In December 2023, Meler was hospitalised after being attacked at the end of a Super Lig match between MKE Ankaragücü and Çaykur Rizespor, an incident that led to a week-long suspension of all Turkish league football.
He will be joined by fellow countrymen Emre Eyisoy and Kerem Ersoy as the assistant referees.
