The chairman of Fenerbahce announced to thousands of congress members assembled at their Istanbul stadium on Tuesday that the club had decided not to follow through on its threat to resign from the Turkish Super Lig.
“In all our meetings, the least preferred option was to withdraw from the league.
“The reason why this opinion is not wanted is that people think we would have to deal in the lower league with the same things we deal with here,” club chairman Ali Koc told the congress.

“We are taking this option off the table until the general assembly at the end of the season,” Koc added.
Fenerbahce declared in March that they would think about leaving the league following an incident in which Trabzonspor supporters attacked some of their players.
Following their team’s 3-2 loss, Trabzonspor supporters invaded the pitch and got into a scuffle with Fenerbahce players and security personnel.
This is just the most recent incident that has plagued the Turkish league this season.
After 30 games, Fenerbahce, who won their 19th league title in 2014, is two points behind Galatasaray in the standings.
On Wednesday, they are scheduled to host Adana Demirspor.
