MHP Kocaeli Deputy Saffet Sancaklı spoke about the betting scandal in the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TBMM). Saffet Sancaklı called on clubs to take advantage of the situation, in which 1,024 players were penalized, by including young players from their youth academies in their squads. He stated that at least 100 new players could be gained in the upcoming season and said that clubs that do not play young players should be relegated.

The TBMM Planning and Budget Commission convened for the 2026 budget and final account discussions of the Ministry of Youth and Sports. Saffet Sancaklı, a member of parliament from MHP Kocaeli and a former football player, made statements regarding one of the most important agenda items of recent days, the betting scandal.

"ONE-THIRD HAVE BETTED!"

Member of Parliament Saffet Sancaklı spoke about the magnitude of the figures announced by the TFF, saying, "After the figures were announced, I was shocked myself. 1024 football players have bet. There are a total of 3700 players in the Turkish leagues. One-third have bet," he said.

"BETTING MAFIA!"

Explaining that the betting mafia operates through financially struggling players and clubs, Saffet Sancaklı stated, "Clubs have been managed so poorly that they are facilitating this. Clubs that cannot pay match fees are leaving players in the hands of the betting mafia," he expressed.

"RELEGATION SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED!"

Continuing his remarks, Sancaklı made a striking suggestion by calling for turning the situation from a crisis into an opportunity, saying, "1024 players have been punished. They will want transfers in the future. Let's prevent the transfers. Clubs should bring up young players from the youth system instead of the 1024 players. We can gain at least 100 new players next year. If there is a club that does not play young players, it should be relegated," he said.
