UEFA Disqualified Defender Of Turkish National Team For Two Matches

The UEFA disciplinary authority disqualified the football player of the Turkish national team Merich Demiral for the demonstration of the Gray Wolves gesture during the 1/8 finals of Euro 2024 against the Austria national team.

UEFA said that the defender of the Turkish national team was punished “for violating the basic rules of conduct and for damage to the reputation of football”.

Meanwhile, the Turkish Football Federation intends to appeal the UEFA decision.

If UEFA leaves his decision in force, demiral will miss the meeting of the 1/4 finals of the European Championship against the Netherlands team, as well as the euro semifinals, if the Turkish national team tries to this stage.
