I wish success to all the teams that will play in the cup. We want to go as far as we can in the cup. We want to be successful in both arenas.

We will do everything to achieve a successful result from here. Football is a match with three possible outcomes. Of course, we, as Kocaelispor, want to win. We will win, inshallah," he expressed.
''OUR GOAL IS EUROPE''
Evaluating the progress and goals of the green-black team in the league, Vice President Arık stated, "After Kocaelispor was promoted to the Super League, almost the entire team changed. We started with new players, and of course, there is a process of adaptation. The first 6-7 matches were difficult for us, our schedule was tough. We overcame these challenges, and the team has started to settle in. As you can see in the last matches, this situation has also reflected in the results. Our goal is to be among the top 8. Our goal is Europe. Inshallah, we will achieve this," he concluded his remarks.
