Fenerbahçe Club Presidential Candidate Hakan Safi has promised to build the most valuable and ambitious squad in the club’s history. Speaking at an event organized by the Denizci Fenerbahçeliler Derneği at Dalyan Club, Safi stated, "We will form the most valuable and ambitious squad in history, let there be no doubt in anyone's mind. Our path and vision are clear."

Safi, who faced criticism for his previous administrative role at Fenerbahçe, emphasized, "I tried to serve Fenerbahçe. They are trying to discredit me by saying I have money. I will prove that I am not just about money. I will spend money, but when I think about students who have to struggle for tickets and forms, it becomes a moral obligation for me. We will do whatever is necessary together. I know everyone is curious and waiting for names. When the time is right, we will explain this too. We have a strategy, we have spoken to many people and will continue to do so. I am benefiting greatly from my business experience. Just be patient, the time for everything will come. The best news I will give you is that we will build the most valuable and ambitious squad in history. Let there be no doubt in anyone’s mind. Our path and vision are clear. We are not interested in empty promises, and everyone will see how serious I am by the time of the congress."

Safi, who announced his unconditional candidacy for the presidency of his childhood beloved club, added, "Goals are good, but achieving them is even more important. Reaching the goal is only possible by saying ‘ask me anything’ to everyone, and everyone witnessing it. I say to Fenerbahçe, ‘ask me anything.’ Fenerbahçe doesn’t need or owe anything to anyone. We owe Fenerbahçe. Serving it is our honor. We need to be happy with it and worthy of it. I promise that no one, including me, will pretend to be a hero. No one will act like the owner of Fenerbahçe. We will all be at the service of Fenerbahçe. We have distanced ourselves from those who see themselves above this glorious club. We will fight for Fenerbahçe’s rights in every field with all our energy and excitement."

"We need to remember the club’s DNA," Safi concluded. "When it comes to Fenerbahçe, everyone should respect their teammates. We need to remember the DNA of this club. When it comes to Fenerbahçe, the waters flow for all of us."
