All football-related activities have been suspended indefinitely to significantly slow the spread of the coronavirus.
The decision was taken on Thursday by the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) after president Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s meeting with the minister of youth and sports Dr Mehmet Muharrem Kasapoglu in Ankara.
According to a release on the TFF website, the situation regarding Covid-19 and its effect will be monitored by the relevant bodies, while a new calendar for the leagues and competitions will be determined later.
