The Turkish Football Federation conducted a disciplinary hearing following the incident, where Bright Osayi-Samuel was among the three Fenerbahce players summoned. However, the verdict from the hearing, announced on Wednesday, absolved Osayi-Samuel of any wrongdoing.
The disciplinary measures were primarily directed towards Trabzonspor, who received a six-game ban and a fine of 112,000 TL for on-field events and failure to adhere to guidelines. Trabzonspor trainer Egemen Korkmaz and Fenerbahce player Irfan Can Egribat were handed one-game bans and fines for their involvement in the altercation.
While Bright Osayi-Samuel was cleared of any offense, his teammate Jayden Oosterwelde received a one-game ban and a fine of 5,000 TL for his role in the altercation and actions towards the stands.
Additionally, Fenerbahce administrators Kursat Ciftkik and Okan Ozkan were sanctioned with 15 days of deprivation of rights for their involvement in the altercation.
The verdict comes as a relief for Osayi-Samuel and Fenerbahce, as they can now focus on their upcoming fixtures without the distraction of disciplinary proceedings. Osayi-Samuel’s clearance allows him to continue contributing to Fenerbahce’s campaign without any suspension or penalty.
As Fenerbahce aims to maintain their position in the Turkish Super Lig, the resolution of this matter provides clarity and allows the club to move forward with their season objectives. Bright Osayi-Samuel, known for his defensive prowess, will be crucial to Fenerbahce’s success as they compete in both domestic and continental competitions.
