Altay Faces 18-Point Deduction and Relegation Threat Over Foreign Player Deadline

Altay will be hit with an 18-point deduction and possible relegation if it fails to sign new contracts with its four former foreign players by January 8. The club's management is racing to complete the necessary transfers before the deadline.

Such a penalty would jeopardize Altay's current league standing and keep it entrenched in the relegation zone. Football authorities are demanding full compliance with financial and administrative obligations.

The team is urgently seeking solutions to avoid a points loss before the season ends.
