“The matches in all leagues have been postponed indefinitely,” Turkish FA [TFF] chairman Mehmet Buyukeksi told a news conference.
“This attack is a night of shame for Turkish football,”
FIFA has also stepped in on the act, labeling the incident as ‘unacceptable’.
“Without match officials there is no football,” FIFA president Gianni Infantino said. “Referees, players, fans and staff have to be safe and secure to enjoy the game, and I call on the relevant authorities to ensure that this is strictly implemented and respected at all levels.”
The match official suffered minor injuries including a fracture on his eye.
