A new and striking claim has emerged in the betting scandal that has shaken Turkish football. Journalist Ali Naci Küçük alleged that he placed a bet on a match officiated by one of the top-tier referees, investing approximately 400,000 TL on the "red card" option and winning 5 million TL.

As part of the investigation conducted by the Turkish Football Federation, 152 referees were referred to the Professional Football Discipline Board on the grounds of "betting."

Among these names are 7 top-class referees, meaning those who officiate Super League and 1st League matches. The inclusion of FIFA-licensed referee Zorbay Küçük in the list once again highlighted the seriousness of the situation.

ALLEGATION OF "BETTING ON A MATCH HE OFFICIATED"

Journalist Ali Naci Küçük made a statement on the 343 Digital YouTube channel, presenting an allegation that would escalate the dimensions of the scandal. Küçük stated, "One of the 7 referees in the top class is betting on a lower league match he will officiate, saying 'issue a red card.' He wins 10 times the amount he invested. He bets approximately 470-480 thousand lira and earns nearly 5 million lira."

FOOTBALL FANS IN SHOCK

TFF President İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu stated in a recent announcement that the investigation regarding referees who bet is ongoing and that necessary sanctions will be applied. However, the shift of the allegations towards "referees betting on the matches they officiate" has created a shock effect in the football community.

INVESTIGATION DEEPENS

The TFF and relevant boards are continuing their investigations through MASAK reports, banking records, and betting platform account movements. If the allegations are confirmed, the referees in question may face a lifetime ban from officiating.
