The number of games Trabzonspor will have to play without fans has been reduced from six matches to four following an appeal.

A six-match fan ban had been imposed on the Turkish Super Lig club after their supporters stormed the pitch and fought with Fenerbahce players on 17 March.

The club’s fine has also been reduced from £74,105 to £11,066.

One-match suspensions for Fenerbahce players Can Egribayat and Jayden Quinn Oosterwolde have been upheld.

The Fenerbahce pair clashed with supporters at Papara Park in Trabzon after the full-time whistle.

Twelve fans were arrested following the incident.

Fenerbahce considered leaving the Turkish Super Lig following the melee, but members voted against doing so last week.

Fenerbahce are second in the Turkish Super Lig, two points behind leaders Galatasaray with seven matches to play, while Trabzonspor are third, 30 points behind Fenerbahce.
