River Plate officially introduced Turkish Airlines
Despite having started the season with his name stamped on the chest of the shirt, Turkish Airlines had never been officially presented as a main River Plate sponsor. In the afternoon of Saturday, just 24 hours before facing Boca juniors by the Argentine Soccer Super League, Rodolfo D'Onofrio (President of River Plate) carried out a presentation event that was attended by İlker Aycı (President of Turkish Airlines) After a press conference, the presidents went to the green lawn of the Monumental where the guest was encouraged to play games and kick the bow. Minutes later, Marcelo Gallardo was present to welcome him officially by the Millionaire campus.
“I am very honored to be here. We know that it is a very important club, with a lot of history, with many glories, many titles, many drinks. The core values of Turkish Airlines are the same as those of River Plate. We have been sponsors of big clubs like Barcelona, Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund, among others. We are also proud that Lionel Messi is the face of our airline. I am happy to add a legendary team like River Plate to this list, ”said İlker Aycı.
