Turkish Football Federation Arbitration Board Evaluated Appeals
Addressing the appeals against the decisions of the Professional Football Disciplinary Board, the Arbitration Board found the given penalties to be in compliance with the law and finalized the decisions.
The Turkish Football Federation Arbitration Board examined and upheld the decisions regarding the appeals against the penalties given to Okan Buruk and Lesley Ugochukwu, as well as the fine imposed on Galatasaray Club by the Professional Football Disciplinary Board.
Okan Buruk's Penalty Confirmed
The penalty of head coach Okan Buruk, who received a red card in the Trabzonspor match played in the 6th week of the Trendyol Super League, has been finalized.
The Board found the 1-official-match ban from entering the locker room and the substitute bench, along with the 100 thousand lira fine, to be appropriate due to his unsportsmanlike conduct toward the match referee.
Lesley Ugochukwu's Suspension
The disciplinary penalty of Lesley Ugochukwu, who was sent off after receiving a red card in the same match, was also examined by the Arbitration Board.
As a result of the evaluation, the 2-official-match suspension given to the player was approved and gained finality.
Fine for Galatasaray Club
In addition to the appeal files of clubs and individuals, the Arbitration Board also ruled on the penalty given to Galatasaray Club.
The 350 thousand lira fine imposed due to the ugly and bad chants caused by the fans during the match was also upheld.
