Acun Ilıcalı's statement on advertising boards: Those who want to create a perception

Acun Ilıcalı, who has been the target of criticism for allegedly displaying advertisements for illegal betting sites on the pitch-side boards during matches broadcast on his channel, responded to similar comments made about him following the Montenegro-Turkey match via his social media account.

Using the phrase "Let us say it once more for those who want to create a perception," Ilıcalı made the following statement:

"Let us say it once more for those who insist on not understanding, those who do not want to understand, or those who want to create a perception. The sale of advertising boards for matches played abroad belongs to the host country's federation.

Just as the sale of advertising boards for national matches played in Turkey belongs to the Turkish Football Federation, the Montenegro Football Federation handled the sale of the pitch-side advertising boards for the Montenegro-Turkey match.

TV8 has no connection or involvement with any part of this incident."

Israrla anlamayanlar, anlamak istemeyenler ya da algı yaratmak isteyenler için bir kez daha söyleyelim. Yurt dışında oynanan maçların reklam panolarının satışı, ev sahibi ülkenin federasyonuna aittir. Nasıl Türkiye’de oynanan milli maçların reklam panolarının satışı Türkiye…
