UEFA Route de Genve 46 Case postale CH-1260 Nyon 2 Switzerland Tel: +41 (0) 848 00 2727 Fax: +41

(0) 848 01 2727 info@uefa.com 12.07.2011 Dear UEFA Officers,

I am sure you are aware of the match fixing scandal that is currently surrounding the headlines in Turkey. As you know the Turkish Police force has gathered some crucial evidence against Fenerbahce Sport Club, the allegations are that Fenerbahce S.C fixed 5 matches in the road to their championship, and according to the media the evidence gathered in the case is very strong. 200 taped phone calls, and 7 video footages are in custody of the Turkish Police. I as a Turkish football supporter urge UEFA to send a delegate to examine the evidence; the Turkish Football Federation will give the decision regarding Fenerbahces championship before 15th of July. The reason Im asking UEFA to send a delegate is because Im very concerned about the Turkish Football Federation, the current Football Federation president is Mr M.Ali Aydnlar. He was in the Fenerbahce board of directors while the so called match fixing was taking place. Now he will give the crucial decision regarding Fenerbahces faith. I dont think anyone believes that the Turkish Football Federation can give an objective decision. According to the disciplinary code, the punishment of match fixing is relegation to a lower league. This is very clearly stated in the disciplinary code. If the UEFA sends a delegate, and oversees the investigation, I think it will be in the best interest of the Turkish Football. Might I add, there is also a huge conflict of interest, the head of Turkish Football Federation is also the owner of the Acibadem Hospital, which is a sponsor of Fenerbahce, most of the Turkish Football pundits have underlined this as well, no one truly believes, Mr. Mehmet Ali Aydnlar can remain neutral in this situation.

Best Regards
