In the 3rd League, Group 4, Altay, which is at the relegation zone with 1 point, was unable to register 39-year-old footballer Deniz Kadah. According to information obtained from the club, there is a reported software integration issue between the Turkish Football Federation and FIFA. It was stated that the contract renewal appeared as a new transfer in the system. It was noted that the black-and-white team has contacted FIFA to resolve the issue.
After extending his contract until May 20, 2027, the 39-year-old striker decided to retire from football but was later convinced by President Sinan Kanlı to return to training this month. However, his visa was not approved. Altay, which has a transfer ban, attempted to complete the visa process after the transfer period ended but was unsuccessful.
SOFTWARE ISSUE OCCURRED
According to information obtained from the club, it was reported that there is a software integration problem between the Turkish Football Federation and FIFA. It was stated that renewing the contract appears as a new transfer in the system. It was noted that the black-and-white team contacted FIFA to resolve the issue. If the problem is not resolved, Deniz Kadah's license will be issued during the mid-season transfer period. The experienced striker, who is trying to make up for his training deficit due to not participating in the camp, will be able to play in the second half under these circumstances.
BORNOVA MATCH IN MANISA
Altay will face İzmir representative Bornova 1877 in the league on Saturday, and this match will be played in Manisa. Due to the maintenance of Bornova Aziz Kocaoğlu Stadium, the Bornova team will host the black-and-white team at Manisa 19 Mayıs Stadium. Alsancak Stadium, where Altay plays its matches, is also undergoing maintenance, while another stadium in İzmir, Atatürk Stadium, will host Karşıyaka, which will welcome Eskişehir Anadoluspor on the same day.
