The Turkish national football team beat Austria with two spectacular goals from Merih Demiral to qualify for the quarterfinal stage and was paired with the Netherlands. After UEFA banned Merih Demiral for 2 matches for his goal celebration with the sign of the Grey Wolf, the Turkish Armed Forces sent a message of support to the national team to prevent demoralization.
Mehmetçik sent a message of support to Turkey A national football team
On behalf of the Turkish Armed Forces, our soldiers from the Turkish Land Forces, Turkish Air Force and Turkish Naval Forces published a message of support for our national football team before the EURO 2024 quarterfinal match against the Netherlands.
The messages of the soldiers of the Turkish Armed Forces to the A national football team were as follows:
- “Wherever there is the glorious Turkish flag, there is pride and success. As heroic Turkish commandos, we wish our national football team success in the quarterfinals of the European Championship!”
- “From Sulh Tepe base area, we wish success to our national team!”
- “Greetings from the Blue Homeland with our love for our flag, which takes its color from the blood of our martyrs! We wish success to our national football team in the 2024 European Championship.”
- “The steel wings of the sky homeland wish success to the national team!”
- “From the base zone, we wish success to our national team!”
Although the Turkish Football Federation appealed, UEFA did not back down from the punishment given to Merih Demiral and Merih will not be able to play in this match. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will also attend the match.
The support of the national team by the Turkish soldiers was touching. Do not miss the EURO 2024 quarterfinal match against the Netherlands, which will be played at 22.00 this evening.
