WATCH: Madness, celebrations as Farouk Miya, Yanick Bollasie’s Caykur Rizespor returns to Turkish topflight

There were massive celebrations on Sunday as Farouk Miya’s Caykur Rizespor returned to the Turkish topflight, Spor Toto Süper Lig.

This is after the team scrapped a goalless draw against Altinordu to earn a direct promotion slot.

Uganda Cranes’ midfielder Farouk Miya was not named on the matchday sheet as former Crystal Palace, Aston Villa and Everton striker Yannick Bolasie led the line.

The draw sealed Caykur Rizespor’s second place with 68 points, one ahead of Pendikspor, who now drop to the playoff that will have five teams.

Rizespor was relegated from the topflight at the end of the 2021-22 season.

Miya joined the club in July last year on a two-year contract and has made 20 appearances scoring four goals this season.
