A gunman attacked a general meeting of Turkish Super Lig team Ankaragucu, injuring four people in the process, according to Hurriyet Daily News.
The beleaguered club had met in order to elect a new chairman, and although Muhammet Haluk Ilhan was eventually chosen for the role, the congress was marred by violence.
Police officials have stated that the assailant was arrested, but have declined the opportunity to name him.
Anakaragucu have considerable financial problems and currently sit at the bottom of Turkey's top flight, nine points behind Samsunspor.
This is not the first time a Turkish club official has been the subject of a gun attack in recent history, after Trabzonspor's vice president Nevzat Sakar was shot in the leg in January.
