Turkish Soccer Club President Arrested For Socking Referee After Game

Faruk Koca Halil Umut Meler

The president of a high-level Turkish soccer club was arrested on Tuesday ... after he socked a referee right in the face following a match on Monday.

Faruk Koca, who was elected as Ankaragucu soccer club's prez in 2021, was seen on video attacking the official after his squad's Super Lig home game against Rizespor at Eryaman Stadium.

Cameras showed that right after the final whistle sounded on the 1-1 draw, Koca sprinted onto the field and threw a massive punch that landed flush with Halil Umut Meler's left eye.
