Aziz Yıldırım spoke about Fenerbahçe's new stadium project. Yıldırım stated, "Nihat Özbağı invested significant time and money in the stadium project before the elections. He worked both domestically and internationally. This project was presented as an election promise. It is natural for Mr. Nihat to feel sensitive about the current management not mentioning the process while discussing this project. I have no sensitivity."

Former president of the Super League giant Fenerbahçe, Aziz Yıldırım, made statements to Ersin Düzen regarding the new stadium project announced by the management.
"I WILL MAKE A STATEMENT"
Aziz Yıldırım said, "Nihat Özbağı spent considerable time and money on the stadium project before the elections. He worked both domestically and internationally. This project was presented as an election promise. It is natural for Mr. Nihat to feel sensitive about the current management not mentioning the process while explaining this project. I have no sensitivity. I wish they would build the stadium for Fenerbahçe immediately. This is my opinion, I would be happy. I wish they would start right away. However, the management should build the stadium by creating resources with their own means and without going into debt. There are incorrect statements regarding financial matters, and I will make a statement on these issues when the time comes."
"THE STADIUM PROJECT WAS OUR PROJECT"
Fenerbahçe's former vice president Nihat Özbağı stated, "The stadium project was our project. They asked for the project from Aziz Yıldırım. If we had won the congress, we would have built this stadium out of our own pockets. They presented it as if they built the stadium themselves; the project belongs to Aziz Yıldırım. Aziz Yıldırım entrusted the project. President Aziz was very upset."
STATEMENT FROM HAMDI AKIN
Fenerbahçe Vice President Hamdi Akın stated regarding the stadium project, "The project of the stadium belongs to an architect named Adnan Aksu; it is not a project I drew. If they claim it is the same project, they need to talk to Adnan Aksu, but there is no relation. Adnan Aksu is the author of our stadium, and no project can be made here without his knowledge and consent."
"WE ARE THINKING OF STARTING IN APRIL 2026"
Fenerbahçe announced the renovation project of Ülker Stadium and showed its new form at the High Advisory Board meeting. Fenerbahçe Vice President Hamdi Akın said at the High Advisory Board meeting, "We are thinking of starting in April 2026. We need to obtain all the permits from the General Directorate of Highways, the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, the Ministry of Environment, and the Ministry of Sports. The Minister of Youth and Sports said they would support us to the end. We need 4-5 months after starting in April. The steel construction will start outside. It will be stored somewhere. After the roof is lifted with jacks, we will quickly assemble them. It will seem like 4 months, but it will take 1-1.5 years. The assembly will take 4 months." After Fenerbahçe's renovation project, the capacity of Ülker Stadium will be 64,160.
