Images also appeared to show an object believed to be intended for use as a weapon was in the hand of the initial attacker as he was confronted by security staff.
The violence comes barely three months after the Super Lig was suspended when referee Halil Umut Meler was attacked by MKE Ankaragucu president Faruk Koca.
Fifa president Gianni Infantino said in a statement on X, formerly Twitter: “The violence witnessed after the Turkish Süper Lig match between Trabzonspor and Fenerbahçe is absolutely unacceptable – on or off the field, it has no place in our sport or society.
“I have said it before, and I will say it again – without exception, in football, all players have to be safe and secure to play the game which brings such joy to so many people all over the world,” he said.
“I call on the relevant authorities to ensure that this is respected at all levels and for the perpetrators of the shocking events in Trabzon to be held accountable for their actions.”
