Beşiktaş President Serdal Adalı, in a statement following his referral to the PFDK, rejected the allegations and emphasized the importance of justice and transparency. In his statement, Adalı said, "This referral cannot intimidate either me or Beşiktaş."
Beşiktaş Club President Serdal Adalı stated that being referred to the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) Professional Football Discipline Board (PFDK) will not intimidate him or the black-and-white club.
''FAIR, EQUAL, AND PROPERLY MANAGED FOOTBALL SYSTEM''
In a statement made on his social media account, Serdal Adalı said, "I have been referred to the Professional Football Discipline Board (PFDK) on the grounds of a statement shared from the official social media accounts of Beşiktaş Gymnastics Club regarding a match situation, claiming that it 'damages the brand value of Turkish football.' First of all, it should be known that the aforementioned statement aims to defend justice, transparency, and fairness, rather than damaging the reputation of Turkish football. The Beşiktaş community has never demanded favoritism, privileges, or protection. Our only request is a football system that is fair, equal, and properly managed for everyone."
''NEITHER I NOR BEŞİKTAŞ CAN BE INTIMIDATED''
Emphasizing that they will never turn back from the path they believe is right with the support of the Beşiktaş community, Serdal Adalı stated, "This referral can neither intimidate me nor Beşiktaş. It is impossible for these decisions, which are intended to intimidate, to prevent us from speaking the truth, seeking our rights, and protecting the true reputation of Turkish football. If Turkish football is to be genuinely cleaned up, it can only be achieved through stances that adhere to principles, defend their rights, and demand justice for everyone. Beşiktaş is the strongest representative of this stance and will continue to be so."
