Amedspor, the leader of the Red Group of the 2nd League of the Turkish Football Federation (TFF), feeling pressured by the sanctions of the Turkish Football Federation (TFF), having experienced discrimination during away games, and being at the center of political discussions, will face the second-placed opponent on Sunday after each game. They will be guests at Kastamonuspor. In the southeast, especially in Diyarbakır, there was a tense atmosphere due to Amedspor’s fateful game in Kastamonu. The Diyarbakır Municipality will broadcast the game live on a huge screen that will be installed at two different points in the city to support Amedspor.
Amedspor has recently taken on the task of considering Diyarbakırspor as the team of the region in the years when it competed in the first league and welcoming it by the local population. Amedspor, competing in the 2nd League Red Division, was founded on August 18, 1976 as Melikahmetspor. The group continued its activities in 1990 as Diyarbakır Belediyespor and in 1996 as Diyarbakır Büyükşehir Belediye Diskispor. The team changed its name to Diyarbakır Büyükşehir Belediyespor in 2010 and at the extraordinary general assembly in 2014, the club’s name was changed to Amed Sportive Activities. The club’s name change application, adopting the historical Kurdish name Diyarbakır, was approved by the association about a year later, and the games were played under the name Amedspor.
First Action of the Co-Leaders
The team, which was subjected to discriminatory chants and attacks in away games under the name Amed, became the center of discussions after each game. Every game of Amedspor, which has quickly established itself in the hearts of football fans in the region, attracts great attention in the region, and the team is embraced. Amedspor, the group leader, is preparing for a tough away game against its strong rival GMG Kastamonuspor on Sunday. Amedspor, continuing its preparations for the Kastamonuspor game, also known as the „match,“ in line with the victory, received moral support from the DEM Co-Mayors Serra Bucak and Doğan Hatun as soon as they received their certificates.
„Enjoy Watching“
At the initiative of Bucak and Hatun, the municipality started installing large screens in two different parts of the city where fans could watch Amedspor’s away game against Kastamonuspor in Diyarbakır. Football fans will enjoy watching the game live on huge screens installed at Kent Square and Park Orman. In the written statement by Bucak and Hatun, it says: „As Diyarbakır Metropolitan Municipality, we are installing LED screens at Kent Square and Park Orman so that football fans can watch the game ‚Kastamonuspor-Amedspor‘ that will be played live on Sunday, April 14. We wish you a lot of enjoyment and success for our team, Amedspor.“
The Breath is Held
The game will take place on Sunday at 3:00 pm at Kastamonu-Gazi Stadium. This game is of great importance for the two teams fighting for the 1st League to finish the season as champions. Amedspor is at the top with 74 points, its rival Kastamonuspor is in second place with 71 points. If Amedspor earns 3 points against Kastamonu, they will have a 6-point difference between them and their strongest rival. If it remains the same, it will maintain its 3-point lead over its opponent again. Football fans in the eastern and southeastern provinces, as well as in Diyarbakır, are expected to watch the game between Amedspor and Kastamonuspor with bated breath. If Amedspor wins the game, great jubilation is expected in the region.
