The Turkish Football Federation announced that 1024 football players were identified as having placed bets as part of an ongoing betting investigation into professional leagues and referred these names to the Professional Football Discipline Board (PFDK).
ONE OF THE 1024 NAMES IS HIM
Among the names referred to the PFDK for allegedly placing bets is Bican Tibukoğlu, who was part of the squad that made history in Europe last season while wearing the Trabzonspor U19 jersey. The 19-year-old left-back scored his team's only goal in the UEFA Youth League final match, which ended in a 4-1 loss to Barcelona, and subsequently became one of the most talked-about names on social media as he struggled to hold back his tears for a long time.
LOANED TO SEBAT GENÇLİKSPOR
After his successful performance, the young player was loaned to Sebat Gençlikspor, a team in the TFF 3rd League, at the beginning of this season. Bican has played 4 matches with his team but has not contributed with any goals or assists.
