On 23 August 2026, Konyaspor Club announced that it will forward footage and technical assessments to the TFF and the Central Referee Committee regarding disputed referee decisions in its first two Süper Lig matches against Çaykur Rizespor and Fenerbahçe.

Disputed Decisions

In the first week’s home match against Çaykur Rizespor, a penalty awarded in the final minutes was described as controversial. In the match against Fenerbahçe, the club said that the decisions made by the main referee and VAR officials were incorrect.

Club’s Statement

"Tümosan Konyaspor, we have never had a management philosophy that ties our defeats solely to referee decisions, and we will not adopt such a philosophy in the future. However, it is our natural right to demand that our on-field work be protected by principled, fair and consistent referee management; we are aware of our responsibility to our fans and community," the club said.

Documents to be Submitted

Konyaspor will officially send the footage and technical evaluations of the disputed positions to the TFF and the Central Referee Committee. The club expects the relevant bodies to examine the positions carefully and to ensure that the same standard is applied to all teams in similar situations.
