Shocking scenes unfolded in Turkish football on Monday night after Ankaragucu president Faruk Koca punched referee Halil Umut Meler on the field following his team's 1-1 draw with Caykur Rizespor.

The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) responded swiftly by suspending all league football indefinitely. TFF chairman Mehmet Buyukeksi called the incident "a night of shame for Turkish football" and added that "violence has no place in sports."

Meler suffered a minor fracture as a result of the attack and is expected to make a full recovery. Koca was detained and charged with assault.

This incident has sparked widespread condemnation both within Turkey and internationally. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called the attack "inhumane and despicable" and said that "sports means peace and brotherhood."
