== Discipline for displaying V sign ==
Alçu and two of her teammates of Diyarbakır B.B. Spor displayed V signs to the observers in the stadium at Erzincan after her team's win by an extraordinary score of 24–0 against the Samsun-based Gülizar Hasan Yılmaz Güz Vocational High School Spor in the playoff match of the Women's Third League on March 21, 2015. The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) interpreted the action as an insulting sign of ideological expression for Kurdish separatism of the team members from Diyarbakır and referred the case to the Disciplinary Board of the TFF.
Upon reactions and public indignation, the TFF stepped back. It called the club officials in the late hours of March 26, 2015, and informed that the disciplinary inquiry launched against the four women footballers was lifted.
