In Turkish football, eyes have turned to the critical board meeting that the Turkish Football Federation will hold today at 14:00. Before the meeting, which closely concerns the future of the federation, TFF President İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu broke his silence.
Speaking to Tivibu Spor, Hacıosmanoğlu, responding to the question of whether he would resign, said, "You know me, would I resign?"
THREE CRITICAL TOPICS TO BE DISCUSSED
At the meeting to be held under the chairmanship of Hacıosmanoğlu, who is expected to return from Berlin to Istanbul, three important headings will be discussed. Whether to hold an extraordinary electoral general assembly at the federation, developments regarding the presidency of the Central Referee Board, and the future of Turkish National Team Head Coach Vincenzo Montella will be put on the table.
CRITICAL MEETING AFTER REFEREE INVESTIGATION
One of the important agenda items of the meeting is the investigation being conducted about referees. Within the scope of the "Referees file" investigation, 5 people, including Central Referee Board Chairman Ferhat Gündoğdu, were arrested. Among the arrested names are referee Yasin Kol and assistant referee Göktuğ Hazar Erel. After the developments, decisions regarding the future of the Central Referee Board presidency are expected to be discussed.
DIFFERENCE OF OPINION IN THE BOARD ON ELECTIONS
It is claimed that a large portion of the TFF Board of Directors members want an extraordinary electoral general assembly to be held. It is stated that Hacıosmanoğlu, however, is in favor of continuing his duty. After the president's resignation response before the meeting, eyes have turned to the decisions that will come out of the board of directors.
