STATEMENT FROM RAMS BAŞAKŞEHİR

On the other hand, RAMS Başakşehir club also published a statement regarding the matter. The statement from the orange-blue club included the following remarks:

"Yesterday, after the Eyüpspor-Antalyaspor match played in the 11th week of the Trendyol Super League, we believe it has become necessary to make a statement as İstanbul Başakşehir Football Club regarding the claims made by Antalyaspor's head coach Mr. Erol Bulut that 'tactical information within the club has been leaked.'

As İstanbul Başakşehir FK, we always place the highest importance on ethical values, the spirit of fair play, and the respectability of Turkish football. Our head coach Nuri Şahin and his team, who focus solely on their own work, the development of our club, and our performance on the field, have not received any information or documents related to the opposing team prior to the mentioned match.

We find it essential for all parties to use a responsible language in order to prevent the relevant statements from harming the respectability of Turkish football, and we hope that the public will focus on the labor and beauty of football rather than unverified claims," it was stated.
