5 times football team buses were attacked

4) Fenerbahce bus shot at (2015)

The Fenerbache team had a close escape after their bus was attacked by a gunman

Fenerbache had just won 5-1 away at Caykur Rizespor and secured their position at the top of the table in the Turkish Super Lig ahead of arch-rivals Galatasaray. The bus was shot at by a gunman on its way to the airport, injuring the driver who later died in hospital.

The Turkish league was suspended for a week after the attacks as Fenerbache promised not to play again till the assailants were caught. Midfielder Mehmet Topal was of the opinion that the players had cheated death and got through the incident with only God’s protection.
