Konyaspor has avoided any sanctions from the Turkish Football Federation's Professional Football Disciplinary Board (PFDK) in its latest round of decisions. According to a report by Memleket, the club and its president, Ömer Atiker, were referred to the board over posts made from the club's official social media accounts following the Fenerbahçe match, but the PFDK ruled there was no place for penalty determination in both cases.
Why were Konyaspor and Atiker referred?
The sole reason for the referrals of Konyaspor Club and President Ömer Atiker to the PFDK was posts made from the club's official social media account after the match against Fenerbahçe. The board reviewed these posts and decided that no penalty was warranted for either case. This decision comes as a relief for the Konyaspor administration during a challenging start to the season. The club can now focus fully on improving its sporting results without the distraction of a disciplinary process.
What penalties did other clubs receive?
The PFDK's decisions encompassed several Süper Lig and 1. Lig clubs beyond Konyaspor. Beşiktaş was handed a total fine of 3,500,000 TL for statements by club officials and official accounts on social media and video platforms deemed damaging to the reputation of football and institutions. Beşiktaş President Serdal Adalı received a 15-day deprivation of rights, while administrator Hakan Daltaban was given a 20-day deprivation of rights and a 2,500,000 TL fine. Trabzonspor President Ertuğrul Doğan, referred over statements made after the Başakşehir match, faced no penalty.
Galatasaray received a warning and an away stand closure penalty for ugly chanting, plus a 75,000 TL fine for a stairwell violation. Erzurumspor FK was penalized with a stand closure and a total fine of 430,000 TL for stairwell and banner violations. Kocaelispor faced stand closure decisions and a total fine of 430,000 TL for stairwell violations and pitch incidents. Amed Sportif Faaliyetler received a warning, a stand closure penalty, and a 280,000 TL fine for pitch incidents.
In individual sanctions, Gaziantep FK player Juninho Gracielo Bacuna was suspended for 2 official matches for a serious foul. The sanction of blocking the electronic tickets of spectators in blocks where ugly chanting occurred was applied to Eyüpspor, Gaziantep FK, Corendon Alanyaspor, and Göztepe.
What is Konyaspor's current league standing?
Konyaspor, which escaped PFDK punishment, has not had the desired start to the 2026-2027 Süper Lig season. The team has lost both of its opening matches, sitting in 17th place with 0 points. Having scored 2 goals and conceded 5 in two games, Konyaspor's goal difference stands at -3. The Anatolian Eagle trails league leaders Gençlerbirliği S.K. by 6 points and needs to quickly reverse its form. The team's next fixture, as listed on our fixtures page, is an away match against Göztepe on December 13, 2026. Göztepe currently occupies 14th place in the table.
This ruling removes a significant burden for Konyaspor. The team can now direct all its attention to climbing the league table and improving a position you can follow on our standings page. The disciplinary inquiry process that clouded the club's early season has concluded with a positive outcome. Supporters will expect the team's focus to now be squarely on its on-pitch performance.
