Referee Halil Umut Meler, assaulted during a Super Lig match, spoke to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan from his hospital bed. Ankaragucu president Faruk Koca faces arrest for punching Meler, prompting the Turkish Football Federation to suspend all leagues. The Justice Minister confirmed Koca's formal arrest for "injuring a public official." Koca attacked Meler after Rizespor's late equalizer, leading to chaos on the pitch. Ankaragucu, its officials, and attackers face strong punishment. FIFA President Gianni Infantino condemned the incidents as "totally unacceptable" and unsuitable for sports or society.
