President Necati Alçık presented the foundation’s projects for bringing disadvantaged children into sport at a programme in İstanbul.

Necati Alçık, president of the International Talent Scouts Football Academy (UYAFA), continues to present the academy’s work wherever he goes.

At the weekend he attended a programme in İstanbul organised by the Midider Malatya Federation, where he serves as coordination president. There he met Murat Kurum, AK Party candidate for metropolitan mayor; Halis Dalkılıç, AK Party MP for İstanbul; Arzu Erdem, MHP MP for İstanbul in the 27th term; Yasin Kartoğlu, mayor of Başakşehir; and Gürbüz Arslan from MHP Ankara. He presented the projects run under UYAFA for bringing disadvantaged children into society and into sport, and set out their aims.

Alçık also said that by moving the centre from Erzurum to İstanbul and producing a great deal of sport there, UYAFA could take the place in the world it deserves.
