It is claimed that one of the first tasks of Fenerbahçe President Aziz Yıldırım after receiving his certificate of election will be to meet with the TFF. It is stated that the most important agenda item in the meeting will be the 10+4 foreign player rule.
Aziz Yildirim, who has taken the presidential seat again following the extraordinary elective general assembly at Fenerbahce, is preparing to officially assume his duties.
While all eyes at the yellow-navy club are on the credential ceremony expected to be held tomorrow, one of Yildirim's first moves will be to meet with the Turkish Football Federation.
THE 10+4 RULE IS ON THE AGENDA
According to a report by Hurriyet, Aziz Yildirim plans to hold a meeting with the federation regarding the 10+4 foreign player rule that will be implemented in the new season. It is claimed that the Fenerbahce administration will request a reassessment of the foreign player rule due to the current squad structure and transfer planning.
THERE ARE 20 FOREIGN FOOTBALL PLAYERS
It is stated that the number of contracted foreign football players in the yellow-navy team, including players returning from loans, has reached 20. If new transfers are also made, this number is expected to increase further. Therefore, it is indicated that the administration will convey to the federation the effects the new foreign player rule will have on clubs.
HE HAD SIGNALED IT BEFORE THE ELECTION
During a program he attended in the election process, Aziz Yildirim made notable statements about the foreign player rule. Yildirim said, "In our discussions with the friends we call the football intellect, they also said that this could cause problems. They are working, and if we are elected and need to go to the TFF, we will go."
HE WILL ALSO EMPHASIZE JUSTICE AND EQUALITY
In his meeting with the federation, Aziz Yildirim is expected to express not only the foreign player rule but also his expectations regarding justice and a fair competitive environment ahead of the new season.
