Süper Lig refereeing and VAR controversies

Overview

Controversy regarding officiating and Video Assistant Referee (VAR) decisions has emerged during the opening weeks of the Trendyol Süper Lig.

Following Fenerbahçe’s 2-1 defeat to Gençlerbirliği, commentator Ahmet Çakar criticized the VAR official for failing to award a penalty for a handball involving Anderson Talisca, describing the incident as “100 percent” a penalty.

Subsequently, Konyaspor management expressed strong dissatisfaction with refereeing standards, citing errors in their match against Çaykur Rizespor and their 4-2 loss to Fenerbahçe. The club announced plans to submit formal reports and video analyses to the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) and the Central Referee Committee (MHK) to demand a review of performance and consistency.
