What happened in Turkish football today? 28/06/2024



Turkey didnt lose single game with Artur Soares Dias referee.

UEFA has appointed Artur Soares Dias as referee for Euro 2024 last 16 game between Turkey and Austria as named referee doesnt have very good statistics with Turkish National Team.

It needs to be mentioned that Artur Soares Dias only provided bad luck during his game as Turkey didnt manage to win single game with his refereeing and hence team would be hence hoping that referee would be providing fair work during this tournament. Stating that Artur Soares Dias does provide good refereeing performance at this tournament as does most of the names and at being such important game at important tournament it would be reasonable that referee would be concentrated at showing fair performance and provide an important role for game to be excited.

The news of negative statistics would likely be noticed by players prior to game but it would be important for them to focus into performance.

Halil Umut Meler has been appointed to Slovakia and England game.

Another referee appointment for Euro 2024, has been an appointment for Halil Umut Meler at last 16 game between Slovakia and England as this would be 3rd game for Meler in this tournament.

It needs to be mentioned that Halil Umut Meler does provide strong and confident performance at this tournament as this being rewarded without doubt from UEFA as he did get 3rd game in the tournament and also been appointed as 4th referee at last game against England so he would be meeting with three lions once again. Being such crucial game at such crucial stage, Halil Umut Meler who did come from difficult previous season to show confident and strong performance and show once again as top referee. 

Halil Umut Meler without doubt is having very good tournament and would be expected to carry on such high performance at game between Slovakia and England.

Turkey is eager to get revenge of 6:1 loss to Austria

As long-term followers of our accounts and also generally Turkish football, would be loss of Turkey to Austria back in March against Austria with 6:1 scoreline and it does look like training camp is been motivated from that game.

It needs to be reminded that it was friendly game so such results can come occassionally but regardless of that result did leave some bad marks in the team and hence it would provide extra motivation to the players and it would be important for those players to turn around this motivation and eager for revenge into positive and team to stay focussed. Austria is being difficult opponent as it being among best sides at the tournament and did lead tough group which included Holland and France at the top, but Turkey does have capacity to get good result but it would be tough game for sure.

Players are eager to get revenge from last game between sides of 6:1 and its crucial now for technical staff to turn this extra motivation into an advantage.
