After almost 20 years, the footballers of SGT Istanbul Moosburg are moving back into the district class - and there is even a reason to celebrate.

Moosburg – That was pure drama: Thanks to the last-minute 3-3 draw in the derby against TSV Moosburg, the footballers of SGT Istanbul made it – the championship in A-Class 6 and promotion to the district class are certain. Coach Emrah Kirkulak sounded a little stricken on Monday morning: "The big party started right after the game and continued on Sunday."

Players, board members and fans turned the football pitch into a party area, because after all, a long-awaited goal had become reality with the promotion. "We've been waiting for this for 20 years now. Some long-time fans were there today – and I'm particularly happy for them," says Kirkulak.

Kirkulak: "I'm just proud of the guys."

On and off the pitch, the players have done everything in recent weeks and months to ensure that SGT Istanbul is at the top in the end: "I'm just proud of the boys." When he took over for the second half of the season, the team was still tied on points behind Langenbach in second place. Now the lead is twelve points – a true masterpiece. Nevertheless, Emrah Kirkulak does not want to forget his predecessor Yasin Barin: "He laid the foundation – and I was able to build on it."

There was great relief for sports director Gökhan Doruk. The atmosphere with the 350 spectators was perfect for the championship party: "You can't even imagine what was going on after the final whistle. Everyone was just cheering." Anything else would have been a huge disappointment. "We've been preparing everything for this game for weeks. Everyone helped out, and luckily the weather was right on Saturday." For the women, there were even roses on the occasion of the upcoming Mother's Day, and the anticipation could be felt throughout the stadium.

Association celebrates its 45th anniversary

The SGT sports director explicitly thanked Coach Kirkulak: "What he has achieved with the team is simply amazing." Apart from the 3-3 draw against TSV Moosburg, there have only been victories this calendar year.

The longed-for promotion to the district class also fits for another reason this year, says Doruk: "We are also celebrating our 45th anniversary - and we can celebrate both together." The exact date for this party will be announced. Now the team wants to finish the season seriously.
