We have grown up by struggling with difficulties in every period of our history. The challenges we face today actually open the doors to a transformation that will make us stronger. But let's not forget: Beşiktaş is not the collective conscience of one person or group, but of millions.
The congress on May 11th is not just a presidential election, it is a struggle for existence. At this historic turning point, we will make decisions that will shape the future of our club.
Our Basic Principles:
- Institutions, not individuals, are permanent. Let's not sacrifice Beşiktaş to the ambitions of individuals. Merit, transparency and accountability should be our basic criteria.
- Let's get rid of the unproductive conflicts of the past. Let's support candidates who are open to constructive criticism, unifying, and project-oriented.
- The voice of the fans cannot be ignored. Participation in decision-making mechanisms, communication and belonging must be rebuilt.
- Sporting success can only come with a solid infrastructure and scientific management. Let's demand sustainable plans, not populist promises.
Universal Sports Management Principles: Beşiktaş's Compass
- Institutional Continuity: The spirit of sports is based on the permanence of systems, not individuals. Sustainable success is not possible without solid governance structures, merit-based appointments and transparent decision-making mechanisms.
- Holistic Development: The power of a club comes from the synergy of all branches. An integrated training system based on scientific methods, extending from the youth academy to professional teams, supports both the athletic and character development of athletes.
- Social Responsibility: Real sports institutions produce social projects that are not only performance-oriented but also add value to society. Fan/follower relations are based on a sincere dialogue strengthened by a sense of belonging.
- Financial Intelligence: Institutions that can balance sporting goals with financial discipline secure both today and tomorrow. Strategic management of resources is the basis of long-term planning.
- Ethical Leadership: Institutions that protect the pure spirit of sports prioritize fair play, sportsmanship and athlete health under all circumstances. These values never compromise on performance targets.
When every branch within Beşiktaş is managed in light of these universal principles, both sporting success and social prestige will come naturally. Because the true sportsman's spirit is not about short-term gains, but about building a legacy that will last for generations.
Now is the Time for Unity!
We must make our choices in this congress without getting stuck on the wounds of the past, by seeing the realities of today and thinking about our tomorrows. Every moment we forget to believe in the power of “us”, we become lonely on this sacred path we walk together. However, Beşiktaş’s history is full of pages where every struggle we gave shoulder to shoulder was crowned with victory.
Come, in this historic moment; let us be the voice of reason, not of hatred, of hope, not of anger, of unity, not of division. Because Beşiktaş exists with us. We exist with Beşiktaş…
