Wilfred Ndidi Criticizes Officiating and Faces Potential Ban

Following Beşiktaş's 1-0 defeat to Istanbul rivals Fenerbahçe, Nigerian midfielder Wilfred Ndidi publicly questioned the standard of refereeing during the match. The controversy stems from the late penalty awarded to Fenerbahçe in stoppage time. Ndidi's open criticism of the match officials has drawn scrutiny from league authorities, and he is reportedly facing a potential one-match suspension. If the ban is enforced, Ndidi will be unavailable for Beşiktaş's upcoming Süper Lig fixture against Antalyaspor, scheduled for April 10, 2026.
