Turkey on March 11 after the first cases have played the spectators match, mainly to the postponement of the league after the first fatal cases of Minister of Youth and Sports Dr. Under the leadership of Mehmet Muharrem Kasapoğlu, we decided in consultation with relevant authorities and state authorities. In this sense, the State will make prior agreement with the competent person and installed, radical decisions in this regard should not escape the attention in Europe that Turkey Football Federation, the federation that more quickly.
It is a duty that our Board of Directors, which decides on the postponement of the leagues as the cases in the epidemic increase, determines a calendar for 40 days after paying attention to the “new normalities” announced by the authorized organisms of the state, In the other areas, just as decisions are implemented with the approval and advice of the competent and competent state boards, the actual start of soccer competitions will also be within certain rules.
That’s why he emphasized “for now” on top of that.
In addition to the schedule announced by our President, Mr. Nihat Özdemir at the press conference, 7 different start dates were shared with all relevant and authorized units in the country. That is why the President emphasized “for now” at the press conference. Of course, TFF is the only authority in the league organization, but the initial decision of the leagues cannot be made without consultation. A new plan will be implemented, if necessary, by observing the country’s health conditions on the date of the start of the competitions.
“There are many European countries that decided to start the leagues on May 30”
In addition, there will be competitions that we will be able to observe in front of us … We have announced the start date of the leagues on June 12 based on the preliminary work of the European Cup prepared by UEFA and shared with all the countries’ federations. The leagues in Germany begin on May 16 … There are many European countries that decided to start the leagues on May 30 … A long process awaits us, both to observe the process in our country and to draw conclusions from what happened in these leagues.
TFF Health Board released the Return to Soccer Protocol on May 1. It is clear that this protocol does not have permission or recommendation to play soccer games. The protocol consists of a framework that includes the start of training and what should be considered for health in the relevant process. In the protocol, although the players were recommended to go to the field with intervals of 10 minutes in the first 2 weeks of training, the positions given by the soccer players of some teams that started training did not escape attention. Everyone from providers to security personnel, from soccer to the kitchen, has a responsibility to himself, his family, his teammate and his club.
On this occasion, we would like to mention one more point. Our country has taken giant steps in the field of health under the leadership of our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in recent years. Our ministers and health professionals also have a great contribution to make in these successes. During the Covid-19 pandemic, our Minister of Health, Mr. Fahrettin Koca and the health community have achieved successful performance that will be demonstrated by the finger in the world. We would not be willing or unwilling to attract our health community, especially our Minister, to a channel where there are stakeholders at many different points, such as soccer, and unfortunately, even with all kinds of sports decisions, they get big. speculations.
“We believe that the intention of all those who give opinions is health”
We believe that the intention of all those who give positive or negative opinions regarding the decision to start the leagues is health … As long as expectations are not future earnings, the Covid-19 process threatens the health of athletes.
We would like to say that again; At this stage, asking for the leagues to be canceled means, in a sense, demanding a new solution, a new controversy starting today.
We demand that our shareholders and soccer fans follow the process calmly and strive to be part of the solution.
We wish God’s mercy once again to those who lost their lives due to this epidemic, and we wish our patients urgent healing.
Regarding the public.
Turkish Football Federation
