The club that finished the first half of TFF 3rd League Group 4 in last place without a victory and is at risk of relegation to amateur leagues, Nazillispor, has reached the end of the road. Club President Şahin Kaya was arrested on December 9 for allegedly fixing the controversial match against Ankaraspor played on April 28, 2024, and the current 20 players have also been penalized for betting.
THEY DECIDED TO WITHDRAW FROM THE LEAGUE DUE TO FINANCIAL IMPOSSIBILITIES
The historic club of the Aegean, Nazillispor, has decided to withdraw from the league. According to the judicial decision regarding the match-fixing allegations, the club, which is at risk of relegation under Article 56 of the Football Disciplinary Regulations by the Turkish Football Federation, has come to the brink of closure. The 58-year-old black-and-white club, whose stadium has been closed and facilities have been taken away, bid farewell to professional leagues after the last match of the first half against Uşakspor, which they lost 2-0 yesterday. The club management announced that they made the decision to withdraw from the league due to severe economic problems.
THE CURRENT SITUATION IS UNSUSTAINABLE
After the match, Nazillispor A.Ş. Vice President İsmail Poyraz shared with the public that the club has decided to withdraw from the league. Poyraz stated that the decision is a result of the long-standing financial and moral difficulties, emphasizing that the current situation has become unsustainable.
''WE HAVE REACHED THE END OF THE ROAD''
In his statement, İsmail Poyraz said, "This is the last match for Nazillispor. Şahin Kaya and I have done everything we can for the club. The reason is not the well-known events discussed in the public. There is still no definitive situation; the legal process is ongoing. However, we have reached the end of the road. If we have kept this team in the league for three years, the main architect is Şahin Kaya. His family life is over, he was arrested, and he has become part of an investigation across Turkey. All of these are due to Nazillispor."
