'Let all matches be managed by foreigners'

The yellow-navy management announced that it conveyed its request to the TFF to complete the season with foreign referees. The statement said, "The positive contributions of the foreign referee board appointed by the TFF to the Galatasaray derby to Turkish football have been seen by the majority of the sports community . The fact that the same referee is requested by some Super League clubs for their own matches as a result of the performance of the referee board both before and after the match is an indication of the legitimacy of our requests to date. For this reason, we have officially conveyed our request to the Turkish Football Federation on February 25, 2025 for all remaining matches in the 2024-2025 season to be refereed by foreign referees. In this context, we would like to inform the public that we welcome the request of our opponents to have their matches refereed by a foreign referee . "

REQUEST FROM SAMSUN FOR 3 MATCHES Following TRABZON and Beşiktaş, Samsun also made an official application to the TFF and requested foreign referees for 3 matches. The statement said, "Our club is in third place in the Super League and continues its struggle to participate in European cups. We are requesting the appointment of a foreign referee for our matches against F.Bahçe, G.Saray and Trabzonspor."
