Rumor has it that Faruk Koca’s net worth is measured in millions. It won’t be hard to believe because Koca has a solid reputation in various industries, including business and politics. Faruk Koca, president of Turkish football club MKE Ankaragucu, attacked referee Halil Umut Meler after his team’s 1-1 draw against Aykur Rizespor. The Turkish Football Federation suspended all competitions after the heinous incident. According to reports, Koca and two others were legally detained for “injuring a public servant”. Gianni Infantino, FIFA president, also said the incident was completely inappropriate. He said that such behavior has no place either in sport or in society.
Salary and net worth of Faruk Koca
Faruk Koca is said to have a seven-figure net worth. Koca, a Turkish figure, not only lived in the athletics sector of his country, but also has political and commercial connections. This 64-year-old is the president of MKE Ankaragucu and was twice elected to the Turkish parliament. Between 2002 and 2011, he was a member of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey. In addition, Koca is one of the founders of the Party of Free Trade, Justice and Development. From 2021, Koca is the president of MKE Ankaragücü. MKE is the tenth most valued team in the Turkish league, according to the Transfer Markt website. He is currently worth 30.45 million euros, which is much less than competitors Galatasaray, Fenerbache and Besiktas.
No one expected to witness Koca’s fury on the pitch, even though the president had previously been named Fair Play Manager of the Month. Koca has tried to keep his personal life out of the spotlight, although it is widely assumed that the president of the Turkish club has four children. Faruk Koca, as the president of the club, is responsible for the preservation and development of the club’s image. But he went out and did the exact opposite. He was undoubtedly paid a lot to be the president of the club.
But based on his recent behavior, it doesn’t look like he’ll get a pay rise. Some top executives in the UK earn well over a million pounds a year, however, this may not be possible in Turkey. However, Koca’s annual fee could be in six figures. Turkish teams normally do not release his information to the public, but considering Koca’s connections, it is not hard to imagine.
Faruk Koca is being prosecuted for hitting the referee
After the event, Ankaragücü’s official X account (formerly Twitter) apologized. The apology came two hours after the heinous crime.
“As MKE Ankaragücü sports club, we are saddened by the incident that happened tonight.”
“We apologize to the Turkish football public and the entire sports community for the sad incident that happened after the Caykur Rizespor matches at the Eryaman Stadium.”
All Turkish matches in all leagues have been suspended indefinitely by the Turkish Football Association. They also cited an event in which they condemned Kocu’s behavior. The alliance wished judge Halil Umut Meler a speedy recovery and said: “In cooperation with our country, all deserved criminal proceedings have been initiated against those responsible and instigators of this inhumane attack.” They went on to say: “The club responsible, the club president, its managers and all the criminals who attacked Halil Umut Meler will be severely punished.”
