TFF has published the entire MHK Training Meeting held on March 1, 2024.
The statement made by the TFF and the published video are as follows:
"The meeting dated Friday, March 1, 2024, which is one of the internal evaluation meetings that the Central Referee Committee (MHK) regularly holds online, is a routine training activity. Some parts of this meeting, which was closed to the public and conducted internally, were taken out of context by irresponsible and malicious individuals and published on certain social media platforms, with the intention of manipulating public opinion.
First of all, we would like to state that; in these meetings, the week's prominent and critical referee decisions are evaluated, comments from participants on the decisions are taken, and it is aimed to reach the most appropriate conclusion through the discussion of precedent cases. It is a legal offense to publish this meeting, which was held internally and closed to the public, without authorization. An investigation has been initiated regarding the matter.
As the MHK; in order to eliminate the perception pollution intended to be created by such attempts targeting Turkish football, you can watch the entire online meeting in question on the TFF YouTube channel and via the link below."
