There was a historical scandal in the Vakıfbank match, which was played at Vakıfbank’s home ground, Vakıfbank Sports Palace, and which resulted in our team Fenerbahçe Opet’s 3-1 victory. Losing the first set that went head-to-head, the Yellow Angels won the second set, which went head-to-head, and brought the situation 1-1. Offering a superior game in the third set of the match, our team made the score 15-7, especially with the form of Arina Fedorovtseva. Arina came to the service line at 11-7 and used 3 consecutive serve shots. Arina scored 2 points, one of which was an ace, in this section, and gave Vakıfbank a timeout once. She came to the service line for the 4th time, and here was what happened. Vakifbank officials, who wanted to slow the pace of our team, were disinfected after each number and prevented Arina from serving by not putting the balls in the basket or taking them from the basket. In this position, which went down in the history of Turkish Volleyball, where everyone, especially Arina, was surprised, the ball was given to Arina about 1 minute later to serve, and Arina, who was distracted by reaching the goal, was able to miss the service shot.
Actually, this was not the first scandal in Vakıfbank Sports Palace. In the Vakıfbank – Fenerbahçe Opet match played on November 25, 2017, an image that was not related to the position was displayed on the Video (Image) Evaluation System in a position that Vakıfbank coach objected. Of course, this situation was corrected, but it damaged people’s trust a lot.
We are wondering what other scandals will happen at Vakıfbank Sports Palace.
