Why It Matters
TFF tries to ensure the fundamentality of the sport by implementing regulations that prohibit football players and managers from betting. In this context, past betting activities are identified and disciplinary processes are initiated.
TFF referred managers who were found to be betting in the last 5 years to PFDK. One of the names referred to discipline was Sarıyer SK President Emre Yaldız. The President made a remarkable statement on the issue late at night.
"THAT IS AN UNACCEPTABLE SITUATION"
The president said that bringing the issue to the agenda today, based on the 5 TL coupon he played for the Sweden-Ukraine match 5 years ago, is an assassination of reputation, as follows:
"It is unacceptable that I am facing a disciplinary/punishment process from TFF today due to a 5 TL coupon I played on Bilyoner on June 29, 2021.
The coupon in question is not related to any match of Sarıyer Football Club. It belongs to a Sweden-Ukraine match within the scope of the European Championship, which was not played in the Turkish League.
Even though 5 years have passed, bringing this record to the agenda today is almost a "reputation assassination".
The cleanliness of football and the fight against betting should of course be supported to the fullest. However, justice; It also requires looking at the nature, date, amount and facts of the event.
Creating a penalty agenda after 5 years based on a 5 TL coupon is also a big problem for Turkish football.
Appreciation from the Turkish football public..."
