Resignation and extraordinary congress claims: Tense hours at the TFF following the Super Cup scandal!

The Super Cup final, which was planned to be played in Saudi Arabia between Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe during the Republic's 100th anniversary, was postponed to a later date due to the Atatürk embargo imposed by Saudi authorities.

Saudi Arabia's disrespect toward Atatürk has also become the number one item on the political agenda.

Following the Super Cup scandal, the sports community has called on Turkish Football Federation President Mehmet Büyükekşi to resign.

NO WORD FROM THE TFF

However, the TFF has not yet made a single statement regarding what happened in Saudi Arabia. It remains unclear what was written in the protocol signed with that country, or whether there was any negligence.

According to a report in Cumhuriyet, following the developments over the last 3 weeks—including the punching of a referee, a team withdrawing from the pitch, and the final not being played—it is being discussed in political circles that the TFF administration under the presidency of Mehmet Büyükekşi, which has also drawn the reaction of some clubs, will step down and decide to hold an extraordinary election.
