91. Kocaelispor
The real owners of the club are the supporters. No one else. We're joined by Eray Cayli and Murat Odabasi to talk about Kocaelispor, the club from Türkiye who refuse to die. Surviving financial annihilation, an attempted takeover by Türkiye's state and a devastating earthquake, Kocaelispor have stood as İzmit's true representative, giving its people a place of community, identity and expression.
This is their story.
