The last time the Turks played at the World Cup was back in 2002, when they took a great third place in Japan and South Korea and won the only medal so far.
Today, 24 years later, the great generation led by Ardo Guler wants to reach the very top of world football.
On that trip, they were seen off in a spectacular way by their compatriots who gave them an unforgettable farewell in Istanbul. Really, unreal scenes…
A kilometer-long convoy of Turkish fans followed their heroes to the airport, where they flew across the ocean to America.
As a reminder, the Turkish team will play in Group D against the hosts USA, Paraguay and Australia, with whom they will open the competition on June 14.
