He attended the Trabzonspor match wearing an Amedspor jersey: A message from the Saral family

An unexpected scene during the match between Trabzonspor and Kocaelispor has become a trending topic on social media. Eşref Saral, a Trabzon native who previously served as a district chairman for the MHP, was seen in the stands wearing an Amedspor jersey. After the match, Saral entered the pitch and reacted harshly to the intervention of a security guard. The moments when he pushed the guard were captured on camera and became the focus of public backlash.

Saral faced a barrage of criticism on social media for entering the pitch without authorization and for his conduct toward the security guard. Following the incident, the Saral family released a written statement in response to the growing public debate.

STATEMENT FROM THE SARAL FAMILY

In their statement, the Saral-Sarıalioğlu family emphasized that their roots go back centuries and highlighted their commitment to the Republic and their stance in support of the oppressed. The statement included the following remarks:

“Our family is an ancient structure known for its culture of justice, solidarity, and standing up for rights. However, due to the size of our family and the absence of a feudal structure, it is not possible to control the behavior of every individual. Individual statements and actions do not represent this entire great tradition.”

The family gave the following message regarding the incident:

“While we absolutely do not approve of the footage that has come to light, we do not find it right for it to be attributed to an entire family. Our commitment to the Republic and its values is a legacy inherited from our roots and cannot be shaken by individual outbursts. From now on, we will continue to stand by the Republic, social solidarity, and labor as we always have.”
