ALİ KOÇ SURPRISE AT KIRKPINAR
While many famous names were following the great excitement on site, former Fenerbahçe president Ali Koç was also present at the 665th Historical Kırkpınar Oil Wrestling Festival at Sarayiçi Wrestling Grounds.
"WE MUST TAKE IT HIGHER"
Stating that he was attending Kırkpınar for the first time, Ali Koç said, "This is my first time here. I had promised. Today was the day. Our president is hosting us wonderfully. We came to watch a tradition here. It is one of the oldest sports in the world, perhaps the oldest, and a very important opportunity for country promotion. It is a sport watched by millions. I think it might get ratings as high as football matches. We must all come together shoulder to shoulder to take our tradition to higher levels."
