Hull City's Owner Is Taking 500 Fans On All Inclusive Holiday To Turkey

Hull City owner Acun Ilicali has announced he will take 500 fans on holiday at the end of the season.

After winning League One in 2020/21, Hull are currently 20th in the Championship but look like they will remain in the second tier for another term.

And Ilicali, who bought the Tigers in January, is planning to reward fans for their loyal support in a huge way.

He attended a fan event on Thursday and told supporters that there will be an all-inclusive, five-star holiday to Antalya, Turkey.

Those who have attended the most games will get priority and there will also be a lottery, as well as some charity involvement for the five-day, all expenses trip to his home country.

"I thought about what I can do to make our fans feel different. I want being a Hull City fan to be a privilege," Ilicali said, as per the BBC.

"We're going to have a private chartered (flight) from Humberside (Airport) to Antalya. Five days in a five-star hotel. We're going to enjoy together, everybody will have good memories.

"I cannot tell you about the numbers specifically but first of all, some rewards to the most attendance. I think we have the numbers of who most attended the games. These guys should be rewarded.

"Some of the most attendance ones, rest will be lottery, some to charity, so all of us feel good. Fantastic five days enjoying together and refreshing after Covid."

250 people will be selected for the end-of-season break, with each person able to bring a guest.

At the forum, Ilicali also revealed Hull will head to Turkey for a pre-season tour. They will play three games, including a huge clash with Turkish giants Fenerbahce.

Ilicali, who spearheads the Acun Medya Group secured a £30 million takeover, ending Hull's 11-year spell under the Allam family.
