'Soccer authorities in Turkey may have hit on the perfect solution for unruly fans: Ladies Night!
The Turkish Football Federation had planned to make Istanbul favorite Fenerbahce play two games in an empty stadium after fans invaded the pitch after a friendly against Ukraine's Shakhtar Donetsk during the summer, according to a Turkish Weekly report.
But new rules say those games will be open only to women and children under age 12, National Turk reports. Admission is free.*
The policy got its first test Tuesday night in Istanbul, as 45,000 women and children turned out to watch Fenerbahce and Manisaspor face off in the Turkish Super League.
