As Fenerbahçe continues its pursuit of the top spot in the Süper Lig, eyes are also turning toward the congress in June.
While current president Ali Koç has announced he will not be a candidate, the name of Sadettin Saran has begun to be discussed within the community.
Former Fenerbahçe executive Abdullah Kiğılı made statements regarding the presidential election at Fenerbahçe.
According to the report by Necla Dalan from Patronlar Dünyası; Aziz Yıldırım, who is not keen on returning to the Fenerbahçe presidency, will change his mind if Sadettin Saran is the sole candidate.
The following statements were included in Dalan's report:
"While chatting with a business person a few days ago, we also discussed whether Aziz Yıldırım, whom he knows closely, would be a candidate. He did not give a clear answer on this, but he explained that Ali Koç visited Abdullah Kiğılı at his office in Zorlu Center two weeks ago. Fenerbahçe Sports Club General Secretary Burak Kızılhan and Turkish Volleyball Federation President Mehmet Akif Üstündağ were also present during the visit."
ALI KOÇ VISITED KİĞILI AFTER 5 YEARS
As is known, Abdullah Kiğılı is one of Aziz Yıldırım's close friends and was an executive during his presidency.
Naturally, I was curious and called Abdullah Kiğılı. First, I asked about this meeting. Stating that Ali Koç came to his office for the first time after a five-year hiatus, Kiğılı said, "President Ali came 15 days ago. He said, 'Prepare the döner, I'm coming.' He came, stayed for three hours. We ate döner and meatballs, enjoyed ourselves, and chatted."
"IF SARAN IS THE SOLE CANDIDATE, AZİZ YILDIRIM WILL BE A CANDIDATE"
Then I brought up the subject of whether Aziz Yıldırım would be a candidate, and I received the following answer from Kiğılı:
"If Fenerbahçe becomes champion, it is not possible for Ali Koç to leave. If there is no championship, he will leave. If Ali Koç leaves and Sadettin Saran is the sole candidate, President Aziz will be a candidate. It was President Aziz who had Saran expelled from the club back in the day... What will happen then? President Aziz will say 'Come on friends,' and we will take on the duty."
