The Turkish Football Federation promptly suspended both Orhan Erdemir and Elif Karaarslan from their positions in response to the video, which went viral on social media.
The termination of the licenses for both names supported the claims that Orhan Erdemir and referee Elif Karaaslan were involved in a s*x scandal that allegedly occurred approximately a year ago. Regarding the incident, there has been a fresh development that is still on the agenda.
Elif Karaaslan, who is suspected of being the one who spread the photos, claimed in a statement that she did not look like the person in the pictures and that her body did not fit her. Karaaslan asserted that artificial intelligence was used to develop the photos and promised to do the task in the most forceful and robust manner possible under the law.
Karaarslan started her football career at Libadi Sports Club and then played for Bakirkiyi Gençlikspor and the esteemed Beşiktaş. She has made her mark in Turkey’s lower league circuits. Unfortunately, a terrible injury ended her playing career.

She had to reevaluate her future in sports after suffering a severe anterior cruciate ligament tear at the age of 16 while playing for Beşiktaş.
Elif made the decision to become an officiator after being motivated by the accomplishments of a foreign female referee she had liked on social media. She studied at the University of Marmara’s Faculty of Sports Sciences to make sure she was ready for her position in football and to set the foundation for her new career.
