Fenerbahçe club leadership and internal developments

Overview

Fenerbahçe President Aziz Yıldırım has been managing internal club matters and organizational strategy following recent election rivalries. In early September, Yıldırım met with former presidential candidate Hakan Safi to discuss the club’s future, including the Maltepe Project and resolving disputes regarding VIP facilities.

By mid-September, Yıldırım addressed the club’s “targeted” transfer approach during a visit to Diyarbakır, noting that player departures are based on technical staff reports. He also dismissed allegations from journalist Emre Bol regarding his daughter, Yaz Yıldırım, and her alleged communication with players İrfan Can Kahveci and Mert Hakan Yandaş, labeling such claims “indecent.” On the field, the club has faced a difficult start to the Trendyol Süper Lig season, sitting in 11th place following a draw against Gaziantep FK. This performance has drawn criticism from figures such as Sergen Yalçın regarding squad engineering and leadership.

Looking toward long-term stability, the club has scheduled an Ordinary General Assembly for September 27. Led by Yıldırım, the meeting will address several strategic and financial initiatives. Key agenda items include seeking authorization to purchase a portion of the Samandıra Can Bartu Facilities from the Treasury, reviewing plans for the Maltepe Football Academy, and developing a Fenerbahçe Museum in Kadıköy. Financial proposals include increasing Ülker Stadium capacity, launching a 120th-anniversary lottery, and securing funding through the COVE1907 project, which aims to generate approximately 150 million euros.
