Fenerbahce call for suspension of Turkish league after team bus attack Sorry - this page has been removed.
(about 1 month later)
Fenerbahce have called for the national Turkish league to be suspended after their team bus was shot at following an away match against Rizespor on Saturday. This could be because it launched early, our rights have expired, there was a legal issue, or for another reason.
The bus driver was taken to hospital after being wounded in the attack, which took place as the team were heading to Trabzon before flying back to Istanbul, but no players were wounded.
In a statement released on Sunday, Fenerbahce described the attack as an “assassination attempt”, linking it to hostility in the wake of match-fixing allegations that have swirled around the club for months. For further information, please contact:
“It is a point where football comes to an end since blood has been spilled,” the statement read, demanding the perpetrators be found. “It is Fenerbahce’s opinion that the league must be postponed until this incident is cleared up and the feelings of Fenerbahce supporters are satisfied.”
Pictures from the state Anadolu agency in the wake of the attack showed the driver clutching at a head wound, shocked players and the windscreen of the coach, apparently damaged by a shotgun blast.
The reigning champions, Fenerbahce, had won the match 5-1.
