Amed

Amed SK, formerly Diyarbakır Büyükşehir Belediyespor, is a Turkish sports club based in Diyarbakır. The football club plays in the TFF Second League. It is the football club of Diyarbakır Metropolitan Municipality. In October 2014, they changed their name to Amedspor without official approval, and therefore have been fined by the Turkish Football Federation. In early 2016, Amedspor pulled off an upset win over Bursaspor to make it into quarterfinals of the Turkish Cup. After this victory their fans were banned from the following match against Fenerbahçe S.K. by the Turkish Football Federation. The TFF also suspended their midfielder Deniz Naki an unprecedented 12 games for Tweets and fined him with about 7000$. Also the police raided the club's offices taking their computers on suspicion that a politically controversial Tweet might possibly have originated from there. The club is appealing these heavy handed measures and if their appeal fails with the TFF they will likely take that appeal to the UEFA.
