After the violent earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria last Monday, killing nearly 23,000 people, the Hatayspor club, where Moroccan international Ayoub El Kaabi plays, has decided to withdraw from the Süper Lig.
During a press briefing on Friday, the President of the Turkish Football Federation announced the decision to withdraw Hatayspor, noting that the club has indeed sent a letter to the Union of Turkish Football Clubs, announcing that the team will not play any more games this season.
