Fenerbahçe and Acıbadem Sağlık Grubu have signed a sponsorship agreement. According to the agreement, the Acıbadem logo will appear on the jersey sleeves of the yellow and blue team for the 2026–27 season. Speaking at the signing ceremony, club president Sadettin Saran said, "What is important at Fenerbahçe is always the club's interests and common goals. We began discussions about suitable placement on our jerseys with Acıbadem early this year. Mr. Mehmet Ali Aydınlar demonstrated his willingness to stand by Fenerbahçe from the moment we first shared this idea. This agreement is the result of a process that has been planned for a long time."
AYDINLAR: WE WILL ALWAYS BE BY THE CLUB'S SIDE
Aydınlar, whose name has been mentioned among potential presidential candidates ahead of the extraordinary general assembly to be held on June 6-7, commented on the sponsorship deal: "I have never seen supporting Fenerbahçe as just a sponsorship. I believe this ownership, responsibility, and walking together towards the same goal is a natural part of it. When it comes to Fenerbahçe, Acıbadem's stance and responsibility have never been in question. We will continue to stand by Fenerbahçe, as we did yesterday, today, and tomorrow."
WE WILL SUPPORT THOSE WHO FOLLOW US
Saran, speaking at the celebration for the women's team's Süper Lig championship, said that the club's interests were the basis for their election decision: "If we win another trophy, we will be the administration with the most trophies. Time has passed quickly. We have formed a great team and worked day and night. No one is leaving as Sadettinci. We are leaving for Fenerbahçe, and we will support those who follow us."
This sponsorship deal shows how business and football go hand-in-hand. But will Aydınlar's political aspirations affect Fenerbahçe's future? Let’s hope not, as the club deserves to stand on its own. What do you think about Aydınlar's involvement?
