The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) Legal Consultancy has referred 1024 football players to the Professional Football Discipline Board (PFDK) on the grounds of "betting."
The statement made by the Turkish Football Federation is as follows:
"As part of the betting investigation conducted by the Turkish Football Federation regarding professional leagues, it has been decided to refer 1024 football players, who have been found to have engaged in betting, to the PFDK with precautionary measures starting from 10.11.2025, in accordance with Article 57 of the Football Discipline Regulation.
Due to the precautionary referral of 1024 football players to the PFDK, negotiations have been initiated with FIFA to grant a 15-day transfer and registration period in addition to the winter transfer period of the 2025-2026 season, at the national level, to allow clubs to complete their squad deficiencies.
With the decision of the TFF Board of Directors dated 10.11.2025, it has been decided to postpone the fixtures of the TFF 2nd League and TFF 3rd League matches by 2 weeks. The TFF Super League and TFF 1st League matches will continue to be played as previously announced.
The disciplinary referral processes of 47 football players, who have been found to have engaged in betting only once, will be evaluated based on new evidence and information obtained as a result of the responses from the relevant institutions, in order to avoid irreparable damages.
Correspondence with official institutions by the Turkish Football Federation is ongoing, and the investigation will continue to be expanded based on the responses received."
