Foreign Relations Executive Board Member Ahmet Köse announced his resignation with a statement:

TO THE PUBLIC

In recent days, it has been clearly visible to the entire sports community that the Turkish Football Federation Presidency and its relevant boards have moved away from the principles of impartiality, transparency, and accountability, compromising justice in the name of creating balance, and displaying a hostile attitude that disregards success, effort, and labor.

Unfortunately, the Turkish Football Federation is being managed with a primitive perspective rather than being governed. The concepts of loyalty and merit have been confused. Because our Federation's rhetoric and actions have become diametrically opposed, I am resigning from my position as a member of the Foreign Relations Executive Board due to the responsibility I feel. 05/12/2024

Sincerely,

Ahmet Kose

Foreign Relations Executive Board Member
