Talk:Turkish Football Federation

Comment

So what is the correct English name of TFF?

FIFA (http://fifa.com/en/organisation/confederations/associationdetails/0,,TUR,00.html?countrycode=TUR) just gives the Turkish name: Türkiye Futbol Federasyonu, which direct translation, if I am correct, is Turkey Football Federation. But UEFA (http://www.uefa.com/footballcentral/directory/country=TUR/Association=135/index.html) and TFF (http://www.tff.org/ENGLISH/tff_indexing.htm) both have Turkish Football Association, but it's obvious that "Federation" is a more apporpriate word here.

In English, Turkey Football Federation does not sound right; the country name should be made into an ajective, and that is probably why the TTF translates its name into English as such. Therfore, Turkish Football Federation makes most sense to me.

Turkish Super League

I nominated the article of Turkish Super League to be the next article to be upgraded by the Wikipedia community. Please go to this page and vote for our league. We need at least 3 votes to win![1].Haydi Beyler, Deliogul 22:35, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Turkish Football Federation's Logo is incorrect.

The logo used/shown on the page was the old logo. The official logo of TFF has changed a few times since that old one. The newest Logo is as; http://brandsoftheworld.com//brands/0015/1707/brand.gif or as shown in the official web site: www.tff.org.

Thus, the full name was used as Turkish Football Associaton but with the new logo; both Turkish and English names used officially as part of the logo as Turkiye Futbol Federasyonu / Turkish Football Federation.

Btw, the "external links" part directs to an old page that is no more exist as the official site... The "English" version of the site is no more active, the website is newly re-designed.

Controversial denial of former national championships

About the page, the whole section is totaly biased head to toe. It should tell the process of what is happening but instead it tells teh story from one side. How can anyone said it is not biased, because of sources? All of the sources are discreditable sources, especially the newspapers.

I just want to make unbiased, not one point of view, you can understand it I hope. — Preceding unsigned comment added by UniqueHornClub (talk • contribs) 19:33, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

The former championships were both held by this federation and now not acknowledged. This is an unparalelled case of denial, since it was this very same federation which held them officially. At least a few clubs are robbed of their titles and protest this denial. That's what makes it controversial in the first place. What exactly is biased? The denial part? It's a simple fact. And it's also a simple fact that a part of the public asks the federation to stop with the denial. So please stop your edit war and the removal of sourced content.

Fenerbahçe did not formally raise this issue until the presidency of Ali Koç. The Süper Lig was officially established in 1959, and there is no significant controversy regarding this starting date. Archromeo (talk) 21:53, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

The TFF was founded in 1923 and football was also played before 1959. 176.7.140.197 (talk) 23:40, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

OK Ali Koç. Archromeo (talk) 08:15, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

Bundesliga founded at 1963, so before that Germans were not playing football I guess. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundesliga Archromeo (talk) 08:17, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

You're talking nonsense.

If you say so Ali Koç. You can find more amateur league championships if you dig deep. I guess they must be hiding next to official Fenerbahçe kit featuring four stars. Archromeo (talk) 12:52, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for your comment. Guys Start noticing what crazy stuff you're saying. 176.7.138.46 (talk) 13:24, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

Fenerbahçe remains officially referenced in UEFA documentation related to match-fixing decisions. The club initially filed a legal case against UEFA but later withdrew it. These events are documented in official sources and form part of the public record. As such, describing them as conspiracies contradicts the available evidence but I am telling crazy things. Wow, you need a reality check and find a kit featuring four stars. Archromeo (talk) 14:10, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

Strange stuff again, what does one topic have to do with the other? 176.7.138.46 (talk) 14:38, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

Please refrain from altering the subtitles in a misleading way. Referring to documented and officially confirmed events, such as Fenerbahçe being barred from European competitions and later withdrawing their legal case as a "conspiracy" undermines the factual basis of those decisions. These are matters of public record. The Süper Lig was officially established in 1959, which is the recognized starting point for league championship counts by the Turkish Football Federation. Claims outside this framework remain speculative and are not officially acknowledged. Archromeo (talk) 12:13, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

Süper Lig started at 1959 as Bundesliga started at 1963. I am not sure why this is so hard to grasp. Archromeo (talk) 08:18, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

There is no official Fenerbahçe kit featuring four stars to represent 20 Süper Lig championships, as the club has not officially reached that milestone under the Turkish Football Federation's (TFF) recognized league format, which began in 1959. The debate over pre-1959 national titles was brought forward during the presidency of Ali Koç, with Fenerbahçe advocating for the recognition of championships won before the Süper Lig era. However, these earlier titles are not currently acknowledged in the official star system by the TFF, and there is no widely accepted historical consensus supporting their equivalence to post-1959 league championships. Archromeo (talk) 08:23, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

As you are a Fenerbahçe Member, which you mention on your Turkish Wikipedia page, you are biased and you wanted to make your clubs propaganda as something "fact", which is not. The fact that, you can easily say to 10 day tournament as "championship" and counting them as champion and at the same time you are counting a tournament which is happening in same year with that 10 day championship, which Fenerbahçe plays both of them and you can count both of them legit, makes your argument purely propaganda... I know that I'm not that good editor as you, I'm going to lose that battle because you know the editing rules better than me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by UniqueHornClub (talk • contribs) 16:31, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Why Ali Koç's personal vendatta is in the main page? Again, Fenerbahçe did not formally raise this issue until the presidency of Ali Koç. The Süper Lig was officially established in 1959, and there is no significant controversy regarding this starting date. Archromeo (talk) 21:56, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

Match fixing scandal.

Fenerbahçe remains listed in UEFA's official documentation regarding the 2011–12 Champions League case. The club initially pursued legal action against UEFA but later withdrew its case. Fenerbahçe president Aziz Yıldırım has made multiple public statements acknowledging aspects of wrongdoing. Given its scale and long-term impact, the 2011 match-fixing scandal remains one of the most significant and controversial events in Turkish football history.

It is reproduced one-sidedly by Archromeo! 176.7.138.46 (talk) 14:42, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

Reproduced what? Did Fenerbahçe get 2-years ban or not? Yes, Fenerbahçe got 2-years ban due to match-fixing.

Did they withdraw their case or not? Yes, they did withdraw because of the potential reparations. Stop referring random youtube videos, or Erdoğan government's news agencies please. No need to embarrass yourself more. Archromeo (talk) 07:45, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

Are you reading your own reference?

Quote "Under such circumstances, it would come as little surprise if at least some of the match-fixing allegations are true. But one of the main reasons for the suspicions about the current investigation is the selectivity. " Fenerbahçe did match-fixing in 2011, Aziz Yıldırım admitted his wrongdoings. Your own reference admits the wrongdoings. It is an objective truth to write these facts. So please back off. Archromeo (talk) 08:33, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
