ERDEN TİMUR: “AN HONORABLE AGREEMENT”

Erden Timur, Vice President of Galatasaray Sportif A.Ş., said, “Today is also a very nice day for me; because when we first had the chest sponsorship during President Dursun’s term, I had walked onto the field from the tunnel. I had a classmate with me at that time. It was a very different feeling. That’s why I know what every Galatasaray fan feels when they come here. Rams is truly one of the best companies in Kazakhstan. Then they shifted their investments to Türkiye. They invest in many sectors. I think this partnership will add value to Galatasaray. Our President mentioned yesterday. We have very serious sponsorship initiatives. In this respect, the most important goal for us is financial sustainability. Therefore, besides the funds to be provided through various projects, the most important thing is sponsorship income. In this sense, the completion of the stadium naming sponsorship with such an important collaboration for 5 years is meaningful and proud for us. I would like to thank everyone who contributed to this agreement. We express our thanks to Rams family, Mr. Devran, Mr. Faruk, and Mr. Ramazan.”
