It has been claimed that the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) has appointed the referee for the Fenerbahçe-Galatasaray derby in the Ziraat Turkey Cup. According to the allegations, the referee for the derby will be Mehmet Türkmen.
The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) made headlines by rejecting Beşiktaş's request for a foreign referee and appointing Yasin Kol for the Galatasaray derby. Following this decision, attention turned to the referee for the Fenerbahçe-Galatasaray derby to be played in the semi-finals of the Ziraat Turkey Cup.
MEHMET TÜRKMEN WILL REFEREE THE DERBY It has been claimed that the TFF has already determined the referee for the big derby. It is suggested that Mehmet Türkmen will officiate the critical match between Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray. However, it was noted that if Halil Umut Meler, who is currently injured, recovers, the experienced referee will be considered as an alternative.
Mehmet Türkmen NO ASSIGNMENT IN WEEK 26 Another noteworthy detail regarding referee assignments is that Mehmet Türkmen did not officiate any matches in the 29th week of the Super League. This situation strengthened claims that it was a conscious choice for Türkmen to prepare for the derby.
