Dear Beşiktaş JK Fans,

With all its disappointments and triumphs, we are leaving another challenging year behind and entering a new one with fresh hopes and aspirations. The experience we have gathered in the field of club management and sports over the past year promises that the year of 2015 will be the year of Beşiktaş JK.

In 2015, the Turkish sports community will bear witness to the opening of Vodafone Arena, the home of Beşiktaş football team and Turkey’s first smart stadium. The new shrine of your Black Eagles will not only take the club into a new era but also help the Turkish football move forward. Being part of such a landmark achievement has been a great source pride, which we will carry with us for the rest of our lives.

Furthermore, you can expect new successes from your favourite club’s teams in the coming year. While our men’s football team have advanced in the UEFA Europa League as group leaders and currently sit at the top of Turkish Super League, both Beşiktaş JK men’s and women’s basketball teams have qualified for the next round of their respective European tournaments. I offer my warmest congratulations to their players and coaches. You can be sure that, from handball to wheelchair basketball, from boxing to athletics, all Beşiktaş JK teams will continue to keep our flag flying high in 2015.

During the past year, Beşiktaş have signed a series of sponsorship deals with the blue-chip companies. If we maintain our present course, their numbers will definitely rise in the next year, providing a steady source of income for our club.

On behalf of my colleagues on the Executive Board and myself, I wish our teams, business partners, and of course, all of you a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.

Fikret Orman
Executive Chairman
Beşiktaş J.K.
