A RECORD NUMBER OF VOTES CAST

The Beşiktaş Club is electing its new president at an extraordinary general assembly. The general assembly started at 10:00 AM at the Sinan Erdem Sports Hall.

It was reported that approximately 29,000 members with voting rights could go to the polls at the extraordinary congress. 25 ballot boxes were set up at the Sinan Erdem Sports Hall for the congress members to cast their votes.

SECOND EXTRAORDINARY CONGRESS IN 13 MONTHS

The black-and-white club will hold its second extraordinary congress in about 13 months after a troubled period in administrative and sports matters. Hasan Arat, who was elected president on December 3, 2023, could not complete his term. Arat resigned on November 29 due to the poor performance of the football team and issues within the board of directors. According to the statute, the second president, Hüseyin Yücel, who took over from Arat, convened the board of directors and decided to hold an extraordinary congress. In the congress, Yücel competed with former board member Serdal Adalı to become the new president of Beşiktaş.
