Following an incident where a referee was physically assaulted by a club president, Turkish football authorities have taken swift action by suspending all leagues indefinitely. The attack occurred after a top-flight game between MKE Ankaragucu and Caykur Rizespor, where referee Halil Umut Meler was punched to the ground by Ankaragucu president Faruk Koca. The assault took place after Ankaragucu conceded a last-minute equalizer.
