The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) continues to implement regulatory and disciplinary measures across various leagues. Following the 2026-2027 club licensing process, point deductions were imposed on clubs including MKE Ankaragücü, Hatayspor, and Adana Demirspor. MKE Ankaragücü President İlhami Alparslan noted these were due to inherited debts rather than current management failures.

Disciplinary actions by the Professional Football Disciplinary Board (PFDK) have intensified. Recent sanctions in the Trendyol Super Lig included significant fines for field incidents, with Trabzonspor and Kocaelispor receiving 780,000 TL and 755,000 TL respectively. Other clubs, including Galatasaray, Beşiktaş, and Amed Sportif Faaliyetler, faced fines of 280,000 TL each. Individual suspensions were also issued to players such as Eyüpspor’s Ahmed Abdullahi and Trabzonspor’s Melih Kabasakal.

Following a match between Trabzonspor and Beşiktaş on October 19, 2026, Beşiktaş was fined a total of 1,060,000 TL for pitch incidents and “ugly/bad chanting.” This incident resulted in electronic ticket bans for several spectator blocks in the North Upper stands for upcoming away games. Concurrently, the Trabzon Provincial Police Department launched a judicial investigation into a flare incident during the match that injured a spectator, stating they will not tolerate violence or disorder in sports areas.
