"Application to UEFA for the Twente match from Beşiktaş"

In Beşiktaş's statement, it was said, "As Beşiktaş JK, we would like to inform the public that we have applied to UEFA for the FC Twente-Beşiktaş UEFA Europa League match to be played in another city or country where the fans of both clubs can be present in a friendly and safe manner."

Beşiktaş's statement is as follows:

"The Mayor of Enschede, Roelof Bleker, who decided that our fans would not be allowed to attend the UEFA Europa League match that our Football A Team will play against FC Twente at FC Twente Stadion on January 30, 2025, stated in the official letter sent to us on December 20, 2024, after the meeting held on December 17, 2024, with the participation of our Vice Presidents Onur Göçmez and Mete Vardar, UEFA, FC Twente, and Enschede Municipality officials, that he did not change his decision and cited the behavior of our fans in previous European matches as the reason for his decision.

Despite the commitment made by our Vice Presidents Göçmez and Vardar during the meeting held on December 17, 2024, that we would take all necessary security measures, fully implement any additional measures that local authorities would take, and comply with the requested ticketing procedures, we consider Bleker's insistence on his arbitrary decision as discrimination.

We do not want to play the UEFA Europa League match against FC Twente in the city of Enschede, where the Mayor Roelof Bleker himself stated that security could not be ensured.

As Beşiktaş JK, we would like to inform the public that we have applied to UEFA for the FC Twente-Beşiktaş UEFA Europa League match to be played in another city or country where the fans of both clubs can be present in a friendly and safe manner."
