Spor, which had recently formed their women's football team,^[5] and was later renamed to Amed She played for the first time in the 2011–12 Women's Second League.

Discipline for displaying V sign

Alçu and two of her teammates of Diyarbakır B.B.

The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) interpreted the action as an insulting sign of ideological expression for Kurdish separatism of the team members from Diyarbakır and referred the case to the Disciplinary Board of the TFF.^[10]

Upon reactions and public indignation, the TFF stepped back. It called the club officials in the late hours of March 26, 2015, and informed that the disciplinary inquiry launched against the four women footballers was lifted.^[11]
