Ali Koç Shared His Opinions on Electronic Sports!

Fenerbahçe Sports Club President Ali Koç made important statements about the esports scene, esports branch and future plans.

With the esports scene reaching new heights, many sports clubs started to invest in this field and we witnessed many clubs opening esports branches. However, the system is different in Fenerbahçe Sports Club. Managed by the 1907 Fenerbahçe Association, 1907 Fenerbahçe Esports is also an area that the sports club is closely following.

Ali Koç, who recently made statements about the agenda and the club in a program he attended at Habertürk, also expressed his thoughts on the esports scene and esports branch. Unfortunately, there are many people today who do not believe in the esports scene and think that it is not a sport. While we respect such opinions, we think that people should not close their eyes and ears to esports anymore. Esports is not just about computer addiction or hours spent in front of the computer, and people who are not aware of this can have such thoughts. We can say that Ali Koç is one of many people who have this idea. Now, let’s take a look at the headlines about esports that Ali Koç included in the program:

I say esports unfortunately, unfortunately, because sitting in front of the computer for hours, for me it is not exactly sports, but its name is esports. But there are such esports tournaments that 500-600 million people watch their finals live. When you look at the cash prizes they have won from the beginning of the esports tournaments in the world to this period, it has come to be equivalent to the major tournaments followed in the world, such as Wimbledon or some football tournaments. More importantly, it is a huge area of interest for future fans. There’s no escape from it.

Ali Koç: “Fenerbahçe will ask for permission!”

When you look at it, many sports clubs in Europe are investing in this direction. This is an indisputable fact. As Fenerbahçe Sports Club, the seeds of these were already planted when we were under the management of the 1907 association. Thanks to the 1907 Fenerbahçe Association for they continued this. We will now ask the general assembly’s permission to do this within the body of Fenerbahçe Sports Club. Does it bring a financial burden? It is very interesting that because of the facts I just told, it has become one of the areas where sponsors can be found easily. When we look at our esports team, in which 1907 carries out its activities today, it is by no means an area that has financial difficulties.

Let’s end our news by saying that we wish Ali Koç, the esteemed president of Fenerbahçe Sports Club, to realize that esports is a sport and not to look at the esports scene only with a material/financial eye.
