The assailants escaped and the motive for the attack was not known.
In April, shots were fired at Fenerbahce's team bus while traveling to the airport from an away game in the northern city of Trabzon. The driver was hit in the face and hospitalized.
Soccer authorities suspended league and cup matches for a week following the incident.
