Bodrum FK President calls for local support amid facility shortages

Bodrum FK President Taner Ankara has issued an urgent call for support to the local business community, NGOs, and the Chamber of Commerce, stating that the club cannot be ignored in a region where it operates. During a press conference held with Vice President Selahattin Polat, Ankara emphasized the need for unity to ensure the club's sustainability and urged local leaders to move past previous administrative grievances.

Ankara highlighted severe infrastructure deficiencies, specifically noting that the club's high-profile new signing, Cameroonian striker Vincent Aboubakar, would have to stay in a container due to a lack of adequate facilities. The club president stressed that while they have made significant investments in transfers through the sacrifices of four partners, the high costs of professional football require more robust local financial and institutional backing to succeed in the league.
