The KTFF Disciplinary Board has awarded Cihangir GSK a forfeit defeat, citing the inclusion of a suspended player on the match team sheet. The AKSA Süper Lig Week 7 match against Yenicami AK was registered as a 3-0 win for Yenicami AK.
The Turkish Cypriot Football Federation (KTFF) Disciplinary Board met to consider matches played between 23 and 25 October 2026. Disciplinary sanctions for the AKSA Süper Lig, AKSA 1. Lig, AKSA A2 Süper Lig, AKSA A2 1. Lig and Digiturk Kıbrıs U17 Elit Lig matches were discussed at the board chaired by Lawyer Gizem Bahri.
The main decision of the meeting concerned the AKSA Süper Lig Week 7 match between Yenicami AK and Cihangir GSK. The match was played on 25 October 2026 at Lefkoşa Atatürk Stadium. Following an objection from Yenicami AK, the case was referred to the Cihangir GSK board, and the club submitted its response in a letter dated 27 October 2026.
The board's review found that Cihangir GSK player Asliddin Nurmamatov was sent off with a red card in the 84th minute of the AKSA A2 Süper Lig match against Dumlupınar TSK on 17 October 2026. Despite serving a two-match suspension under a decision published on 23 October 2026, the player was included on the team sheet for the Yenicami AK match.
Article 24, paragraph (f) of the KTFF Match Regulations states that listing and fielding a suspended or administratively restricted player constitutes grounds for a forfeit defeat. Relying on this provision and on the authority granted in paragraph three of Article 25, the board awarded a forfeit defeat to Cihangir GSK. The board unanimously decided that the match be registered as a 3-0 win for Yenicami AK.
