Istanbul
The Nationals released an official statement
refute a rumor
Demiral (name)
The news of a two-match ban from UEFA says that the report by German media outlet Bild-Zeitung does not reflect the facts. The official announcement states that their period of defense will end tomorrow morning.
Earlier, German newspaper Bild reported that Demiral was banned for two matches by UEFA for using an inappropriate gesture to celebrate against Austria. The gesture, which is linked to the far-right nationalist organization Grey Wolves, has been banned in France and Austria since 2019.
The Turkish national team's disavowal announcement makes it clear that these reports are inaccurate and that Demiral has not been banned. This statement will further clarify the controversy regarding Demiral's celebratory behavior.
