The title race in the Spor Toto Super League may take a new twist this weekend when league leader Be?ikta? visits Trabzonspor on May 3 in Week 29 of the season.

Turkey?s top flight football will resume with a Ziraat Turkish Cup game on April 14 following a week-long hiatus in the wake of a gun attack on the Fenerbahçe team bus.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an held a highly unusual meeting with the captains of all of Turkey?s top flight football sides on April 12 over the status of the league a week after a gun attack on the Fenerbahçe team bus.

The team bus of Turkey's top men's handball side was attacked April 10 by unknown individuals who threw stones at its windows, days after a shooting attack on a top flight football club, reports said.
      
The Be?ikta? Mogaz bus was pelted with stones as the players were playing in an away match in the Mediterranean city of Mersin.
      

Two people detained over an armed attack on the bus of Turkish football team Fenerbahçe were released on probation on April 8, according to Rahmi Üstün, mayor of the Sümene district in the Black Sea province of Trabzon.

A Trabzon court ordered the release of the suspects due to a lack of concrete evidence connecting them to the gun attack.

Two suspects were detained early April 7 over an armed attack on Fenerbahçe?s team bus, Trabzon?s governor has announced.

Trabzon Gov. Abdil Celil Öz said the suspects, N.S. and E.A., were apprehended in the Sürmene district of Trabzon.

Fenerbahçe football team called April 5 for the suspension of the national league championship in response to an armed attack on its team bus as players returned from a match.
      
"We consider that as long as this attack is not solved in a way that satisfies Fenerbahçe and public opinion, a suspension of the championship is inevitable," the Istanbul club said on its website.

Spor Toto Super League leader Galatasaray is eyeing an easy victory at home against Karabükspor this weekend to extend its stay atop the league standings.

Be?ikta? will play against Fenerbahçe this weekend in a crucial game for the Spor Toto Super League title race, the only target the Istanbul club now has for this season after being knocked out of Europa League competition.

Fenerbahçe toppled its archrival Galatasaray 1-0 in the derby match in Turkey?s Spor Toto Super League on March 8, narrowing the gap in the league standings to one point behind the Lions, who still head the league.
