In the Euroleague Final Four semi-final match, Fenerbahçe faced Panathinaikos. The events that took place in Bursa before the match made headlines.
REACTION TO THE MUNICIPALITY THAT BROADCASTS THE MATCH
Bursa Mudanya Municipality announced on its social media accounts that the Fenerbahçe - Panathinaikos match would be broadcast on a giant screen in Mütareke Square before the match. In response, Bursaspor fans rebelled against this decision. A large number of green-white fans gathered in Mütareke Square and called for the resignation of Mayor Deniz Dalgıç. The fans expressed in their chants that only Bursaspor's matches could be broadcast in Bursa.
CALL FOR RESIGNATION FROM THE FANS GROUP
The Bursaspor Teksas Fans Group harshly criticized the Mudanya Municipality after the match and called for its resignation. In a statement released, it was said, "Despite all the rightful reactions from the public, past warnings, and the common sensitivity in this city, Mudanya Municipality has not given up on its love for the Istanbul club. This organization, carried out under the pretext of 'Unity', aims to legitimize other emblems in the heart of Bursa and fill our children's minds with other jerseys. You are trying to sell this organization as 'representing the country', but we know it is an attempt to hide the enmity towards Bursaspor behind national values.
And how unfortunate it is that hundreds of security personnel were mobilized for this event, which took place with about 30 people. Roads were closed, citizens were subjected to identity checks, and peace was not left in the city. We ask, why such expense and security measures for 30 people? For whom? What is the real purpose of this organization? How much resources has the municipality allocated for this? Has the organizing company behind this event emerged from a circle close to the mayor? These questions cannot remain unanswered! This event, carried out with Bursa's own resources, is sheer waste, extravagance, and even carries the suspicion of corruption. Every attempt to cast a shadow over Bursaspor is doomed to be condemned in the conscience of this community," the statement said.
