Erciyes 38 FK Fined 1.5 Million TL

Erciyes 38 Football Club, which competes in Turkey's 3rd Division Group 3, was fined by the Amateur Football Disciplinary Board for not participating in the U14, U15 and U19 Development Leagues. The board had imposed a total fine of 3 million TL, 1 million TL for each development league.

Following the club's appeal, the decision was taken to the Arbitration Board. Applying a discretionary reduction of half under Article 13 of the Football Disciplinary Regulation, the board lowered the penalty to 500 thousand TL. The total fine for the three leagues was therefore set at 1.5 million TL.

In a statement, the Turkish Football Federation said action was taken under the relevant articles of the Development League Status because the club had no documents related to the development leagues and did not take part. The board's decision was reported to have been upheld unanimously.
