What happened in Turkish football today? 21/03/2024



Hungary is being good test prior to Euro 2024.

Turkish National Team is going to play its first friendly game during this international team break against Hungary which is being a good opponent for themselves and would help them to test their strength prior to Euro 2024.

It needs to be mentioned that Hungary is being one of the teams which is being improving its football national team performance and did have some good performance at previous Euro's and with Turkey looking to make team which would bring them back into level which was shown last time at Euro 2004,it would be good opponent for them to check how they could be performing in such level. With lots of young players has been called who can potentially be selected to national team at Euro 2024, there would be good opportunity to check how they would perform against opponent like Hungary.

Hence, this game would be good opportunity for both sides to show some positive and strong performance prior to Euro 2024 and players hence would give good effort. 

Semih Kilicsoy and Ahmetcan Kaplan have move to youth side at Turkish National Team.

Turkish National Team players Semih Kilicsoy and Ahmetcan Kaplan has been send to under-21 side as team would be playing crucial game Euro qualifier against Georgia in that tier.

This decision could be however criticised as those 2 players does have potential to be selected for Euro 2024 and hence would lose an opportunity to get adapted more and show their skills too Vincenzo Montella at upcoming friendlies game, but in same time due of good performance in this period and also legitimacy they have been selected for very important qualifier game at lower level so this could be seen in both ways. Besiktas administrator meanwhile did criticise pretty active for such decision and it could be leading for response from TFF which could make case even more clearer of this decision. 

It is clear that decision did come between talks of two national team and coaching stuff and hence and hopefully its been made in thoughtful actions with interests of players.

Mehmet Buyukeksi states that currently Super Cup is scheduled to 7th April

TFF CEO Mehmet Buyukeksi has announced that Turkish Super Cup game between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce would be played on 7th April according to current case but it did recieve request to postpone date.

Sanliurfarspor CEO did announce that there is possibility that date of game would be moved to 6th April as there were some active talks but TFF CEO Mehmet Buyukeksi has stated that game would be played as scheduled on  7th April for now. Still, he did state that club did recieve a request from Fenerbahce to postpone date and federation would be going through that request and positivities. As it is known, TFF want to change date due of Conference League games against Olympiakos to be played  on 10th April.

It does look that talks regarding date of game would be continued in upcoming days and our account would follow all developments.
