According to the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) Professional Football Disciplinary Board (PFDK) decisions announced on September 10, 2026, Beşiktaş forward Dusan Vlahovic received a one-match suspension and a 100,000 TL fine following an incident during the Fenerbahçe match. The board issued sanctions across multiple Süper Lig Adnan Süvari Season fixtures, penalizing players, coaches, and clubs for on-field infractions, unsportsmanlike conduct, and disciplinary violations.
Disciplinary Sanctions for Süper Lig Players and Coaches
The PFDK punished several high-profile players and technical staff members for actions recorded during early September fixtures. According to official TFF statements, İstanbul Başakşehir player Umut Bozok and Göztepe defender Ogün Bayrak each received two-match suspensions for serious fouls on opposing players. Fenerbahçe attacker Kerem Aktürkoğlu was issued a 500,000 TL fine over post-match flash interview remarks deemed damaging to the reputation of football and its institutions, a decision passed by majority vote.
On the technical side, İstanbul Başakşehir Technical Director Nuri Şahin and Erzurumspor FK coach Ziya Akçeken were each handed a one-match dressing room and bench ban alongside 100,000 TL fines for unsportsmanlike behavior toward match referees. Kasımpaşa coach İlker Püren received a heavier sanction of a three-match suspension and a 100,000 TL fine for insulting a match official during the fixture against Amed Sportif Faaliyetler, according to disciplinary records.
Club Fines and Blocked E-Ticket Sanctions
Clubs faced substantial financial penalties and spectator restrictions due to crowd behavior, stadium rule violations, and operational delays. Beşiktaş was fined for various infractions including team-related issues, crowd disturbances, second-offense offensive chanting, and failure to keep stairway spaces clear. Fenerbahçe and Trabzonspor each received fines, while Galatasaray was penalized 200,000 TL for fan chants during their match against Başakşehir. Kocaelispor incurred a fine for failing to adhere to the official match schedule.
Electronic ticket blocks were levied on specific fan sections across multiple stadiums to curb offensive chanting. Supporters located in designated zones for Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe, Beşiktaş, Kasımpaşa, and Göztepe will have their cards blocked for their respective clubs’ next away or home fixtures, as outlined by the disciplinary board.
Dismissed Charges for Club Executives
The disciplinary board reviewed several high-profile referrals and ruled that no disciplinary action was warranted for several club presidents and administrators. According to official records, Fenerbahçe President Aziz Yıldırım, Trabzonspor President Ertuğrul Doğan, Galatasaray executive Metin Öztürk, and Gençlerbirliği’nde teknik direktör Metin Diyadin were cleared of charges relating to media statements and social media posts that had questioned the integrity of football institutions.
