I want to correct this misunderstanding. The cost that I stated in my speech that I would undertake is actually the entire architectural, static and reinforced concrete projects. That is, approximately 1 million dollars. The construction expenditure, which is estimated to be approximately 50 million euros, is provided by our club through sponsorship, lodges and lodges."

Currently, the projects are finished. The projects are in the approval phase. Probably in the middle of November." "We will start the construction and we expect it to be completed in 12 months in November 2027." he said.
