At Beşiktaş Club’s extraordinary elective general assembly, incumbent president Serdal Adalı, the sole candidate, was re-elected president after receiving 3 thousand 815 of the 3 thousand 910 votes cast across 20 ballot boxes. A total of 58 blank and 37 invalid votes were cast. Adalı and the board of directors will serve until May 2028.
- Full members: Murat Kılıç, Uğur Fora, Leman Özgür Rodoplu, Mithat Görkem Aksoy, Aykan Aydın, Mete Düren, Orhan Özalp, Özkan Arseven, Mehmet Sarımermer and Arslan Küçükemre.
- Alternate members: Toygun Batallı, Üzeyir Engin, Cengiz Sarıkaya, İpek Gençer Yağcı and Ziya Fırat Gültekin.
Minister of Youth and Sports Osman Aşkın Bak congratulated Adalı and the board of directors.
Why it matters
Serdal Adalı’s new term, extending until May 2028, means that responsibility for Beşiktaş’s administration will continue under the same president and management team. The fact that the vast majority of votes in the single-candidate election went to Adalı shows that the general assembly gave strong backing to the current management approach. The appointment of full and alternate members clarifies which team will share responsibilities in the club’s decision-making and executive processes. Minister of Youth and Sports Osman Aşkın Bak’s congratulations show that the election’s outcome has resonated not only within the club but also at the level of sports administration. However, the available information does not include details on which priorities the new management will pursue until May 2028 or how it will meet the expectations of the members.
