A new claim regarding the A National Football Team has reopened the debate over the villa announcement previously made by Turkish Football Federation President İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu. According to information shared by journalist Serdar Ali Çelikler, the national players have reached a joint decision to decline the villa offer that Hacıosmanoğlu brought up in the context of the World Cup goal.
IT HAD BEEN BROUGHT UP AS A WORLD CUP PROMISE
TFF President İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu had previously stated in an announcement that once the luxury villa project he plans to implement in the Milas district of Muğla is completed, he would gift a villa to each player if the A National Football Team achieves its World Cup goal.
While this statement caused a wide stir in the sports community, a striking claim has emerged from the national team front.
THE CLAIM THAT "26 PLAYERS REACHED A JOINT DECISION"
Journalist Serdar Ali Çelikler, speaking on a program he attended, stated that he received information from national team players and alleged that the 26 players in the A National Team squad have reached a consensus to decline the villa offer.
According to the claim relayed by Çelikler, the players' joint decision was conveyed to TFF President İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu by team captain Hakan Çalhanoğlu.
"WE DO NOT WANT ANY VILLAS"
According to the claim voiced on the program, Hakan Çalhanoğlu used the words, "We do not want any villas," during his meeting with Hacıosmanoğlu on behalf of the players.
According to the claim in question, this statement reflected the joint view of all the national team players.
According to the information provided by Serdar Ali Çelikler, despite this approach by Hakan Çalhanoğlu, TFF President İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu did not step back from his promise.
The claim suggests that Hacıosmanoğlu addressed the players, saying, "That won't do; I gave my word and I stand by it. When the construction is finished, I will give these to you."
