New Team Bus for Fenerbahce
A specially designed new team bus for Fenerbahce Football’s First Team has been delivered to the yellow-and-dark-blue club. The handover ceremony at Fenerbahce’s Can Bartu Facilities was attended by Fenerbahce Board Members Acun Ilıcalı, Burak Caglan Kızılhan, and Hulusi Belgu, alongside Gursel Tourism’s Board Chairman Levent Birand, Vice Chairman Hurer Gunduz, Kadikoy District Governor Muhittin Pamuk, Coach Jose Mourinho, first-team captains Edin Dzeko and Mert Hakan Yandas, as well as other guests.
Speaking at the ceremony, General Secretary Burak Caglan Kızılhan said, “With our new bus beside me, we’ll head to away games, and hopefully, return to Istanbul with victories and trophies. I wish our new bus brings good luck and success to our team.”
Gursel Tourism Chairman Levent Birand expressed his admiration for Fenerbahce, saying, “Fenerbahce is one of Turkish sports’ most valued representatives. It proudly represents our country in every field, and we are thrilled to support them. We aim to carry Fenerbahce to success under the unifying spirit of sports.”
“The Most Luxurious and Expensive of Its Kind”
Hurer Gunduz, Vice Chairman of Gursel Tourism, provided details to AA News Agency about the bus, emphasizing that it was specially made for Fenerbahce’s 50th anniversary. Gunduz noted, “We have been Fenerbahce’s transportation sponsor for 50 years, going back to the legendary coach Didi’s era. We commissioned this vehicle from the Hosdere factory, equipped with all the top-tier Mercedes features and more. It’s the most luxurious and expensive of its kind. We hope it brings many achievements.”
Gunduz added that he also had a conversation with Coach Jose Mourinho on the bus. “Mourinho loved the bus,” he said. “We even told him, ‘You can use it anytime, even for a trip to the grocery store. This is a special bus, made for a special person.’ Workers at the factory inscribed their wishes and blessings on the chassis. It’s a bus created with love, and Mourinho was impressed. We even hope to let the board members drive it on a Formula 1 track. This bus provides the comfort of an airplane. Its suspension system, silence, and comfort are top-notch. While your journey won’t be as fast as a plane, it will be more comfortable.”
