Fenerbahçe Files Protest Over Osimhen’s Protective Gear Ahead of Galatasaray Derby

Fenerbahçe has officially complained to the Turkish Football Federation over Victor Osimhen’s protective equipment ahead of the derby with Galatasaray. The club argues that the striker’s arm and body guards may not comply with safety standards and could endanger opponents during physical contact. According to Turkish media, Fenerbahçe submitted a detailed technical dossier after days of review. They claim certain materials in Osimhen’s dual-layer protective design fall outside the regulations set by the International Football Association Board. Galatasaray insiders reject the challenge, insisting the gear meets international safety requirements. They note similar equipment is widely used by players returning from injury and has never been banned. The federation’s pending decision will hinge on its interpretation of on-field equipment rules.
