At Fenerbahçe Club's congress to amend the bylaws, the management was authorized to change the name of the Ülker Stadium Şükrü Saracoğlu Sports Complex to “Atatürk”.
Ali Koç also stated that this community will always walk in the light of Atatürk, regardless of the names of the stadium, hall, facilities and said, “We have no doubt about this. If we receive approval, the necessary legal processes will be initiated. And we will knock on the door of our state for the necessary approval process. I have no doubt that they will also welcome us with understanding, I hope I am not wrong. If the name of the stadium of one of the big clubs will be Atatürk, it will suit us the most.”.
AKİT WRITER RAGES
Fenerbahçe Sports Club's decision to change the name of their stadium to ‘Atatürk’ has infuriated Akit columnist Ali Karahasanoğlu. Targeting Sözcü newspaper, which announced the news as “Fenerbahçe's decision to be applauded”, the Akit columnist said, “So says Sözcü newspaper, which is owned by a company in Switzerland. Let's also add that their boss Burak Akbay lives in France. They are published under the ownership of a company in Switzerland. Their boss lives in France. But when it comes to the abuse of Atatürk. They leave everyone in the dust. If Atatürk's name is being removed from stadiums one by one. Let the newspapers be given one by one. Sözcü newspaper should change its name and take the name “Atatürk”. Wouldn't that be nice?” he wrote.
Akit writer's article, in which he spews his hatred against Fenerbahçe's decision and ‘Atatürk' in a veiled way, continues as follows:
Or the president of Fenerbahce, who started this debate, could name the soccer team after Atatürk...
If he says that when Fenerbahçe loses, the name of Atatürk will be damaged..
“Fenerbahçe is leading for now. Until yesterday it was in danger of relegation, if we name the team Atatürk, we would be harming the founding president.”.
Rename Koç Holding as Atatürk Holding.
What's a coach?
If we asked Ali Koç, “If Atatürk hadn't existed, would he have become Koç?”.
I'm sure of your answer.
Then he should name the holding “Atatürk Holding”.
They handed the microphone to Uğur Dündar, who made an emotionally charged speech and said, “Good luck to Atatürk Holding,” so that Kemalism would no longer remain in words.
Since it is their father's shop, neither Sözcü newspaper nor Ali Koç need to ask anyone to change the name of their newspaper or holding company to Atatürk.
But they don't change the name, which they can do on their own initiative.
They want to take a step forward in the competition with Galatasaray and Beşiktaş by naming a stadium after Atatürk.
But are Beşiktaş and Galatasaray bald?
They should change the name of their stadium to Atatürk immediately.
In the end, if their stadium is not named after Atatürk, they may be accused of being “enemies of Atatürk”.
Come on, Beşiktaş and Galatasaray are also changing their bylaws or something else...
They should change the name of their stadium to “Atatürk”.
But don't let them take their time.
Because after him, there are others.
November.
Then Alibeyköy.
And then..
This is how it's going to go.
All matches will now be played at Atatürk Stadium.
No more games in other stadiums.
Whether it's Galatasaray. Whether it's Beşiktaş or Fenerbahçe..
The stadium where they'll all be played is called Ataturk.
Football fans will ask again, “which Ataturk” when it comes to a match to be played at Atatürk Stadium...
Attila Ilhan asked this question, choosing it as the title of one of his books.
Now, it is no longer just for thinkers to criticize those who try to present Atatürk in different ways.
And soccer fans, when they go to a match, will ask each other: “Which Atatürk?”
This doesn't only apply to the matches in Istanbul.
If you take into account the stadiums named after Atatürk in other provinces.
From now on, football fans who set off from Istanbul to other provinces with Atatürk stadiums will be forced to turn back when they find out that the match will be played in one of the Atatürk stadiums in Istanbul.
Is it really that important to name the stadium after Atatürk?
For example, is it more important that half of the team is made up of foreign players, or that the stadium where the match will be played is named Atatürk?
Think of it this way.
If you ask the most important players of Fenerbahçe football team, “Who is Atatürk?”.
Until today, their answer has been a counter question, “Who?”.
If the name is registered, the answer after that will be: “Our stadium.”
You know, Fenerbahçe has achieved a great success in recent years.
It's been a championship.
Twice, three times in a row.
On this occasion, in order to show our love and respect for Ataturk, let's carry the sympathy of our championship, which brings our team one step forward, to Ataturk.
I can understand.
But Fenerbahce has had no success in recent years..
He doesn't have any notable championships.
On the contrary, he's suffering from a lack of performance that's making his fans pull their hair out.
By taking Atatürk's name, are they actually trying to blame their own mistakes on Atatürk?.
“Don't dare criticize us... Our stadium is named Atatürk. We will declare you enemies of Atatürk, you won't be able to get back on your feet” plan to change the name of the stadium?
One more question..
What exactly is the name?
Ataturk Stadium?
Or is it Fenerbahçe Atatürk Stadium?
Here we go, another topic of discussion.
Does Fenerbahçe come before Atatürk's name or not?
Does the name Fenerbahçe overshadow Atatürk's name or not?
Go ahead and argue..
You are not going to discuss TOGG, you are not going to discuss UAVs and UCAVs, you are not going to discuss TCG Anadolu and the Altay Tank...
Should we rename the stadium Fenerbahçe Atatürk Stadium..
Or should we just build Atatürk stadium?
And once the decision is taken, let's chant slogans..
“We are the soldiers of Mustafa Kemal!”
So. Are Besiktas, or Galatasaray, the soldiers of the Greek Venezilos?
