Soccer is crazy in Türkiye. This Tuesday football returned to the country after last week Faruk Koca, president of MKE Ankaragucu, went down the field and punched match referee Halil Umut Meler in the face, who later received two kicks to the face on the ground and had to be taken to the hospital.
Obviously, the news spread like wildfire after the unfortunate photos of the top leader of the Turkish club, who later announced that he was leaving his position, and when everything seemed to be forgotten, another controversy around Turkish football.
Another president, in this case, Faik Sarıalioğlu, from the lowest team Istanbulspor, decided to step down and stop the match against Trabzonspor, who lost (1-2) and ordered all his players to leave the field for disagreeing with the referee’s action, leaving the match suspended. A completely surreal situation that leaves not only Turkish football, but the country in a worse place.
