What happened in Turkish football today? 17/11/2023



Turkey will be able to check its strength at friendly against Germany. 

Turkish National Team will come out to international friendly game against Euro 2024 hosts Germany as this game without doubt would be an important test against one of the leading footballing nations prior to main tournament next summer.

Even through top spot at the Euro2024 qualifying stage is not being clear yet and likely to be case following last game against Wales at qualifying round, it could be stated that Turkey are currently preparing for final tournaments and so as German National Team during this period as being host its not going through qualifying round. Hence, it would be expected for Vincenzo Montella to be aiming to see level of players and how much they can compete with Germany and get even more idea following previous qualifying game. The game itself being friendly might not be very important but it would be crucial for Montella to get some ideas into tactical game for next summer and also for players to send important message to coach for next summer selection.

Hence, this game would be big help to see current strength and potentiality of Turkish National Team for sure.

Galatasaray has send request to change venue of Turkish Super Cup.

Galatasaray has send official letter towards TFF requesting for location for Turkish Super Cup against Fenerbahce to be moved from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to Istanbul Olympic Stadium.

There has been lots of talks regarding for TFF deciding to play game in Saudi Arabia while country is celebrating 100th anniversary of Turkish Republic in this year and hence has been shown to be unacceptable to play in foreign country from both clubs. Even through TFF CEO Mehmet Buyukeksi states that approval did come from both clubs, clubs themselves state that they were not aware of it and are calling of change straight away. For now, and also due of deal to be signed, TFF are still consdiring to pay in Riyadh but clubs are showing strong protest.

It does look like this game venue would be on topic until it would be played on 29th December and we would follow all developments.

Good news from Besiktas injured players.

Besiktas head coach Riza Calimbay has made a crucial message stating that injured players Cenk Tosun, Vincent Aboubakar would be able to resume to training session during this week while Zaynutdinov will be able to play with mask.

As Besiktas aims to show strong comeback into race of leadership after national team break, condition of its key players is being important right now and Calimbay did provide some good news as he states that both Cenk Tosun and Vincent Aboubakar would be able to resume training session within week and chances that they would be able to play after break is pretty high while Zaynudtinov broken nose and below eye issue could be solved with protective mask.
