The echoes of the appointment of Slovenian referee Slavko Vincic for the Galatasaray-Fenerbahçe derby, which will be played in the 25th week of the Trendyol Super League and will directly affect the championship race, continue. The yellow-reds, who reacted strongly to the decision, took a highly talked-about action following this development.
GALATASARAY INVITED CEFERIN TO THE DERBY
According to rumors in the corridors; Galatasaray invited UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin to the derby, which will be officiated by Slavko Vincic, who is also Slovenian. The yellow-reds conveyed this request to Ceferin through a letter. It is claimed that in the letter, the UEFA President was asked to come to the derby and witness the events that would unfold.
WHY DOES GALATASARAY NOT WANT VINCIC?
After Fenerbahçe Vice President Acun Ilıcalı met with Sloven Aleksander Ceferin, the Galatasaray management, which is dominated by the view that Slavko Vincic was appointed from the same country, does not want Vincic due to Ilıcalı's ownership of the Maribor Club in Slovenia. The 45-year-old referee, born in Maribor, also has close ties with UEFA President Alexander Ceferin, who is also Slovenian.
