Trabzonspor president Ertugrul Dogan is among 147 football club officials given 45-day bans by the Turkish Football Federation for breaching betting rules. The case concerns people who, the TFF said, had held posts at clubs in the top two divisions in Turkish football over the previous five years.
Bans confirmed by the TFF
Dogan was named among the 147 club officials to be sanctioned. The TFF said 147 people were found to have breached betting rules and will receive 45-day bans from the Turkish Football Federation.
September disciplinary referrals
In September, it was announced that 448 people had been provisionally suspended and referred to the TFF's professional football disciplinary board over allegations they had placed bets while in office.
Other cases not pursued
The TFF said there were insufficient grounds for disciplinary action in the other 301 cases.
Rules and an earlier investigation
Like players and coaches, match officials are forbidden from participating in betting activities by TFF regulations, as well as those of Fifa and Uefa. In November 2025, 149 referees and 1,204 players were given bans following a TFF investigation.
