A Legacy of Dedication and Integrity
Yücel underscored his unwavering dedication to Beşiktaş, highlighting his tireless efforts over the past year to achieve success for the club. He emphasized his commitment to genuine progress, rejecting the temptation to engage in superficial displays or exploit rivalries for personal gain.
He concluded his speech by reaffirming his commitment to the Beşiktaş community,stating,”I have always fought for Beşiktaş,and I will continue to do so with unwavering passion and dedication.”
The Election process
The Beşiktaş general assembly, comprising approximately 29,000 members, is currently underway. Voting will continue until 10:00 PM local time. Hüseyin Yücel is represented by blue ballots, while his opponent, Serdal Adalı, is represented by white ballots. The candidate who secures the majority of votes cast in the 25 designated polling stations will become the new president of the iconic black-and-white club.
A Legacy of Devotion: A Call for Unity and Stability
Standing before you today is a lifelong Beşiktaş devotee, driven by an unwavering passion for this club. My commitment to Beşiktaş transcends generations; it’s a legacy passed down from father to son, a bond that will endure.
The decision to seek leadership was not taken lightly. I believe in transparency and accountability, and since announcing my candidacy, I have strived to address every question, ensuring no Beşiktaş supporter remains uninformed. Today, I ask myself the same question: “What have I done? Have I not always been here, standing with you?”
My love for Beşiktaş is paramount, eclipsing all othre considerations. It is this profound love that compels me to serve this club with unwavering dedication. This moment, this opportunity to speak to you, is the greatest honor.
Some have labeled me a traitor, a coup leader. These accusations deeply saddened me,yet I chose not to retaliate. Mr. Adalı used the term ”uprising” earlier.Perhaps I am the most democratic of revolutionaries, for my first act upon assuming office was to call for elections. I ask you, is this truly the image of a traitor? Have my actions warranted such labels? My sole motivation has been to safeguard Beşiktaş’s interests, to champion its well-being.
Breaking Free from the cycle of Division
Mr. Adalı eloquently stated that we cannot solve problems with those who created them. This resonates deeply with me. For too long, Beşiktaş has been plagued by internal strife, manipulated by narratives and illusions. We have witnessed the consequences of electing leaders based on perception rather than substance.
My candidacy is a call for unity and a return to our core values. I aim to rebuild trust, shattered over the past year, and foster a sense of shared purpose. Our plan for the next three and a half years is rooted in stability and progress.
We have a comprehensive strategy to revitalize our football team, including targeted reinforcements and a clear roadmap for success. These initiatives will be implemented without burdening the club financially. We are committed to securing necessary transfers during the upcoming window without depleting our resources. Moreover, the 50 million euro debt due in May will be settled through the personal contributions of myself and my team.This is not just a campaign promise; it is a testament to our unwavering commitment to Beşiktaş. We believe in a future where our club thrives, united by a shared passion and driven by a common goal.

Beşiktaş’a olan bağlılığım,ilk günden beri hiç değişmedi. Kulübümüzün kapısından girdiğim andan itibaren hissettiğim heyecan ve sorumluluk bilinci, bugün de aynı şekilde devam ediyor. Beşiktaş için her zaman elimden gelenin en iyisini yapmaya çalıştım ve bu adaylık da bu çabanın bir parçası.
Ne yazık ki, kulübümüz son yıllarda ciddi finansal zorluklarla karşı karşıya kaldı. Tarihte görülmemiş bir 100 milyon euro borç yükü, Beşiktaş’ı tehdit ediyor. Gelirlerin israf edilmesi ve kötü yönetim, kulübümüzü bu noktaya getirdi. Üstelik, bu durumdan sorumlu olanlar, bugün yine Beşiktaş başkanlığına aday oluyorlar.
Beşiktaş’ın geleceği için, geçmişin hatalarından ders çıkarmamız gerekiyor. Kulübümüzü, kayyumla anılan bir noktaya getirmek kabul edilemez.Beşiktaş’ı kurtarmak için, yeni bir vizyona, şeffaflığa ve hesap verebilirliğe ihtiyacımız var.
benim vizyonum,Beşiktaş’ı bu borç batağından kurtarmak ve kulübümüzü yeniden zirveye taşımaktır. Bunun için, gayrimenkul projeleri gibi yenilikçi çözümler üreteceğiz. Sponsorluk anlaşmaları yaparak, Beşiktaş’a önemli bir gelir kaynağı sağlayacağız.
Bu zorlu süreçte, Beşiktaşlıların desteğine ihtiyacımız var. Hep birlikte,kulübümüzü yeniden ayağa kaldırabiliriz. Beşiktaş’ın geleceği için, doğru seçimi yapalım.
