Trabzonspor president Ertugrul Dogan has been named among 147 football club officials to receive 45-day bans from the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) for breaching betting rules.

In September, it was announced 448 people had been provisionally suspended and referred to the TFF’s professional football disciplinary board over allegations they had placed bets while in office.

Like players and coaches, match officials are forbidden from participating in betting activities by TFF regulations, as well as those of Fifa and Uefa.

The TFF said the people involved had held posts at clubs in the top two divisions in Turkish football over the previous five years.

Of those, some 147 were found to have breached betting rules and will be barred from carrying out duties within football during the suspension period.

There were insufficient grounds for disciplinary action in the other 301 cases.

The Turkish football authorities have clamped down on betting in the sport over the last year.

In November 2025, 149 referees and 1,204 players were given bans following a TFF investigation.
