President of the Turkish Football Federation returned to Istanbul

(Patria) - Mehmet Buyukeksi, president of the Turkish Football Federation, returned to Istanbul today, after the scandal that occurred last night in Saudi Arabia where the Fenerbahçe-Galatasaray match was supposed to be played.

The organizers in Riyadh did not allow Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray players to come out for warm-up in t-shirts with the image of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, which caused chaos, resulting in the cancellation of the Turkish Super Cup match.

Players from both teams returned to Istanbul late on Friday, where they were welcomed by thousands of fans.
Journalists met the head of Turkish football at the airport today, who, despite the scandal, was in an excellent mood and got into his car with a smile on his face.

"I wish you a Happy New Year. We already gave the necessary statements yesterday," said Buyukeksi, who had health problems after the match was cancelled and received assistance.
