Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

The Turkish Football Federation will switch the Süper Lig and 1. Lig to a multi-ball system starting in the Süper Lig’s 12th week and the 1. Lig’s 15th week. Under the new rules, ball boys will no longer hand balls directly to players; instead, they must place them at designated stations along the sideline. The change is intended to speed up restarts and reduce time-wasting through quicker ball retrieval. It applies to Turkey’s top two professional divisions and will be watched for its effect on match tempo and added time.
