Soccer-Turkey Bans 147 Club Officials for 45 Days in Betting Probe
The disciplinary board found betting-rule violations in 147 of 448 cases and imposed 45-day penalties that bar officials from duties.
- On Tuesday, the Turkish Football Federation's disciplinary committee imposed 45-day bans on 147 current and former club officials for violating betting rules, barring them from carrying out duties within the sport during suspension.
- The Professional Football Disciplinary Board issued these penalties after reviewing 448 cases referred by the TFF, while clearing 301 individuals due to insufficient evidence for disciplinary action.
- Among those sanctioned is Ertugrul Dogan, president of Super Lig club Trabzonspor, according to the committee's ruling that targets current and former officials.
- The TFF has tightened its oversight of betting since a scandal rocked Turkish soccer last year, having previously suspended 149 referees and 1,024 players as part of the broader investigation.
- Authorities focused on individuals who served over the previous five years at clubs competing in Turkey's top two divisions, establishing the investigation's geographic and temporal scope.
