2018, in the year of it’s
40th Year Anniversary, Türkiyemspor Berlin e.V. is expanding it’s range of sports, through the founding of its
first ever basketball department. Its focus will be
on the promotion of women’s and girls’ basketball in Berlin. Already starting in September, three
teams will compete in the regular season of the Berlin Basketball Association
(BBV).
“For us, it is highly important, to create a sports opportunity
for girls and women in Kreuzberg – since we see a
high potential there”, says Lena Demke, interim manager of the department.
“With Turkiyemspor, we have found a club that shares these values and has a lot
of experience with the successful development of their female football
division”. At the same time, the focus will be on basketball for all
levels so that a variety of athletes from the Kiez can participate in the
club’s life.
For
the club, the foundation of a new department means the expansion of their range of
sports that – thus far – has mainly included football. Durmuş Matur, First
Chairman of Türkiyemspor: “This year we are celebrating our 40th
club anniversary. It is a big gift for us to now have a basketball department.
This is an addition to our previous offer and a development opportunity for our
club. We are looking forward to our new members and their input to Türkiyemspor
e.V.”
Through
a crowdfunding campaign, people who are interested in sports, will be able to
support the building up of the new department at Türkiyemspor. Starting in
November at fairplaid.org.
