In early August, the Bodrum municipal administration, local NGOs, and Bodrum FK leadership met to coordinate support for the football club. This cooperation included organizing community events, such as a large family photo session ahead of a match against Bursaspor, to symbolize unity and boost morale.

By the end of August, the club’s president, Taner Ankara, issued a more urgent call for assistance. He reported that the club is facing significant financial challenges regarding player transfers and expressed concerns that the team is being neglected. Ankara urged the local business community, the Chamber of Commerce, and NGOs to unite behind the club to ensure its sustainability, describing the team as a “social responsibility project” and the “heart of the district.”
