Decision Day at Fenerbahçe: Will the New President be Yıldırım or Safi?
The second day of Fenerbahçe Sports Club's 2026 Extraordinary Election General Assembly continues today in Kadıköy with voting. Aziz Yıldırım, who served for 20 years as Fenerbahçe's 32nd president between 1998-2018, faces Hakan Safi, the Chairman of Safi Holding's Board of Directors, who also served as a member of the board during Ali Koç's era. Voting that began at 10:00 at the former Kenan Evren High School site will end at 17:00; the official results are expected to be clear around 19:00. The election, in which approximately 45,000 congress members have the right to vote, will shape the future of the yellow-and-blue community during a period in which the club has been unable to win the championship for the last 12 seasons.
