Former Fenerbahce President Aziz Yildirim has announced that he will run for the club presidency in the next extraordinary elective general assembly set on June 6-7, while calling on other potential candidates to come together around a shared ticket.
In a written statement, Yildirim said he felt a moral responsibility toward Fenerbahce supporters at a time when the club was going through a difficult period, adding that concerns over the club’s future had led him to step forward.
"I am a candidate for the presidency of Fenerbahce Sports Club for a legendary 120th year in which we will show that the Fenerbahce community is united and together," Yildirim said.
Aziz Yildirim, 73, is widely regarded as the legendary president of Fenerbahce, having led the club for two decades between 1998 and 2018.
