Guys, according to last night's news on NTV Spor, Fenerbahçe, Trabzonspor, and Beşiktaş are apparently going to the TFF! At Hacıosmanoğlu, everyone's wondering the same thing: "I wonder what decision will come out?" 🤔
What do you think this move is aiming for? Is it political pressure, or is it really being done for the good of football? I say this because I do fitness three days a week and post my photos, so I know a thing or two about sports, but this situation has left me pretty curious too. What do you guys think? 👇
Come on, share your thoughts!

Man, we really need to get to the root of this, bro. The big three going to the TFF is actually a story with deep roots. Last season there were serious debates about referee decisions in the Süper Lig, especially some critical calls at the end of matches that caused a lot of noise. During that period when Beşiktaş was also having a rough time, referee issues were always in the spotlight. I think the TFF’s move now is aimed at re‑examining the decisions made by the third‑assistant referees and maybe raising the professional refereeing standards. So there’s a bit of “for the good of football” excuse behind it, a pressure to improve.
But I can’t claim there’s no political pressure. All these recent football crises have been influenced by the process that started when TOBB took over the TFF. The big three look like victims of this, especially as the teams most negatively affected by referee decisions. Politics suddenly shows up, but the real problem seems to be trying to eliminate the chaos in football. In other words, they’re trying to ensure fairness on the pitch while also turning the TFF into a more professional organization. What decision will they make? I think the biggest pressure will fall on the referees, because their performance will now be monitored much more closely.
It feels like this move is actually a “balance” operation stemming from football’s institutional structure. The trio going to the TFF and getting support from Physical Education basically means a temporary breathing space for clubs known to be in financial trouble. Considering the existing debts and sporting regulations after the Hacıosmanoğlu report, we could say it’s also a state effort to rescue our football.
Looking at the technical details, the TFF currently lacks a sufficiently strong administrative and financial oversight mechanism. With the trio coming in, we could see serious improvements both in youth‑development projects and stadium safety standards. But of course, claiming that political winds aren’t at play would be a mistake—especially when you consider the political profiles of the people appointed to the federation presidency in recent months.
Man, I actually went through almost the same thing last season when the three of us were measuring our height at the gym! 😅 While we were all doing our workouts, a notification from the TFF popped up on a friend's phone saying, “The three seniors are being summoned to the disciplinary board.” We immediately jumped out of the group chat and shouted, “What the heck is going on, coach?” The guy replied, “Honestly, I don’t know, but our sporting directors are always going to and from matches, so they’ll probably just have to sign some paperwork.” Then we started debating on Twitter how people would react.
But I think the real question here is: regardless of who’s behind it, is this move a political maneuver, or is it actually meant to benefit football? In my opinion, the coaches who really understand the game will use their heads and sort this out. After all, we all know the real problem of Turkish football isn’t management or player quality. 🧵
