Eyüpspor issues sharp response to Erol Bulut's allegations

ikas Eyüpspor Club has denied the allegations made by manager Erol Bulut following the Eyüpspor-Antalyaspor match.

In a statement released on the club's social media account, it was emphasized that the universal values of sports—honesty, transparency, and the spirit of fair play—are the cornerstones of the club's culture and Turkish football, and the following was noted:

"We operate with a philosophy of achieving our team's success solely through the sweat, disciplined work, and strategic analysis displayed on the pitch. All the efforts of our manager Orhan Ak and his staff are focused exclusively on improving our own game, maximizing our team's potential, and conducting opponent analysis using only publicly available data. Regarding the Antalyaspor match in question, there is absolutely no question of obtaining information or documents through any unethical means concerning the opposing team's confidential or internal information. Accepting such an allegation is incompatible with our club's ethical stance."

Noting the importance of avoiding unproven, speculative, and damaging rhetoric, the statement continued, "We remind everyone that we all share the responsibility of protecting the reputation of Turkish football. In this context, we believe it is important to avoid unproven, speculative, and damaging rhetoric. We invite all football stakeholders to focus their energy on the struggle on the pitch, the beauty of football, and the athletes who put in the effort; we respectfully inform the public that we will not remain in the shadow of such allegations and will continue our work with the same determination."
