The Turkish Football Federation’s legal department has referred nine Super League clubs to the Professional Football Disciplinary Board. The federation published the referrals made on 10 November in an announcement dated 11 November. Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe and Trabzonspor are among the clubs concerned. The files set out allegations for examination by the board; the announcement contains referrals rather than final sanctions.[1], [2]
Galatasaray’s referral concerns chanting against Amed Sportif Faaliyetler, while Amed’s concerns crowd incidents in the same match. Gaziantep FK was referred for chanting and crowd incidents against Kasımpaşa. Samsunspor’s case concerns crowd incidents against Konyaspor. Erzurumspor FK was referred for chanting against Çaykur Rizespor, and Trabzonspor for chanting in its match against Alanyaspor.[1]
Göztepe’s case from the Başakşehir fixture invokes alleged non-compliance with regulations and a provision of the competition statute. Çorum FK’s referral from the Fenerbahçe match cites chanting and equipment rules. Fenerbahçe was also referred over chanting and alleged competition-statute breaches in that fixture. The board will examine the legal department’s grounds; the federation’s announcement does not set out the resulting penalties.[1]
