First resignation from Adana Demirspor following the controversial Galatasaray match

Adana Demirspor President Bedirhan Durak, who drew attention when his team withdrew from the pitch during the Galatasaray match in the 23rd week of the Süper Lig, has announced his resignation from his post.

In his statement, Bedirhan Durak said: "My dear Adana Demirspor fans, I have worked day and night to carry out the presidency duties I took over in October with due diligence, sacrificing my own money, time, and health. I have always ignored the exhausting and demoralizing messages on social media, alongside the support, for the sake of my club's interests. At the point we have reached, I see with sadness that the vortex we have entered has become inescapable. For the sake of better tomorrows, primarily for my club, my family, my loved ones, and my health, I inform all our fans that I am stepping down from the presidency I was entrusted with. Respectfully."
