The Turkish National Football Team will face the Netherlands today at 22:00 in the EURO 2024 quarter-final match.

Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM) Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu shared a post on his social media account ahead of the national match.

Referring to the 2-match suspension given by UEFA to Merih Demiral, who celebrated the victory against Austria with a 'Grey Wolf' gesture, İmamoğlu said, "We were wronged, we will claim our rights on the pitch."

Here is the post by İmamoğlu, who wished the national team success:

"We were wronged, we will claim our rights on the pitch. We have great confidence in our Turkish National Football team; I wish them success against the Netherlands tonight. Hoping you bring joy to our beautiful country that we love with passion, our hearts beat with you. 86 million are with you."
