Basaksehir… for the title.

Turkish football is plagued by debt as UEFA's Financial Fair Play hit a country with battered teams like lightning, doing nothing to ensure transparency and rationality. The image of the big three, Fener, Galata and Besiktas, which is estimated to be supported by about 80% of Turkish fans, is far from its standards and only the latter is relatively close to the top. Basaksehir theoretically should have symbolized something special, as it is typically a group of private capital, but its embrace with Erdogan's neighborhood, support from him and his party, as well as state-owned companies or pro-government businessmen, make fans realize that it is not just a business and football miracle, but a team with government support and a crutch. And if Erdogan's favorite region is now estimated to have 400.000 people and is constantly growing, a possible championship will be a victory for his own wing, but it will also have several dissatisfied ones.

Erdogan's Hattrick Trick!

Erdogan's relationship with football is well known, as is the way he tries to use it for political purposes. Shortly before the referendum that led to the strengthening of the "Sultan"'s powers, he himself stated: "I believe that football and politics share many elements in common. As in sports, the essence of politics is competition, the struggle. Just as a team that plays without a plan, tactic or strategy has zero chance of winning a title, so politicians and parties that have nothing to say to the world have no chance of success. "As in football, there is no politics without passion, love and devotion." A former footballer, he himself, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, took care to remind that since 2002, 1575 sports facilities have been built in the country, something that would not have been possible without him.

The image of the Turkish president wearing the orange jersey scoring a hat-trick at a stadium inauguration in 2014 had gone around the world, boosting his football profile. Except that the stadium did not belong to any team, but to the champion of this year's Turkish championship, Basaksehir. A team that appeared almost out of nowhere, built a stadium in record time and has alliances and sponsorships incompatible with its fan base. In the midst of a crisis of the big teams of the country, he found the opportunity to launch and flirt with the championship. A conversation with Patrick Kenty, English author of The passion: Football and the story of modern Turkey, led me to seek more information about this particular case of Turkish football.

The president's team!

Buyuksehir Belediyespor started climbing in the mid-90s on the outskirts of Istanbul under a different name. It was just a local group, which belonged to the water company. Erdogan was still mayor at the time, and in the suburb of Basaksehir he wanted to create a neighborhood ideal for his followers. Away from the noise and cement of the center, with green spaces, quiet and fresh air, built on the traditions of Islam. "The most important reason to buy an apartment in Basaksehir is to feel like you belong to a place with a conservative identity and a community surrounded by religious values," wrote academic Celine Gurgun in his dissertation on the neighborhood. The streets are named after great Islamic figures, dogs are forbidden in parks and most women wear burqas.

Buyuksehir changed sides in 2006 when Goksel Gumusdag, a loyalist to Erdogan, who married his wife's niece, took over as president. He brought in coach Abdullah Avci, who had passed through Galata and the national teams. In the same season he was promoted to the first division and in 2009/10 he finished sixth, while in 2011 he reached the Cup final, losing to Besiktas on penalties. Representing only one neighborhood, the team played in front of a few dozen fans at the vast Olympic Stadium.

The shirt with the number 12

Gumushdag saw in the new suburb that Erdogan built the opportunity to connect with the local community and made the decision to build a new stadium, with the full support of several key people. So it became Basaksehir. The team, meanwhile, was downgraded and the coach and coach temporarily left, but returned with the big leap and construction of the new stadium. Unlike most stadiums in the country, the Fatih Terim was built in 16 months, with the pro-government company Calion taking over. The Turkish president showed personal interest in securing the speed of construction. The friendly hat-trick he had before the 2014 presidential election, in which Erdogan took the anchor. She was wearing the 12 number on the shirt and has since retired, while the colors on the shirt were the same as the party.

The 2014 hub of the year was the transition that fueled the economic momentum. Unlike most groups in Turkey, Basaksehir went into private hands. It was acquired for 2.5 million by a group of eight businessmen affiliated with government-backed businesses. Their presence and attitude is what sponsors do. Former shirt sponsor Makro backed Erdogan while the new Deko / Vita is its subsidiary. The "mom" company is committed to paying Arda Turan's contract. Correspondingly far greater than the dynamics of its world is the percentage it receives from television rights.

Although attracted by Adebayor and Robinio type transcripts, Basaksehir has invested heavily in the scouting network and nearly two years ago did the same with its academies, offering children training alongside some training areas. At the same time, she launched a campaign with schools and neighborhoods to gain her own loyal public. What distinguishes the neighborhood and the group is that the name of its first fan group is 1453, the date of the Fall of Constantinople. Among the directors are Erdo Μεan's government minister Mehmet Ersoy, while health minister Farettin Koca is the founder of a major donor medical company.
