What happened in Turkish football today? 23/03/2024

Turkey did show some possible signs against Hungary

Despite of losing to Hungary during international friendly game, it needs to be mentioned that Turkey did actually provide some positive performance and has shown lots of promises for tournament in Germany.

It could be seen unusual for Turkish National Team to be praised while losing game but there are two reasons which could be related to this which is being friendly game and even more important that Turkey did actually show good performance for 60 minutes. Only issue which could be mentioned in Turkish National Team that quite possibly it did miss ideal itattacking player who could provide that final touch during game but again it did have pretty good opportunities to find goal and couldnt overpass goalkeeper. Turkey did look to be pretty organised so as did Hungary abd wutg raising tempo at the field and also be more creative in attack could lead for Turkey to show much more effective performance at attack during Euro 2024.

Therefore, Turkey and Hungary did provide pretty good organised and promising game and did show some positive signs for Euro 2024.

Ridvan Yilmaz has been taken out of squad due of injury.

Turkish National Team player Ridvan Yilmaz who has become injured during friendly game against Hungary has been taken out of squad which could be having some negative impact as Yilmaz expects to be taking an important place at Euro 2024.

Ridvan Yilmaz who did have unlucky injury during game against Hungary has been taken out of squad and hence will not be able to play against Austria and would now return to Besiktas where he would be taking recovery process and his situation with injury would be evaluated as team also fights for 3rd spot. Announcement of his injury would likely to be made in upcoming days.

Besiktas for sure would be hoping that injury is not being serious of player as player would need to focus for recovery process.

Turkish Super Cup will be played on 7th April

TFF has announced that Turkish Super Cup game would be taking place on 7th April as advertised as it couldnt find any alternative days for game to be played.

Fenerbahce has requested for game to be postponed due of Conference League quarter-final 1st leg away game against Olympiakos and in fact did suggest for game to be moved to May but due of difficult scheduling and also preparation of team to Euro 2024 it did have trouble to find alternative days. Another reason which been provided is that Galatasaray has been lacking to change date and did focus into playing on 7th April which also played its role.

Therefore, TFF has kept original date of 7th April as game will be played in Sanliurfa.
