ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Players and officials from Galatasaray, including coach Fatih Terim, and Fenerbahce were suspended for up to eight matches by the Turkish FA's disciplinary board (PFDK) after a mass brawl broke out at the end of last Friday's Super League fixture.

Members of both teams were seen exchanging blows after they ran on to the pitch following the 2-2 draw, while sections of the crowd hurled abuse and booed from the stands.
