Fenerbahce's team bus was shot at by a gunman after the Turkish Super Lig leaders' 5-1 victory at Rizespor.
The driver was taken to hospital but no players
suffered any injuries in the attack, which happened while they were
travelling to Trabzon airport.
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu says an investigation is under way.
The Turkish Football Federation condemned the attack
and the club's general secretary Mahmut Uslu said the incident was "very
wrong". "We come here to do sport, we come to play football," Uslu said.
The governor of Trabzon, which is in the north-east of
Turkey, had initially said the bus appeared to have been hit by a stone
but he later released a second statement, saying it seemed to have been a
bullet.
Fenerbahce are the title holders and have won the competition 19
times, with former Premier League players Dirk Kuyt, Raul Meireles and
Emre in their side.
The Istanbul-based team went top of the table after their victory on Saturday, one point ahead of bitter rivals Galatasaray.
