2025 Turkish football betting scandal

The 2025 Turkish football betting scandal refers to an ongoing investigation into allegations of illegal sports betting involving referees, club presidents, and footballers in Turkish professional football that began 27 October 2025 in which the Turkish Football Federation announced that an internal audit found evidence suggesting widespread betting activity.

The scandal implicates hundreds of referees for violations of FIFA and UEFA integrity codes, prohibiting referees in any capacity from gambling, including simply holding betting accounts. Turkish Football Federation President İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu called the evidence "a milestone for Turkish football," and pledged to implement reforms aimed at restoring public confidence in officiating.
