Acun Ilıcalı chose a photo of Edin Dzeko as the shot of the year: "It impressed me a lot."

Fenerbahçe Club Vice President Acun Ilıcalı participated in the "Frames of the Year" voting, which features photos capturing significant events of 2024 and life, as seen through the lens of Anadolu Agency (AA), and cast his vote.

Acun Ilıcalı reviewed the photos taken by AA reporters and photojournalists both domestically and internationally throughout 2024, prepared with the contributions of "Roketsan, Turkcell Lifebox, and Sony," in the categories of "News," "Natural Life and Environment," "Sports," "Daily Life," and the special addition for this year, "Free Syria."

In the "Free Syria" category, Ilıcalı voted for Murat Şengül's photo titled "The Power of the People," and in the "Natural Life and Environment" category, he voted for Daniel Ceng's photo titled "Walking Path."

Ilıcalı preferred İsa Terli's photo titled '7 hills, 5 minarets, 1 tower' in the "Daily Life" category, while in the "News" category, he chose Ali Jadallah's photo titled "The Oppressed."

"DZEKO'S PHOTO AFFECTED ME A LOT"

Fenerbahçe Club Vice President Acun Ilıcalı lastly reviewed the photos in the "Sports" category during the voting.

Individually examining the photos, Ilıcalı was torn between Halil Sağırkaya's photo titled "Blockade," which depicts Arda Güler's struggle against 4 opponents in a match against Austria during the European Championship after transferring from Fenerbahçe to Real Madrid, and the shot of Edin Dzeko being held by Noah Sonko-Sundberg during the Net Global Sivasspor match.

Ilıcalı cast his vote for Cemal Yurttaş's photo titled "Don't Go, Stop," which features Edin Dzeko, expressing that he really liked the photo and stated:

"There are beautiful photos, but Dzeko's photo affected me a lot. In the photo, I saw a Fenerbahçe player who seems to be pulled down by someone but stands tall, struggles, and fights. I think this is a very beautiful message for our community; I really liked this photo."
