A surprise support came to Vanspor, a TFF 1st League team experiencing a stadium crisis. İskenderunspor, which plays in the TFF 2nd League, invited Vanspor to play their home matches at their own stadium.
Before the new season, due to the demolition of their stadium, TFF 1. Lig team Vanspor FK, struggling to find a venue for their home matches, received unexpected and meaningful support from TFF 2. Lig team İskenderunspor.
İSKENDERUNSPOR'S CALL TO VANSPOR
The Eastern Anatolia representative, who previously received negative responses from Amedspor and Batman Petrolspor for their home matches, was trying to overcome their stadium deadlock when a solidarity hand was extended from the İskenderunspor front. The Hatay team stated they have not forgotten the difficult days they experienced in the past and announced that their doors are wide open to Vanspor.
"WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN THOSE WHO STOOD BY US IN OUR DIFFICULT DAYS"
In the official statement made by İskenderunspor Club, it was emphasized that football is not just a 90-minute game; it is also a sport of loyalty and standing shoulder to shoulder in tough times. The Hatay club, recalling that one of the communities that supported them the most after the earthquake disaster was Vanspor, said: "One of the communities that stood by us in our darkest days, shared our pain, and made us feel their support after the earthquake disaster was Vanspor. Repaying such meaningful solidarity is not just a duty for us, but also a debt of loyalty. Therefore, as İskenderunspor Club, we want to share with the public that the doors of our stadium, which meets 1st League standards, are wide open to Vanspor."
THANKS FROM VANSPOR CAME QUICKLY
This call from İskenderunspor was met with a message of thanks from the Vanspor FK community. In their statement, the Van representative stated that this stance is a very valuable example for the football world and expressed their gratitude to İskenderunspor Club President Hakan Bolat and the entire İskenderunspor community for this spirit of brotherhood and solidarity.
