Beşiktaş's Request for a Foreign Referee

Following this decision, Beşiktaş issued an official statement expressing strong opposition and called for the resignation of the federation officials. In the continuation of these objections, the invitation of Urs Meier can be considered both a symbolic and protest action.

According to the official announcement, Urs Meier is scheduled to arrive in Istanbul this evening to prepare for his presence at the match.

The invitation of Urs Meier can be considered an indirect and symbolic response to the decision of the Turkish Football Federation not to assign a foreign referee for the derby.
