While two major earthquakes in Kahramanmaraş, which happened one after another, caused deep pain, Kasımpaşa, who went to Hatay for the Super League match, returned from the brink of disaster.
While Atakaş Hatayspor and Gaziantep FK, the clubs most affected by the earthquake, decided to withdraw from the league, it turned out that Kasımpaşa, who went to Hatay for the league match, survived the earthquake after the warning of Coach Selçuk İnan.
In Kasımpaşa, which changed the Grand Boğaziçi Hotel, which became a pile of debris in the earthquake, at the request of Selçuk İnan, Belgian football player Mickaël Tirpan told for the first time what happened during the earthquake.
“EVERYONE WAS IN CHAOS”
Tirpan said that they woke up with a terrible shock and experienced great fear. I can’t describe the moment I experienced in words. It’s not easy to describe such a feeling. Everyone’s room and the place were confused. We shook a lot, everyone was in chaos. The cupboards fell. One of my teammates was under the cupboard. We tried to get out of the cupboards somehow. He wondered where his family was after he saw her come out like this. His family lived there too.” used his statements.

Pointing out that they survived due to the hotel change, the Belgian player said, “There was a small earthquake in Istanbul in the summer, but it wasn’t like this, of course. We all tried to get out quickly. Anyone we saw on the road went out immediately. We were staying at the hotel. Later we heard our teacher said, “Let’s go to another hotel.” Let’s thank God that we stayed in this hotel. You see the collapsed buildings, let’s say God protected us. After seeing that no one was injured, we thanked God. “Thank you. May God give patience to people who lost their homes. Let’s do whatever we can to help people find peace again.” said.
