The humble Turkish club "Harunustaspor" quickly became famous worldwide. A non-professional team bought a football player for cryptocurrency and claims to have done it for the first time in football history. Player Omer Faruk Kiroglu cost 0.0524 bitcoin (at the time rate of 386 pounds), and also 2500 Turkish lira (467 pounds). Club president Haldun Sehitas rubbed his hands in joy - without much effort, the most famous European publications wrote about his team. "This is the first case in Turkey and the world. We are proud of this achievement and believe that now our team will be known both in our country and internationally," said Sehitas. "Let's hope that this will be beneficial for both parties. It is an honor for me to be part of this deal and I am delighted with my manager's innovation. This is the future," said football player Kiroglu.
