Mourinho Appeals Turkey's Football Federation to European Court

Former Fenerbahçe manager José Mourinho has lodged a complaint with the European Court of Human Rights, challenging the disciplinary sanctions imposed by the Turkish Football Federation after the November 2024 Trabzonspor match. Mourinho argues the penalties violate his rights and lack procedural fairness.

The Court has requested Turkey to provide relevant documents and a formal defense. The case could set a precedent for international oversight of national football governance.

Turkish authorities say they will cooperate while reviewing the legal implications.
