Hatayspor has called on the Turkish Football Federation to cancel relegation. The club states that this season's illegal betting and match-fixing allegations have harmed football. Hatayspor supports the call made by the Nationalist Movement Party Chairman, Mr. Devlet Bahçeli, to protect the honor and justice of Turkish sports. Mr. Bahçeli's suggestion to cancel relegation in all leagues is the only way out for the future of our football. Hatayspor has been struggling to survive under extraordinary and difficult conditions since the February 6 earthquake, and has also been a victim of this suspicious climate that has affected all leagues. Implementing the relegation system in a season where integrity has been compromised would mean punishing innocent clubs that have worked hard in all levels of Turkish football. As Mr. Bahçeli also emphasized, it is a legal and moral necessity to register this season without relegation in all league levels, in order to establish clean football. The Turkish Football Federation and all relevant authorities are invited to listen to this justified call; we express our gratitude to Mr. Devlet Bahçeli, who has stood up for the justice of Turkish football and the rights of the clubs. Hatayspor's call is seen as an important step for the future of Turkish football. The club's call to cancel relegation is also supported by other clubs. The Turkish Football Federation is expected to make a decision on this matter.
