Fenerbahce's team bus was shot at by a gunman after the Turkish Super Lig leaders' 5-1 victory at Rizespor.

The driver was taken to hospital but no players suffered any injuries in the attack, which happened while they were travelling to Trabzon airport.

The Turkish Football Federation condemned the attack and the club's general secretary Mahmut Uslu described the incident as "very wrong".

"We come here to do sport, we come to play football," Uslu said.




The governor of Trabzon, which is in the north-east of Turkey, had initially said the bus appeared to have been hit by a stone but he later released a second statement, saying it seemed to have been a bullet.

"The latest situation is that it appears to be a gun," governor Abdulcelil Oz said. "It is too soon to say anything definite, but it appears to be a type of bullet fired by a rifle."

Just seen it in Twitter. Unconfirmed reports that the driver has now passed away.

If true then its totally tragic, people should not risk their lives watching football

Nothing from the official news agencies on that yet though. I can only find two Twitter pages that are claiming it now, the largest only has 1.5k following.

Nonetheless, scary business.
