Pınar Karşıyaka President Turgay Büyükkarcı, who established a very ambitious team with the aim of becoming the champion in the FIBA Champions League, which played the final last year in Europe this season, said that they were affected by the volatility in the exchange rates. In Karşıyaka, which transferred a total of 7 star foreigners during the season, Büyükkarcı made a statement to a basketball portal and asked the state to support basketball teams in the face of the exchange rate increase.
Turgay Büyükkarcı said, “Our basketball has come to good places in the last 10 years, clubs have won European championships,” said Turgay Büyükkarcı, “While it is in better shape than in any team sport, while basketball is the second branch of Turkey, it has left football far behind in terms of European successes, and the increase in the exchange rate has caused a great collapse in our basketball. He will bring it,” he said.
Turgay Büyükkarcı said, “Relegation from the league is not a solution either, because most of Turkey’s clubs will not be able to transfer foreigners due to their files in the BAT (Basketball Arbitration Court), which will affect the brand value of the league, sponsor and TV revenues will decrease. We cannot go out of Edirne,” he said.
