A football club based in the predominantly Kurdish province of Diyarbakır has been fined for a Kurdish-language advertising slogan on its jerseys, the Stockholm Center for Freedom reported, citing Turkish media. The Turkish Football Federation’s (TFF) disciplinary board fined Amedspor 110,000 lira ($2,650) after the team wore the jerseys during a September 25 match, citing a violation of sporting equipment regulations. Club officials said the TFF officially approved the use of Kurdish slogan “Koma me bona we” (Our group is for you) throughout the 2025–26 season, on September 12. Calling the fines “unjust and unlawful,” the club said using Kurdish words in a commercial slogan is not prohibited under law and that they will challenge the decision. Turkish officials described the move as a potential step toward lasting peace.
