Trabzonspor President Ertuğrul Doğan published a message of thanks for the hospitality shown by Çaykur Rizespor President Ali Zeki Saruhan and the members of the board. In his message, Doğan said he thanked Saruhan and all the executives individually.

Doğan said Trabzon and Rize are two sister cities where the rivalry stays on the pitch while friendship always wins. He said that once again they had shown Turkey the sincerity, hospitality and loyalty of the people of the Black Sea region, and he expressed his pleasure at this.

Stressing that winning and losing are both natural parts of football, Doğan said the brotherhood and bond between the two cities will always endure. In his view, protecting these ties and not allowing them to be damaged is a shared responsibility of everyone.

At the end of his message, Doğan said they would be glad to host the Rizespor management at the match to be played in Trabzon with the same sincerity, friendship and hospitality.
