TFF EXECUTIVE AKÜZÜM: MAY GOD PROTECT THE OPPRESSED AND VICTIMS



When asked for his thoughts on this process, Ural Aküzüm, a member of the Board of Directors responsible for Women's Football at TFF, stated, "It is very important for us as a nation to be represented in women's football in the UEFA Champions League. We want FOMGET to advance to the group stage representing the Turkish flag. If they play against the Israeli representative, our state will take the necessary precautions. The Turkish nation has a stance of standing by the oppressed regarding Israel. May God be the helper of the oppressed and victims. We need to separate politics from sports. Of course, our hearts are with the continuous participation of Turkish women's football in the Champions League."
