The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) has taken decisive action in its massive betting scandal investigation, formally announcing suspensions for 102 professional players. The TFF’s Professional Football Disciplinary Board (PFDK) confirmed that the penalties, known as “deprivation of rights,” will now be referred to as suspensions ranging from 45 days to one year.
This unprecedented disciplinary move, which affects 25 players from the Super Lig and 77 from the second-tier First Division, underscores the TFF’s commitment to rooting out gambling violations (FDT Article 57) in the sport.
