Galatasaray to auction off its manager Buruk’s match-worn special jerseys to benefit Turkish earthquake victims

ISTANBUL

Galatasaray will auction off manager Okan Buruk’s signed match-worn special jerseys to benefit victims in the wake of the devastating earthquakes that hit Türkiye last week.

Buruk confirmed on Instagram that he donated his signed Inter Milan and Galatasaray shirts to victims in Türkiye.

“You can deliver the items you want to be included in our auction to Nef Stadium P1 Parking Area,” the 49-year-old manager wrote as he encouraged fans to donate.

The auction is organized by Galatasaray in cooperation with Istanbul-based auction house, Dev Muzayede.

Buruk was a pure Galatasaray product, playing for the Istanbul club’s youth teams and senior team.

He was one of the main pillars of Galatasaray when the Istanbul side clinched the 2000 UEFA Cup and the UEFA Super Cup.

Buruk won seven Turkish Super Lig championships, five Turkish Cups, and a Turkish Super Cup. He retired in 2010.

As manager, Buruk guided Basaksehir to the Istanbul club’s first and only Turkish Super Lig title in 2020.
