The Turkish football federation has canceled a league game between Besiktas and Bursapor due to pre-match violence between supporters that resulted in 25 policemen receiving minor injuries.
Gov. Sahabettin Harput of the northwestern city of Bursa says nine other people have also been injured.
The clashes erupted Saturday when police prevented Bursaspor fans from assualting Besiktas supporters in an apparent revenge attack following last year's street fights in Istanbul.
No Besiktas fans were injured but the clashes trapped the team's players in their hotel.
