Menemen FK, one of the teams in the Nesine 2nd League, has announced its withdrawal from the league.
"A BITTER NECESSITY"
The club's president, Bilgin Tokul, stated in his written statement that they were "left alone not only economically but also morally." Tokul, noting that despite well-intentioned initiatives, searches for support, and efforts to find solutions, the conditions that would ensure Menemen Football Club's survival did not materialize, said in his statement, "Therefore, we regretfully state that the decision to withdraw Menemen Football Club from the league is no longer a choice, but a bitter necessity imposed on us by the current circumstances. No president, no manager would want to write such a decision into the history of a club approaching its 100th year, but sometimes a person's strength is not enough to carry the burden placed on their shoulders."
