Serdal Adali becomes Besiktas’s new president, winning a record 8,901 votes. Leadership change follows Hasan Arat's resignation over poor team results.
Istanbul’s Besiktas sports club has elected Serdal Adali as its new president.

This leadership change comes after Hasan Arat stepped down as president last month due to the team's disappointing performance.
Arat, 65, had been elected to the position in December 2023 during an extraordinary general assembly.
