[00:02:44] me upon
[00:02:45] of months, no storing has been left untold,
[00:02:49] information has been forced from the darkest,
[00:02:53] the truth is coming to life, this is one story that will
[00:02:57] in touch in millions of people,
[00:03:18] Hello, I'm Charlotte Babes and
[00:03:20] of in welcome to Scoreline, your one stop shop for all the sporting action
[00:03:22] of the weekend. In this special edition, we're gonna look at how FIFA
[00:03:26] president, Gianni
[00:03:27] in Infantino
[00:03:28] a did his
[00:03:29] in best, Ichorus impression. and it hasn't even been a month since the most
[00:03:33] lucrative world cup in history and the boss of world football already
[00:03:36] had more money on his mind. Infantina pushed his money making
[00:03:40] plans a bridge too
[00:03:42] of far and a bit too soon maybe which in turn looks like it could make
[00:03:46] of his house of football cards come crumbling down. Join us as
[00:03:50] we impack how we got there, what FIFA's future holds, and if there's
[00:03:54] a way for the beautiful game to print more cash in perhaps more
[00:03:57] ethical ways.
[00:04:00] of "and now if he wants to retain his position, he's got to
[00:04:03] a start a the repair work that would be done by the damage to what I can
[00:04:07] only describe as lidocrous
[00:04:09] suggestion.
[00:04:16] of what of do Yani Infantino, the man who
[00:04:18] of everyone has been speaking about for the last few weeks and not for good
[00:04:21] reasons, the current FIFA boss announcer a controversial plan to sell off a
[00:04:25] portion
[00:04:26] of the world cup. that plan was not well received and led to
[00:04:30] a massive outcry for his regionation. Erkankull has
[00:04:33] more. In July 2026,
[00:04:37] FIFA held the final
[00:04:38] of their biggest ever World Cup. While Spain would claim the top prize in
[00:04:41] football, something bigger was being plotted
[00:04:43] of in the background. Two
[00:04:45] in weeks later, FIFA president Gianni
[00:04:48] in Infantino in a proposed to
[00:04:48] in sell off 20%
[00:04:50] of their tournaments,
[00:04:51] of including the World Cup. To a group of investors which had ties to the US
[00:04:55] president
[00:04:56] of Donald
[00:04:58] of Trump. Well, FIFA 4 price or
[00:05:01] FFE is uh actually a
[00:05:04] proposal, an offer, it's part of
[00:05:08] a democratic process, a consultation
[00:05:11] process. um, and above all, it is an
[00:05:15] opportunity, but not an
[00:05:18] obligation, cue immediate
[00:05:21] backlash. UEFA almost instantly announced that they would not
[00:05:25] participate any FIFA event until the proposed FIFA forward
[00:05:28] enterprise plan was scrapped. Concercaff and the
[00:05:32] AFC for loadsuit, falling short of joining a
[00:05:35] boycott, and the confederations won't the only ones voicing
[00:05:39] concerns. I didn't play. lot
[00:05:42] of decision of FIFA in the last couple of
[00:05:46] years. Luco, football for sure is for for the people, for the
[00:05:50] fans, no doubt. The way
[00:05:52] we we love it is is this way and we have seen a great world cup and
[00:05:56] and something that they stay the same way, it's it's good so to
[00:05:59] defend the interest from all the people. In short, with
[00:06:03] infantino lacking the votes, FIFA scrapped the whole
[00:06:06] thing, but the domino effect, which saw many the top football
[00:06:10] associations withdraw support until... resigns had already
[00:06:14] started, if you look at what the other, the
[00:06:18] two presidents before, infantina, avalanch and
[00:06:22] blatter started in different in different ways
[00:06:26] trying to be
[00:06:28] managing fifa like dictatorship,
[00:06:32] it's just gone to another level now, i
[00:06:35] think, no backing from the world's biggest footballing bodies
[00:06:39] and potential legal ramifications means the clock
[00:06:43] is ticking for football's head honcho, which could paint very different
[00:06:47] picture of Infantino's rain, one where in the span of 10
[00:06:50] years he went from stating that he wanted to leave a positive
[00:06:54] everlasting message to being accused of selling football
[00:06:57] soul. Erking Kuble, TRT
[00:07:00] World. Okay, so
[00:07:04] with FIFA President Infantino officially in the hot seat, even though he
[00:07:08] scrapped the whole commercial enterprise idea, the next question of course
[00:07:12] is: 'if he gets austed or doesn't get support, who could replace
[00:07:16] him? and there are few names being floated around. for starters,
[00:07:20] there's UFA President Alexander Chefferen, the boss the sports European
[00:07:23] governing body, he's been the most vocal about Infantino's plan.
[00:07:27] remember he convince all 55 of his member states to say they
[00:07:31] boycot FIFA. the wafer also sent a legal letter to the world
[00:07:35] football body. then we have conquer cap chief Victor
[00:07:39] Montaliangi who didn't use the b word but was
[00:07:42] also against bringing outside money. AFC
[00:07:45] president, Salmon bin Ibrahim Al- Khalifa, the
[00:07:49] senior vice president the FIFA Council, could replace Inventino
[00:07:53] as well. And then the most interesting name, if you ask
[00:07:57] a somewhat outsider in all of this, Paris Saint-Germain
[00:08:00] Boss, Nasa Al Khalifi, the Qatari executive,
[00:08:04] reportedly gaining support to become a candidate at the next FIFA
[00:08:08] Congress in March, but whoever steps up next, according to
[00:08:11] political... It's going to be
[00:08:15] lot of work, I mean
[00:08:19] infantino himself is just
[00:08:21] I think replicating the environment we live in today where I guess corruption's happening out in
[00:08:25] the open, he's tried to budy up to President Trump and he probably seen you know
[00:08:29] how uh the white house has been used to make money a way that's never happened
[00:08:33] before and thought he would get his fingers in that pie, so maybe maybe
[00:08:37] getting rid of him would make it happen at less of a a
[00:08:40] public uh a public life. but honestly at this point I think we need
[00:08:44] to question the entire FIFA leadership, there's got to be questions asked about even
[00:08:48] people who've criticized him and and frankly didn't know about this plan like Kevin Lemurre who
[00:08:52] went out there and said I didn't know about this, I wasn't told and I we actually
[00:08:56] people believe that because infantino definitely did this by himself with the
[00:09:00] cushioners with Trump uh allies to try and sell off
[00:09:04] football like you your introduction uh so eloquently put,
[00:09:07] but what's really interesting to me with the recent accusations from
[00:09:11] people like prince. you now
[00:09:13] uh the the brother to the king of Jordan who basically said
[00:09:17] Infantino has blackmailed him and won't give him his uh the money that was oh
[00:09:21] Jordan and resolve any issues with the US unless he
[00:09:25] voted for Infantino
[00:09:26] The question you got to ask is how many other FAs have been in this situation who've
[00:09:30] also either folded
[00:09:32] or who haven't made that decision yet been blackmailed by the president and this isn't
[00:09:35] stuff that is selling off football this is day-to-day
[00:09:39] fifa operations so the question about why Kevin la would still
[00:09:43] stay there, why would the GC still they stay there? why will the general, why will
[00:09:47] other leaders still stay there? well, maybe they're all complicit in his other
[00:09:50] crimes at FIFA, and honestly this is an opportunity for world
[00:09:54] football to possibly abolish FIFA as it exists today, like
[00:09:58] UWF I give you an example, UEFA haven't used their big tool
[00:10:02] yet, when Jani Infantino was the president of UEFA, he
[00:10:05] designed a plan for UEFA to exit FIFA and
[00:10:09] hold it for ransom, well guess what, he became the FIFA president
[00:10:13] shells that plan and now Alexander Seffron is
[00:10:17] potentially going to use that against him and in that plan there's a way to work with
[00:10:21] other confederations to design a world cup that does not involve. the
[00:10:25] organization that is FIFA and if he doesn't resign and if
[00:10:28] leadership doesn't take the appropriate steps to make permanent
[00:10:31] reforms, that plan should be used and we should abolish FIFA as it
[00:10:35] exists today. let me be really clear here, right? this
[00:10:39] president not only is like tried to sell off the game. there's been a lot of
[00:10:42] controversy about his behavior at the last world cup, not
[00:10:46] caring about visas for people from the global south, from countries that are
[00:10:49] on let's say the not on the US's friendly side, the treatment of
[00:10:53] football team a football team, whatever your politics are, it's a football
[00:10:57] team to the point where right-wing media in Europe were up in arms about the treatment
[00:11:01] of Iran and its players, right? this guy could have done something about
[00:11:05] it. this guy also bent the rules, broke the rules by allowing a
[00:11:09] US red card to be overrull, and i would say
[00:11:12] you know lot of people out
[00:11:13] there if this man is finally red carded will not miss him and will be saying
[00:11:17] overturn that mate. now not to play
[00:11:21] devil's advocate, but infantina's desired to build football help it. go to
[00:11:25] bigger and better things isn't anything new, and if we take a look
[00:11:29] at his previous big changes, they have succeeded.
[00:11:33] It's kind of forgotten, football has changed lot under Infantino, the
[00:11:37] five subs sing the most recent time wasting protocols and of
[00:11:41] course introduction of a hydration break. Like it or
[00:11:44] hate video assistant referee, it happened under the Swiss
[00:11:48] executive, as did the semi-automated offside
[00:11:51] Technology, and not to bury the lead, but
[00:11:55] Fertino saw over the expansion of competitions like the most recent
[00:11:59] men's world cup. The club World Cup became a 32 team
[00:12:02] affair and he made the Women's World Cup go from 24
[00:12:06] sides to 32 as well. They've all been successful so
[00:12:10] far. And get this, the trend of making
[00:12:14] competitions bigger and better might continue for the 100th
[00:12:18] anniversary the men's World Cup. Because back
[00:12:21] a match 2025 FIFA Council.
[00:12:25] meeting combable, the confederation in South America proposed
[00:12:29] a 64 team addition for the 2030 tournament. Since
[00:12:33] then, traction has been gaining for that to be the case.
[00:12:36] Look at this announcement from Commonable president Alejandro
[00:12:40] Domiguez on July the 20th, which hasn't been confirmed by
[00:12:44] FIFA, and we asked TRT World Sports correspondent at Lance
[00:12:48] Santos, how much the revenue can be like for
[00:12:51] the 2026 tournament?
[00:12:55] ball was even kicked at this football world cup. FIFA
[00:12:59] led by Gianny Infantino made it abundantly clear to
[00:13:03] anyone wanting to go to this World Cup that the fans interests were
[00:13:06] not at heart. Now when I say this, I'm talking immediately
[00:13:10] about the scourge and ticket prices. Yes, Infantino
[00:13:14] made his millions, perhaps billions, uh, but fans were pushed to
[00:13:18] new level, and this was a game, this was a competition that was just for
[00:13:22] the rich really, because it was recorded. breaking
[00:13:26] revenues that would have transpired into costing the fans, the fans were
[00:13:30] simply seen as a cash count, i make no mistake about it
[00:13:33] teller fifa sold football soul long ago, but
[00:13:37] this american world cup was not just about making
[00:13:41] money, it was about with Gianny Infantino and FIFA swimming
[00:13:45] in dollar bills, the greed reached new heights, now
[00:13:48] when you look at what happened to the fans of course they were charged
[00:13:52] extortionate amounts of money to attend. those fans
[00:13:56] that were given visas. I remember it was very difficult from
[00:14:00] fans from certain countries and certain locations to get
[00:14:03] visas if at all, referees were sent home
[00:14:07] because Donald Trump didn't like them, gianny enfantino didn't do
[00:14:10] anything about that. And when you look at the cost
[00:14:14] around going to this World Cup, you asked me, were the fans interest
[00:14:18] in at heart? Absolutely not. With the tickets as well, FIFA
[00:14:22] decided that they would become a black market. FIFA. became the middleman, so
[00:14:26] if I bought a ticket for $1,00 and decided that I didn't want it
[00:14:30] anymore, and then I went and sold it for $10,000, FIFA took
[00:14:33] a cut from me and if I sold it to you, FIFA took a cut from that too, they
[00:14:37] were the black market, it didn't end there of course, all sorts
[00:14:41] of transportation issues were hiked up 10 times, uh trains to the
[00:14:45] New York stadium were over $100, they're usually $10
[00:14:49] and never mind the prices at the stadium, so of course the fans interests
[00:14:53] weren't at heart here and for a... the atmospheres as well, you had better
[00:14:57] atmosphere outside, let me give you an example uh, when Argentina played, they
[00:15:01] have thousands and thousands of loyal fans from uh from from
[00:15:05] back home coming out to watch them, I would say that on the game, the
[00:15:08] night before their game, they gathered a park, they had assado, a barbecue
[00:15:12] and they sang all night, of those fans around 60%
[00:15:16] them didn't have tickets, they couldn't afford it, they they made their way to the
[00:15:20] US and they were just there to be part the experience,
[00:15:24] they could not... afford the thousands of dollars that it takes to
[00:15:28] attend the game, so those are the fans we're talking about, those are the real
[00:15:32] fans, the football stadiums used to be and so often in leagues around the
[00:15:36] world from Germany to the... premier league all across Europe, in South
[00:15:39] America, that's the Mecca, that's where you find the real fans and that
[00:15:43] atmosphere was a bit more linked in uh than it
[00:15:46] was uh one of those incredible European and South American
[00:15:50] or Turkish football stadiums, the fans interests weren't at heart,
[00:15:54] no and that's all your sport updates for now, thanks for
[00:15:57] watching and see you next
[00:15:58] time.
[00:16:59] It's time for debrief, your quick wrap-up of TRT World's
[00:17:03] top stories from the
[00:17:12] is carrying out demolitions
[00:17:13] of
[00:17:18] okay, well it's become a familiar pattern over the
[00:17:22] past few months, the US president threatens a large scale attack on
[00:17:26] Iran, then calls it off while placing conditions on the
[00:17:30] pores, when when president Trump says
[00:17:32] that they will use forces that that's not been used
[00:17:36] since the... second world war, it means using a nuclear
[00:17:40] bomb against Iran, and this is a catastrophic kind of political
[00:17:44] kind of consequences for the United States and the international community.
[00:17:48] President Donald Trump says the US and Iran are talking and this is the
[00:17:52] last chance for Teran to sign a good deal. I want to give him every
[00:17:56] last chance before decapitation. We defend our own
[00:17:59] boundaries, but we are not seeking to expand the war or
[00:18:03] prolong the fighting. Instead, we must build a strong and
[00:18:06] resilient. Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson said that
[00:18:10] discussions were ongoing with Muscat on creating a new shipping route through
[00:18:14] the straight of hormoos. The framework agreement for commercial shipping through the
[00:18:18] straight of hormoz is being hammered out between Iran and
[00:18:21] Oman. These fundamental agreements with Oman have been mostly
[00:18:25] completed, meaning we have made significant progress in our
[00:18:28] discussions with Oman, and this progress is on the verge of being
[00:18:32] finalized. Officials have reached an understanding on the geographic
[00:18:36] coordinates. that would define shipping routes through the strategic
[00:18:40] waterway, the fact that the Iran-US negotiations have not yet reached
[00:18:44] a conclusion is affecting the international community focus on
[00:18:47] Gaza, but we continue to keep our attention on Gaza. In
[00:18:51] Gaza, at least 11 people have been killed and several others
[00:18:55] wounded following Israeli attacks. Air strikes hit
[00:18:59] southern, central and northern parts of Gaza, they are lying to us. Do you
[00:19:03] want to know what's actually happening? This is six-month-old baby.
[00:19:07] killed in his mother's room. now Palestinians in Gaza have laid
[00:19:11] to rest 112 victims in what is the largest
[00:19:15] funeral in Palestinian history. The remains of
[00:19:18] 112 members the Abu Shariah and Al Hasana
[00:19:22] families lay side by side. They were killed nearly three
[00:19:26] years ago. Trump's post about the second phase and President
[00:19:30] Trump and his support for this plan through the post that he
[00:19:34] published during the past few days places full respect. responsibility
[00:19:38] lies on the Israel side reversal of what was meant to be
[00:19:41] simultaneous process
[00:19:44] explains, Israel wants to exclude Turkey and Qatar from the
[00:19:48] monitoring committee and continue its assassination campaign. The board
[00:19:52] of peace has backtracked. We will not withdraw from our current
[00:19:55] lines until Hamas is completely disarmed. The
[00:19:59] Ugandan Parliament's approved deployment of troops to Gaza. This is part of an
[00:20:03] international stabilization mission. It comes after a direct request from
[00:20:07] US president Donald Trump, this force has to be neutral
[00:20:11] force, according to humanitarian law, they need not take
[00:20:14] any sides and they will act according to that law and
[00:20:18] not take sides and interfere with any the war that is taking
[00:20:22] place there. Another news, Israeli forces continue to storm the
[00:20:26] calandia refugee camp in the occupied west bank and Israeli forces sent
[00:20:29] reinforcements into the refugee camp. Local media reported Israeli
[00:20:33] army distributing leaflets that said a large scale raid was being.
[00:20:37] carried out in the camp, they fired stun grenades directly
[00:20:41] at the journalists and barred them from covering, so it's very
[00:20:45] difficult to get picture of what's happening inside, but what we've been seeing
[00:20:49] are ' arrests and we aren't even able to get
[00:20:53] into the camp, what we know from people inside is that they
[00:20:56] are destroying and vandalizing the contents of homes,
[00:21:00] they are carrying out mass interrogations. on the eve the last day of talks in
[00:21:04] Rome, this was the scene in southern Lebanon, the town of Burja Shamali was
[00:21:07] hit by massive Israeli strikes, injuring over dozen
[00:21:11] Lebaneses. Thursday morning, news stands were peppered with both
[00:21:14] headlines, talks in Rome meant to bring peace, and the strikes on
[00:21:18] southern Lebanon bringing any. nothing but these are the latest
[00:21:22] Iranian backed houti attacks in Saudi Arabia's
[00:21:25] southern nazran region it comes days after the Iran
[00:21:29] alliant Houti said that they fired drones at the
[00:21:33] Nazran airport over the border in central Yemen dozens of
[00:21:37] Yemeni government soldiers have been killed on Thursday after the
[00:21:41] hooti struck several military camps in the Marib and eastern
[00:21:45] Hudra mount provinces Turkia Saudi Arabia and

[00:22:22] Here's the news in brief where we bring you even more top
[00:22:25] stories. The fighting between
[00:22:29] Russia and Ukraine continues with both sides carrying out
[00:22:32] long-range strikes across borders this week, killing
[00:22:36] dozens. Russia says it hit Ukrainian ports and military
[00:22:40] cargo in the black sea, while Ukraine has increasingly turned
[00:22:43] its attention to Russia's logistics network, and the one bearing
[00:22:47] the brunt the latest escalation is. the Russian e-commerce giant wall
[00:22:51] berries and the small businesses selling their goods
[00:22:55] there. We are lucky that we stored only a small
[00:22:59] share of our goods at marketplace warehouses. Those who had 80
[00:23:03] to 90% their goods destroyed and bought that inventory with
[00:23:06] borrowed money are in very difficult situation. A series of
[00:23:10] attacks this week targeted multiple wildberies facilities,
[00:23:14] but kiav's campaign on the company started in July. Ukraine
[00:23:18] says the online marketplace is... is aiding Moscow's war effort,
[00:23:22] something both wildberies and the Kremlin deny, yet the
[00:23:26] warehouse fires already cost the company billions and
[00:23:29] forced it to consider moving operations to Kazakhstan and
[00:23:33] Belarus. A weekon from one the largest mass migration

[00:24:12] Despite the overwhelmed infrastructure, Colm returned to
[00:24:15] Sayuda. As for the mainland and the EU, not so
[00:24:19] much. Following emergency talks in Brussels on Tuesday, the
[00:24:23] European Union said
[00:24:24] it is standing in full solidarity with Spain, but
[00:24:28] cracks remain underneath the surface. Spain is accusing summon the
[00:24:32] block of failing to support it after 22 countries questioned
[00:24:35] its handling the crisis. Madrid also fratten Italy on
[00:24:39] Friday with counter measures on travelers if Rome does not lift the

[00:24:51] party. Abdullah sayyad has defeated establishment backed
[00:24:55] Haley Stevens in Michigan's Democratic Senate Primary on
[00:24:58] Thursday. Setting up a November race critical to Democrats
[00:25:02] hopes of regaining control the chamber. The primary is
[00:25:06] became one the clearest tests yet the Democratic Party's
[00:25:09] internal divisions over sport for Israel. Michigan is
[00:25:13] home to one of America's largest Arab American communities where
[00:25:17] anger over the war in Gaza has reshaped. politics,
[00:25:21] despite millions of dollars spent by pro Israel groups
[00:25:24] backing students, warters chose allside instead.
[00:25:28] you're not supposed to be able to beat $70 million of outside
[00:25:31] spending, record amount of money spent a
[00:25:35] campaign against democrat a primary any
[00:25:39] campaign, you're not supposed to be able to beat that, and what we
[00:25:43] showed is that the power of our many is greater than the power
[00:25:46] their money, while sad will run against republican. Rogers
[00:25:50] in the midterms, if elected, he would become the first Muslim

[00:25:58] future of football's biggest tournament, FIFA president
[00:26:02] Fantino is in the hot sea, despite recently abandoning a
[00:26:06] controversial plan to sell part the world cup to private
[00:26:09] investors. Europe's governing body UEFA says it no
[00:26:13] longer has confidence in Infantino and threaten to boycott
[00:26:17] the World Cup again on Thursday. Wefa says the
[00:26:20] issue is beyond the proposal. It's about trust in
[00:26:24] FIFA's leadership. Cows for Infantino to step down
[00:26:28] ar growing, but despite the backlash, he still expected to
[00:26:32] see. another term as FIFA President next
[00:26:34] year, and here's a special TRT
[00:26:38] World Sports segment on Trapselsports new player. Now
[00:26:42] Turkish football just got a lot more exciting after former Liverpool star Mohamed
[00:26:46] Salah touchdown in Turkey wearing eight trabs on Sport
[00:26:49] shirt. After nine successful years in England where Celar became the top
[00:26:53] foreign scorer in Premier League history when the English title
[00:26:57] twice and even helped the rest the Champions League victory, he's now bought his
[00:27:01] talents. Egyptian signing two-year
[00:27:04] contract, reportedly get paid close to $20 million
[00:27:07] a year, and you'll get a 20% cut
[00:27:11] of all the football shirts, his football
[00:27:13] shirts.
[00:27:17] TLT will sports presenter tala Duman joins me
[00:27:19] now, unexpected,
[00:27:23] massive, kinda, yes, all the above, buse
[00:27:27] until last week, he was in talks to join Besiktash, the one the
[00:27:31] other big Istanbul. clubs, but it didn't happen, apparently there was a contract
[00:27:35] dispute, he wanted either more money or a bigger cut of
[00:27:39] jersey sales, and char gave him what he wanted, the money,
[00:27:43] 20 million a year, at first you know, i thought gosh, this is huge, but had a
[00:27:46] quick look online, it's not even in the top 15 salaries of football players around
[00:27:50] the world, so yes, but it's still big,
[00:27:53] one little cavi out though, while it is in the top 20, it's net, while
[00:27:56] the likes of mbappe are getting 35, 40 ish million dollar a year, they
[00:28:00] get taxed heavily in Spain, and so when you look at how much they
[00:28:04] uh get in in terms of net salary, it's quite close to
[00:28:08] what Muhammad salah is getting, and it's the similar situation with what Victor Oseman is
[00:28:12] getting over at Galatasaray as well, now Oseman in
[00:28:16] total is getting more money because of image rights and stuff like that, but what Muhammad Salah is
[00:28:20] getting right now or he's up to get is way more than
[00:28:24] any European club would have probably give given him, now obviously he's had
[00:28:27] fantastic career, I remember a couple of seasons back though at Liverpool, he sort of fell out
[00:28:31] with them because... 'yeah, he wasn't always starting,
[00:28:35] so you've just seen him in the world cup, does he still
[00:28:37] have it? that's a very good question, man uh, look, the way he played,
[00:28:41] i think signals how he could play at trzon spore, now we
[00:28:45] know muhammed salah to be that you know dominant le right winger,
[00:28:49] um, reaking havoc on defenses, you
[00:28:52] know uh, pulling the ball to the left, shooting, scoring, how he
[00:28:56] played with Egypt at the world cup was very different, it was more a Lionel
[00:29:00] Messi role where he didn't have to run that much, he was more of a creator, and
[00:29:04] I think with how Trobsonsport is set up, he could play that role and be quite
[00:29:08] successful cuz when you look at Turkish football, it's not as intense as
[00:29:11] Premier League football, I think we've only got a minute left, but I think there could be lot more eyeballs on
[00:29:15] Turkish football, it reminds me Paul Gascoin moving from England to Italy,
[00:29:19] suddenly all the domestic broadcasters wanted to show Italian football,
[00:29:22] I think I'm almost certain there'll now be Egyptian TV channels trying to get rights to the Turkey
[00:29:26] Super League, you you're 100% correct,
[00:29:28] and let's remember that Trobson, the the city itself, the black
[00:29:32] sea. region is very open to Arab tourists, they
[00:29:36] really like the greenery, the forest, you know, the weather, and so with
[00:29:40] arguably the Arab World's biggest football store joining Trobson spor, it's going
[00:29:43] to, you know, the economy is going to boom, no doubt, adding to what
[00:29:47] Tros want to do, they finished third last season, won the Turkish
[00:29:51] Cup.
