Turkish football to resume

Turkey’s football leagues will resume on December 19, ending a brief suspension caused by a violent attack on a referee, the federation announced yesterday.

Matches were suspended hours after MKA Ankaragucu club president Faruk Koca rushed onto the pitch and punched referee Halil Umut Meler after the final whistle in Monday’s first division match in the Turkish capital.

Meler was released from hospital in Ankara yesterday, after undergoing observations and receiving a phone call from President Recep Tayyip Erdogan

Turkish Football Federation chief Mehmet Buyukeksi said the sport’s governing body will announce penalties for the altercation today. He told reporters that weekend matches will be rescheduled to help deal with the incident’s repercussions. — SuperSport.
