Galatasaray President Dursun Özbek has outlined several strategic objectives for the club, focusing on sporting success, international expansion, and financial management.

In early October, Özbek announced goals to secure a 27th championship and achieve five consecutive titles. To address a saturated domestic market, the club entered negotiations with a major US-based firm for international sponsorship. He also noted ongoing legal disputes regarding championship trophies involving Taç Spor.

By mid-October, following the club’s annual ordinary general assembly, the board of directors was officially discharged for the 2025–2026 period. Özbek highlighted the men’s football team’s recent 26th championship and its progress in the UEFA Champions League. Additionally, the club is pursuing the ‘NBA Europe project’ through negotiations with the NBA and various investors. On the financial front, the administration is working to address significant debt owed to Sportif AŞ and aims to reduce the club’s total number of ongoing lawsuits.

At a subsequent Annual Ordinary General Assembly held at the Haliç Congress Center, the management board led by Özbek was approved by a majority vote for the period spanning June 1, 2025, to May 31, 2026. During this assembly, Özbek reported a record consolidated revenue of 480 million euros. He also provided updates on the Florya project, noting that a revenue-sharing agreement with Nivak Yapı is projected to generate at least 300 million dollars. The administration continues to prioritize the pursuit of a fifth consecutive football championship and the NBA Europe project for the basketball division.
