TFF Refers Trabzon Match Brawl to Disciplinary Board by Unanimous Decision

The match between Tonyaspor and Yomra Yıldırım Fırtına Spor Kulübü, played on November 12 at Tonya District Stadium in the Trabzon 1st Amateur League, was suspended due to a brawl that broke out. 6 players were injured in the incidents. The Trabzon Football Provincial Organizing Committee met in an extraordinary session and unanimously decided to refer the match to the Provincial Disciplinary Board.

TFF Trabzon Provincial Representative Ekrem Kaan Gürdoğan said that the referee, observer and match commissioner reports were examined in detail at the meeting. The decision stated that a total of 11 players from both teams and 1 technical official were involved in the incidents. It was noted that the process would be carried out by the Provincial Disciplinary Board while respecting the defense rights of the parties concerned, and that the final decision would be issued by the competent body.

Three players and one club official who were detained in connection with the incidents were released under judicial control by the on-duty judge.

Gürdoğan stated that the incidents are in no way acceptable. Emphasizing that the rivalry should remain on the pitch, he expressed hope that such incidents would not turn into lasting resentment between clubs. He called on clubs, athletes and technical staff to show common sense, tolerance, mutual respect and the spirit of fair play. He said they would continue to fulfill their responsibilities to protect the shared values of Trabzon football.
