The federation has appointed Prof. Dr. Orta as the head of the Central Refereeing Committee.

Halil İbrahim Dinçdağ, a publicly declared gay referee candidate who has been barred from professional soccer leagues in Turkey, received an offer to officiate games in Gazoz League, Turkey's alternative soccer league.

Former referee Dinçdağ opened a trial against the Turkish Football Federation because he was kicked out of the referee staff when it turned out that Dinçdağ is homosexual. The federation claimed that "persons exempt from military service cannot be appointed as referees".
