Konyaspor's Technical Director İlhan Palut has expressed his happiness and determination ahead of the final match. Palut conveyed, "I want this for my team's efforts... I also feel the desire and longing of our city and community for this, and I want it for that reason too." The 49-year-old coach emphasized that they have completed their preparations and are aware of how to play. He added, "We understand that no match is won solely by defense or offense. We know that we must first compete well and play with concentration for 90 minutes. We will compete against a strong rival. I hope we can finish the match fairly, without leaving anything in the minds of the winner and the loser."

Commitment to the Team

Konyaspor's captain, Adil Demirbağ, stated, "At the beginning of the season, during the camp process, we promised each other to play for Europe. We want to keep the promise we made to ourselves. I want to play as a pair and win the cup." This commitment reflects the team's unity and determination.

I hope we have a match where everyone is talking about football and the referee is not talking, inshallah. Trabzonspor wants to gift this cup to our community. I hope it will happen as we wish."

Trabzonspor's captain, Savic, added, "A tough match awaits us. But we came here very well-prepared. We want to win the cup for our fans. Being able to play this match makes me happy. When I came to Trabzonspor, I was aware that I would be able to play such finals."
