High Council Chairman Şekip Mosturoğlu, who delivered the opening speech of the meeting which began with a moment of silence and the National Anthem, drew attention to the importance of unity and solidarity within the community. Stating that Fenerbahçe has achieved its most important victories during times when it was united, Mosturoğlu said, “The spirit of being a Fenerbahçe fan is etched into our souls. This is what makes us different from other clubs. In these days when an environment of unity, solidarity, and friendship has been restored, we must be careful against those who try to disrupt this environment with baseless and unnecessary agenda items.”

"WE ALL LOVE FENERBAHÇE"

Underlining that the common denominator of Fenerbahçe fans is to serve the club, Mosturoğlu stated, “We all love Fenerbahçe, we must never forget this. The only subject we should compete with each other on is contributing to Fenerbahçe.”

"WE MUST MAINTAIN UNITY AND SOLIDARITY"

Emphasizing that the team is walking with firm steps toward the championship goal that it has long yearned for, Mosturoğlu expressed that they are always open to the constructive criticism of the community. “Today, what we need most is to maintain this unity and solidarity. When we look at the history of Fenerbahçe, we see that great successes have always come during times of unity. Now, standing behind our teams will make the championship even closer,” he said.

"WE BELIEVE IN HIS INNOCENCE"

Captain Mert Hakan Yandaş, who is detained in Silivri as part of a betting investigation, was also on the agenda of the Fenerbahçe community. In the later minutes of the meeting, Mosturoğlu expressed their support for Yandaş with the following words:

“I send my greetings and love to our captain Mert Hakan Yandaş, who is detained in Silivri. He is never alone. We believe in his innocence. Hopefully, he will regain his freedom in a very short time and be with us again.”
