The Turkey national football team (Turkish: Trkiye Mill Futbol Takm; officially recognized as Trkiye by FIFA)[5][6] represents Turkey in men's international football matches. The team is controlled by the Turkish Football Federation (Turkish: Trkiye Futbol Federasyonu), the governing body for football in Turkey, which was founded in 1923 and has been a member of FIFA since 1923 and UEFA since 1962.[7]
The team enjoyed their highest achievements in the 2000s, most notably finishing in third place at the 2002 FIFA World Cup and the 2003 FIFA Confederations Cup, and reaching the semi-finals at UEFA Euro 2008. They qualified for the FIFA World Cup three times (1950,[b] 1954 and 2002) and reached the semi-finals in 2002, winning the bronze medal. The team qualified for the UEFA European Championship five times. Making their debut at Euro 1996, they reached the quarter-finals in Euro 2000 and semi-finals in Euro 2008. In recent years, Turkey qualified to the Euro 2016, Euro 2020 and Euro 2024 championships. Turkey also is qualified as a co-host for the Euro 2032 championship.

In 1990, coach Sepp Piontek was put in charge of the national team. Under his guidance, a group of new players debuted for the national team. Many of these players (which included Blent Korkmaz, Alpay zalan, Sergen Yaln, Rt Reber, and Hakan kr) would become the backbone of the national team for many years. Piontek's mission came to an end in 1993, when he was replaced by Fatih Terim, who in turn managed to qualify for Euro 1996. Turkey qualified for its first major tournament since 1954. The appointment of Piontek was a recommended move by another coach, Jupp Derwall, who had coached Galatasaray for three seasons.
The Turks failed to qualify for Euro 2004 after Latvia won the qualification play-offs. They also missed out on the 2006 World Cup after failing to win the play-offs, this time on away goals against Switzerland, again after finishing second in their group.
Turkey was drawn in UEFA Group 5 together with Armenia, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Estonia and Spain. Turkey had a mixed qualifying campaign, finishing with 15 points and missing out on a play-off place to Bosnia and Herzegovina with 19 points. Spain topped the group to qualify, winning every game in the process. Coach Fatih Terim announced he would be resigning his post following their failure to qualify.[28]
Turkey's kit colors were home red kits and white away kits, manufactured by Adidas, from 1982 to 2002. Nike became the manufacturer in 2003. 17 years later, they switched their kit colors to white for home kits and red as the away color.
Turkey also has a historical rivalry with Greece. Playing 14 times, Turkey won eight matches, drew thrice, and lost only three games.[69] Both countries have been described as "punching above their weight", with Greece winning Euro 2004 after being classified as underdogs before the competition, and Turkey advancing to the semi-finals of Euro 2008, where they were knocked out by Germany. Due to tension between the two countries and the dispute over Cyprus, coupled with several incidents occurring during matches between Turkish and Greek clubs, it has been described as one of the biggest international football rivalries.[70]
Turkey has a rivalry with Armenia, meeting four times, with Turkey winning three and drawing once. The root of the rivalry, however, traced further back to the Armenian genocide in 1915.[59] Due to massive disparity between the two sides, the rivalry is more relevant in Armenia than in Turkey.[59] Despite the indifference of Turkish populace toward Armenia, the rivalry is sometimes stressed to importance due to hostility between Armenia and Azerbaijan, with the latter sharing a common cultural and heritage link with Turkey.[59]
In 2002, the national team was honored with the Turkish "State Medal of Distinguished Service" for their third place achievement at the 2002 FIFA World Cup. All the team members, coaches and officials were given medals.[89]
One of the few pairs of schools in the history of college football in the United States to have played more than 100 games against each other, Knox and Monmouth surpassed that landmark in 1989 at the Knox Bowl. In all of NCAA Division III, the Prairie Fire and Fighting Scots were the fourth football rivals to have played more than 100 games. Knox led the series until 1992. Monmouth holds the edge of 64-50 for the Prairie Fire, although conflicting old stats imply the record could be 63-52. Prior to the Midwest Conference tie-breaker rule, there were 10 ties; the most recent, 3-3 in 1983. The 1991 Bronze Turkey game, a 13-7 win for Monmouth, was decided in overtime.
The football rivalry can be traced back as far as 1881 when a prediction appeared in the November issue of The Knox Student. "If an eleven was formed we might have a game or two with our Abingdon, Monmouth, and Lombard neighbors."
It was a quiet, peaceful, sunny afternoon at Old Siwash when suddenly the quiet was broken by the disparaging shout of a bunch of Monmouth boys who had appeared without warning to challenge Knox to a football game. In less time than it took the bloody dust to run off the field following the suicidal attempts of Monmouth to score, Knox had captured an early lead, and by the time the last of the silent figures from Monmouth had limped or were carried away to be bandaged or buried, Knox had won a victory.
In 1928, the rivalry gained an official symbol, a one-foot-high replica of a Thanksgiving turkey, recalling the days before the formation of the Midwest Conference, when the Knox-Monmouth game was played on Thanksgiving Day.
The turkey trophy was the brainchild of Bill Collins, '29, then a Knox player who, due to an injury, was working as a reporter for the Galesburg Register-Mail newspaper. "I felt the game needed some spice, and a trophy would do it," said Collins. He persuaded the publisher of the Register-Mail and the managing editor of the Monmouth Review-Atlas to each shell out $40 to purchase the trophy.
Since 1928, the travels and trials of the turkey have become legendary. When not won, it might be stolen. The turkey has spent time under lock and key, in glass cages, behind bars and even underground.
Stolen from Monmouth in 1941, it was found about five years later buried under the cinder track of the Monmouth gymnasium. Two students, presumably from Knox, later appropriated the trophy from Monmouth by posing as photographers. The original trophy disappeared yet again in 1983, when a vandal broke a display case at Monmouth, and in 1986 the Register-Mail provided a replacement trophy.
With the reappearance of the original trophy in 1993, the winner of the game now receives both trophies -- with the option to display only the replacement and keep the original safely stashed away. Further, the trophy is not awarded at the conclusion of game itself; the winner formally awards the Bronze Turkey(s) to itself at a later date.
One of the more unusual pranks surrounding the bird occurred in 1955. On the eve of the big game, 31 Monmouth raiders set out for the Knox campus. Monmouth's scoreboard had been stolen the night before and the deed was presumed to have been perpetrated by Knox students, even though later events pointed to an inside job. The mission of the six-car caravan was to paint "Beat Knox" signs on the Knox sidewalks and then burn a giant "M" into the grass of the Knox football field. However, the caravans mistook the Knox County Courthouse for part of the Knox campus and set ablaze the statue of the venerable and honored civil war nurse Mother Bickerdyke, located on the courthouse lawn. The townspeople of Galesburg weren't putting up with that kind of vandalism. The surprised Monmouth raiders were caught, found guilty of malicious mischief, fined and suspended from school for 21 days.
The Turkish Super Lig match between MKA Ankaragucu and Caykur Rizespor ended in a 1-1 draw on Monday after the visitors equalised in the last minute of added time. After the full-time whistle was blown, Ankaragucu President Faruk Koca rushed onto the pitch with a group of men and knocked out referee Halil Umut Meler with a blow to the left side of his face.
Meler was kicked several times in the ensuing melee, which occurred when fans invaded the pitch. The 37-year-old match official was shown standing minutes later with a black eye that had swelled up the left part of his face.
Meler, a respected referee with accreditation to officiate international matches, is expected to recover and join the refereeing crew of the Euro 2024 championship, to be held from June to July in Germany.
Violence in football is commonplace in Turkey despite efforts to clamp down on it although direct attacks on top-level referees are rare. Still, Buyukeksi blamed the attack on a culture of contempt towards referees.
These Cracked Out Turkey Pinwheels are totally addicting. I absolutely LOVE them! Cream cheese, cheddar, bacon, Ranch, and turkey wrapped in a tortilla. How could anyone not love these?!?!?! This homemade version is SO much better than the Costco turkey pinwheels AND a lot cheaper!
To make the sandwiches, mix together the cream cheese, ranch mix, bacon, and cheese. Add a splash of milk. Add as much as you need to make the mixture spreadable. Spread some of the cream cheese mixture over a tortilla, top with some sliced deli turkey and roll up tightly. Wrap the tortillas in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes and then slice.
I make these Cracked Out Turkey Pinwheels all the time and eat them as tortilla sandwiches for lunch or dinner. They are also PERFECT for tailgating and parties. They are super easy to make and will keep for several days in the fridge. Store the assembled tortillas wrapped in plastic wrap until you are ready to serve them. I take them to tailgates still wrapped and slice them when I get to the party.
Just made the cracked out turkey bacon cheddar ranch pinwheels for a retirement potluck. I know they will be a hit!! I have made Italian pinwheels before for 2 occasions, but these are outstanding ? 152ee80cbc
