Speaking about the bonuses given to national team players, Hacıosmanoğlu said, "We are giving the bonuses with our own money. Money is for days like these. We won't take it to the grave.

The President of the Turkish Football Federation (TFF), İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu, made statements before the Trabzonspor-Galatasaray match.
''MAY THE ONE WHO DESERVES TO WIN, WIN''
Speaking about the challenging match, İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu said, "My only wish for the Trabzonspor-Galatasaray match is that no one sees the referee on the field this evening. Let them see the football being played. No one's rights should be violated. Whoever deserves it on the field, may they win."
"I SAID 'YOU WILL ENCOUNTER THINGS YOU CANNOT IMAGINE'"
Speaking about the bonus discussions related to the National Team, İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu stated, "God has granted me the presidency of the federation. For what days is money needed? It is needed for these days. If we could motivate the children a little, we are happy. Otherwise, we won't take the money to the grave, so no one should worry. We are giving from our own money, from our own capital to the children. I said, become world champions; perhaps you will encounter things you cannot imagine. People talk, looking for something beneath something, but I never listen. You shouldn't listen either." he expressed.
"WE REPRESENT THE TURKISH ISLAMIC WORLD"
Continuing his remarks, Hacıosmanoğlu said, "Very valuable federation presidents have served Turkish football. There is no case for separating as a Trabzon resident; this is a national cause. In fact, don't think of just 80 million; we represent the Turkish Islamic world. Nearly 20 country federation presidents called me. They said, 'We want Turkey's success, we will be proud.' The president of the Kosovo Federation wished us success, saying, 'Don't let us down.' If God permits, we hope to win the cup and return with it." he commented.
