Yıldırım Demirören

Demiören Holding has been growing in parallel with Turkey's growth, the holding's chairman Yıldırım Demirören has said.

Employing the video assistant referee (VAR) in Turkish football in the upcoming season aims to reduce incorrect referee decisions during games, Turkish Football Federation President Yıldırım Demirören said on Aug. 1.

Turkish Football Federation (TFF) chair Yıldırım Demirören has voiced support for Turkish-German star Mesut Özil, who has retired from the German national team.

Yıldırım Demirören was elected as the board chairman of Hürriyet Gazetecilik as the successor of Erdoğan Demirören, who passed away at the age of 80 on June 8.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s meeting with Germany’s two top footballers was an “ordinary” one, Turkish Football Federation (TFF) chair Yıldırım Demirören has said, reacting to German Football Federation (DFB) president Reinhard Grindel’s criticism about the meeting.

AFP - Turkey's football chief Tuesday condemned as "slanderous" and "unacceptable" German criticism of a meeting between top players of Turkish origin in Britain's Premier League and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Germany internationals Mesut Ozil of Arsenal and Ilkay Gundogan of Manchester City, both of Turkish origin, met Erdogan late Sunday during his three-day visit to Britain.

Turkey and Barcelona midfielder Arda Turan on Aug. 11 said he was ready to return to national team duty, two months after announcing his retirement from international football following a bust-up with former coach Fatih Terim.

Turan, Turkey's captain, had in June been thrown out of a training camp by Terim following a fracas with a reporter on a plane.
