Following a decision by the PFDK, Afyonspor was declared to have forfeited the match against İskenderunspor, which was scheduled for January 26 in the 19th week of the Nesine 2nd League, for failing to appear on the pitch at the announced time.

The board also decided that from this match date forward, other teams scheduled to play against Afyonspor will be declared winners by default without having to play the matches.
