Boğaz Endüstri Madencilik Ltd is holding its memorial tournament for the late footballer Onur Kandili for the eighth time this year, keeping his name alive. Kandili played for Mağusa Türk Gücü and died in a sea accident 13 years ago.

The tournament will be held in the U10 category for children born in 2016. The event will be played on Sunday, 1 November, on the natural grass pitch at the sports complex. Six teams are taking part: Mağusa Türk Gücü, Larnaka Gençler Birliği, Dumlupınar, China Bazaar Gençlik Gücü, Değirmenlik and 1461 İskele Trabzonspor. The teams will play each other in a single round-robin league format, and the tournament will end with a final match.

At the awards ceremony after the final, every team will receive a cup, and those placing in the top positions will be presented with medals. Plaques will also be given to those who contributed to the event.

Erhan Bolkan, General Manager of Boğaz Endüstri Madencilik, said that Kandili was a versatile athlete who was also known for his generous and sharing character in working life. Bolkan added that the company does not limit itself to being the main sponsor and takes responsibility for preparing the tournament carefully every year.
