Sanctions ‘could loom’ after Trabzonspor 4-0 Galatasaray as TFF referrals filed | OneFootball

Trabzonspor thrashed Galatasaray 4-0 at Papara Park. 61 saat reports that the Turkish Football Federation's legal adviser then announced a raft of referrals to the Professional Football Disciplinary Board (PFDK).

Top of the list was Trabzonspor president Ertugrul Dogan. He was referred to the disciplinary committee without a precautionary measure under Article 38, over post-match media comments deemed harmful to the reputation of football.

Galatasaray, and three of its members, were also referred under Article 53, with the club cited over obscene and offensive chanting by its supporters during the match.

The decisions also covered staff and players. Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk was referred as a precautionary measure, effective 20 September 2026, on a charge of unsporting conduct. Player Leslie Chimuanya Ogunczukwu faced the same from the same date, for unlawful conduct.

A famous night in Trabzon has become a disciplinary dossier. Harsh sanctions loom, and they could shake the foundations of Turkish football in the days ahead.
