Acun Ilıcalı’s team takes on Millwall on the play-off stage
Corendon Airlines-sponsored Hull City will face Millwall in the first leg of the Championship play-offs. The club, owned by Acun Ilıcalı, will fight a crucial battle for its Premier League target.
As the most critical weeks of the season begin in the English Championship, Corendon Airlines-sponsored Hull City is taking to the field to keep its Premier League dream alive. The club, which has carried the support of Turkish tourism and aviation brand Corendon for five years, will face Millwall in the first play-off match.
The clash, to be played on Friday evening at MKM Stadium, carries great importance not only as a football match but also in terms of the club’s future planning. The possibility of promotion to the Premier League, the most financially powerful league in English football, represents a significant financial transformation for Hull City alongside sporting success.
Rise under Sergej Jakirovic attracts attention
Under the management of head coach Sergej Jakirovic, Hull City displayed a consistent performance throughout the season and especially raised supporters’ expectations with its form in the latter stages of the league. The team’s game discipline and defensive organisation are considered among the key factors in the play-off race.
Club owner Acun Ilıcalı continues his investments with the aim of building a lasting structure in English football. If Hull City secures promotion to the Premier League, both the club’s brand value and international visibility will reach a new level.
The Corendon brand increases its visibility in European football
One of the important brands in the Turkish aviation sector, Corendon Airlines continues to expand its sports sponsorship strategy through European football. The Hull City partnership increases the brand’s recognition in the UK market while also demonstrating the impact of Turkish companies in international sports investments.
The match, which will be followed by a wide audience in Türkiye, will be broadcast live on TV8 screens at 22:00.
