Turkish Super Lig Trabzonspor To Play Six Home Games Behind Closed Doors

The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) decided on Wednesday that Trabzonspor will host their next six home games without attendance and that two Fenerbahce players would serve one-match bans for a brawl that occurred following a game last month.

Following their team’s 3-2 home loss to Fenerbahce at Papara Park, Trabzonspor supporters invaded the pitch and engaged in combat with security personnel and players.

This is only the most recent incident to plague the Turkish league this season.

In addition, the team was fined three million Turkish lira ($93,899.65) and faced other punitive measures. Additionally, Egemen Korkmaz, the coach of Trabzonspor, was barred from the locker room and bench for one game.

Bright Osayi-Samuel, a defender for Fenerbahce, was not handed a penalty after being attacked by a fan on the pitch and being seen fighting the fan.

Irfan Can Egribayat and Jayden Quinn Oosterwolde of Fenerbahce, on the other hand, were both given one-match bans and modest fines by the PFDK for their roles in the on-field incident.

Fenerbahce, the second most decorated team in Turkey and the winners of 19 league titles in 2014, are five points behind primary rivals Galatasaray, who play this weekend, in second position after 30 games.
