What happened in Turkish football today? 23/03/2022



Turkey would be aiming to get surprising result against Portugal.

Turkish National Team are going to meet against Portugal during World Cup Qualifiers Final Four Patch C game at the semi-final game as it would be playing against side which is being strong favourite.

Without doubt, Turkey does need to come out into the field with being aware who are they opponents and hence provide strong respect to Portugal which in other words means that it needs to provide strong confident game but not over exerating. It needs to be mentioned that even through Galatasaray has been relegated from Barcelona, it did provide confident strong performance which did come from such tactical game and similar game could be key, as its been 1-game also could even opportunity to get winning scoreline during 90, 120 minutes or even at penalty. As been noted, beforehand Portugal is being side which would be feeling under pressure and to some extend with strong organised game from Turkey, Portugal would even feel from much more pressure in this fixture.

Turkey are coming out as underdogs but there is small opportunity for them to get surprise from this game for sure.

Turkey has announced its bid for Euro 2028.

Turkey has announced its candidacy for Euro2028 as host country as UEFA started accepting candidate countries for election which would be taking place on at the end of 2023.

Turkey has provided candidacy to run either Euro or World Cup for long time and even through there were times when it got closer at winning bid, it didnt yet host any of this tournaments but does history of Istanbul hosting Champions League and Europa League finals. It needs to be mentioned that Turkey does have strong infrastructure at its disposal but even through our blog one of aims is to get interest of Turkish football we need to admit that there some negative aspects. Turkish football performance in recent years has been in decline which would not be looked war by UEFA. Even through there been times when tournament been hosted at countries which might not be referred as football nations, it did show preferance to them for long time.

Turkey does have some advantages for this bid but it needs to improve on its disadvantages without doubt.

TFF has allowed to sign foreign players from Ukraine and Russian league until 7th April

TFF has went into FIFA rule of allowing foreign players who are currently among Russian and Ukrainian clubs to sign new contracts outside of country until 7th April.

The decision did come with 2 parts which is being for stoppage of Ukrainian leagues and other sport activities to be stopped in whole country as expected due of ongoing war taking place in country, while Russia move has been due of most of foreign players and also FIFPro suggesting for many foreign players leaving country as sign of protest. Even through high number of players did stay, Krasnodar is currently being without foreign player as sign of content. Due of this, FIFA and UEFA has provided such exception to transfers so players will not be left without club. TFF even through with delay, did announce that it would be running with such decision. 

Even through there been some rumours of players from that countries coming to Turkey, it still not being clear if Turkish clubs would sign any players from Ukraine and Russia during this period.
