As the question of who will officiate the Beşiktaş-Galatasaray derby to be played in the 29th week of the Süper Lig remains a subject of curiosity, the Turkish Football Federation's (TFF) referee preference has begun to become clear. As a result of the evaluations made, it was claimed that the possibility of appointing a foreign referee for the massive match is quite low.
THREE NAMES STAND OUT
According to the report by Sabah Gazetesi, it is becoming certain that the referee who will blow the whistle in the match to be played on Saturday, March 29, will be Turkish. Among the candidates, the names of three referees stand out. These names are as follows:
Halil Umut Meler
Atilla Karaoğlan
Ali Şansalan
It is considered certain that one of these three referees will officiate the Beşiktaş-Galatasaray match.
WHAT DOES BEŞİKTAŞ SAY?
On the other hand, it is stated that there has been no response yet from the TFF to Beşiktaş's previous request for a foreign referee to be appointed to the Galatasaray match. How the black-and-white club will react if the appointment of a Turkish referee is made official is already a subject of curiosity.
