Personally, I don't want foreign players to play in any leagues."
TFF President Ibrahim Haciosmanoglu arrived in Diyarbakir yesterday to watch the match between Amed Sportif Faaliyetler and Uğur Okulları İstanbulspor, which will be played tonight at 21:00 in the 1st League. President Haciosmanoglu was accompanied by TFF Vice President Mecnun Otyakmaz and TFF Board Members Zehra Neşe Kavak and Lale Cander. President Haciosmanoglu visited Diyarbakir Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Governorship, Diyarbakirspor, Diyarbekirspor, and Provincial Gendarmerie Command in order. President Haciosmanoglu then visited the facilities of Amed Sportif Faaliyetler. President Haciosmanoglu met with Amed Sportif Faaliyetler President Aziz Elaldı and made statements.
"WE WILL BE EQUALLY DISTANT TO EVERYONE" TFF President Ibrahim Haciosmanoglu thanked those who supported him during the election process and said, "If there are sports enthusiasts who have been subjected to injustice and demand justice in the East and Southeast, Central Anatolia, Aegean, Mediterranean, and Black Sea regions, Mr. President also supported us in the same way. I thank him. President works for Amed Sport to contribute to peace and brotherhood. This homeland, this flag is ours. For everyone who has no problem with their homeland and flag, we will work as their representatives wherever they want to integrate. One of the biggest features of football is that it appeals to wide masses. It needs to be used in every field to achieve peace and brotherhood. Our principles are in line with that. We will be fair and just. We will be equally distant and impartial to everyone. In order to increase the brand value of football, as Mr. President just showed, they are building infrastructure and facilities. We will spread them not only to Amed Sport but also to the whole country. You can build facilities, but if you don't fill them professionally, no product will come out of there. We believe that football's development should start from there."
"I DON'T WANT FOREIGN PLAYERS TO PLAY IN ANY LEAGUES" TFF President Haciosmanoglu, who stated that there is a problem with foreign players in the country, said, "We pay the players a fortune. Those who adapt, adapt; those who don't, take their money and leave. In my personal opinion, of course, this is a team work, in my personal opinion, I don't want foreign players to play in any of the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd leagues. But in order to achieve this, we need to start from the amateur level and support our teams with professional teams in every field... We know most of the problems. Our goal is to make it a producing position from the amateur level to the 1st league. We will work for that. Amed Sport is also the team of this country. We have a match tonight. There is no city like this in Turkey. I thank everyone who contributed to this. It is a city that should be taken as an example."
"LET'S SHOW HOW BROTHERHOOD IS TONIGHT" TFF President Haciosmanoglu emphasized that it is the duty of every individual of this nation to involve children in sports and channel them to better places and said:
"We should be more sensitive not only in Diyarbakir but also in all our cities. As promised tonight, we came to Amed Sport's match, but we came a day earlier. It turned out very well. It was a big coincidence. Amed Sport will play against Istanbulspor. The owners of Istanbulspor are also from my hometown. They are from Of. I want to address Amed Sport fans from here as well. I know they have good feelings towards me. Let's show how brotherhood is in tonight's match together. If we create an atmosphere that contributes to the atmosphere of brotherhood in our next steps, it will be an example for both Diyarbakir, Amed Sport, and other cities in this regard. That's my wish and expectation. Everything will be beautiful."
"50% OF OUR MATCHES CONSIST OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN" Amed Sportif Faaliyetler President Aziz Elaldı, who stated that historic moments have been experienced for the past 2 days, said, "Thanks to our participating friends, a beautiful image of peace, love, and unity bridge was formed. We thank our participants for their visits. We do this job for the hunger of the region for football and sports, the love of children and young people, and their longing for football that we saw in the places we visited with our president yesterday. Our goal is to dominate football in this region. We also have a match tonight. As you know, 50% of our matches consist of women and children. We allocate certain areas to women and children. We give free tickets."
