated errors or human weakness. We are facing a planned and continuous system of asymmetric intervention.

Just two weeks ago, a 'VAR theater' was staged against Kasımpaşa and then against Galatasaray, and our points were usurped with offside setups unprecedented in the history of Turkish football.

As if the Super Lig were not enough, a name has been brought before us for the Turkish Cup final: Cihan Aydın. So, who is this extra?

He is a so-called 'referee' who joined the MHK's VAR meeting with the username 'The greatest is Galatasaray', who boasts of his fan identity, and who does not even feel the need to hide his allegiance!

It appears that the TFF takes on all kinds of colors, but turns its back on the color of justice.

Unfortunately, the institution of justice at the TFF has now rotted, the institution has lost its impartiality, and the moral ground has been abandoned.

The purpose of this appointment is nothing other than to pit Turkey's two biggest clubs against each other on the pitch, in the stands, and on the streets!

We want this to be understood very well!

Whoever violates the rights of our club in the Turkish Cup final, which has no remedy, will destroy their own future and drown in the anger of our community.

Because history is not shaped by those who commit oppression, but by those who resist oppression.

And let it be known that; 'Those who prosper through oppression will have a terrible end.'

Respectfully...

TRABZONSPOR CLUB"
