The Turkish Football Federation’s Central Referee Committee announced the referees who will officiate in week 6 of the Trendyol Süper Lig. Batuhan Kolak will referee the Trabzonspor-Galatasaray match at 20.00 on Saturday, September 19.
Halil Umut Meler was assigned to the Kocaelispor-Gaziantep FK match, while Atilla Karaoğlan was appointed for the İstanbul Başakşehir-Gençlerbirliği match. On Sunday, September 20, Kadir Sağlam will officiate the Fenerbahçe-Eyüpspor match, while Ali Şansalan will take charge of the Amed Sportif Faaliyetler-Beşiktaş match. The referees for week 6 of the Trendyol 1. Lig were also announced.
Why it matters
The referee appointments clarify the officiating plan for the sixth-week schedules in the Süper Lig and 1. Lig, allowing clubs and fans to see which referee will be in charge of each match. In particular, the selections for the Trabzonspor-Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe-Eyüpspor and Amed Sportif Faaliyetler-Beşiktaş matches determine the refereeing responsibilities for the week’s most prominent fixtures. According to the Council notes, the list based on the Central Referee Committee’s announcement has been conveyed in full in terms of names, dates and times. However, the discrepancy between the match schedule given in the source for September 19 and 20 and the reference to Thursday, September 17 means the calendar needs to be verified separately before publication.
