London: Turkish-owned Hull City have been promoted to the English Premier League after a 1-0 win in the Championship playoff final against Middlesbrough on Saturday at Wembley Stadium. Oli McBurnie scored the only goal in stoppage time, securing his side's return to the Premier League.

According to Anadolu Agency, Hull City has not competed in the Premier League since the 2016-17 season. The team's promotion marks a significant achievement for Turkish businessman and media owner Acun Ilicali, who purchased the club in 2022. Under his ownership, Hull City managed to navigate the challenges of the Championship to earn a spot in English football's top tier.

The match concluded with Hull City winning 1-0, ensuring their participation in the Premier League next season. This promotion was the result of their victory in the playoff final, a crucial match for teams finishing just below the automatic promotion spots.

In the Championship, Coventry City and Ipswich Town secured direct promotion to the Premier League by finishing in the top two positions. Hull City's playoff success adds them to the list of teams moving up to the Premier League for the upcoming season.
