Football in Turkey is incredibly popular and a number of big clubs are of Turkish origin. However, results for the national team seem lagging compared to the large potential in Turkey. A country with a large and growing population as well as a country being very interested in football. The Turkish clubs find it hard to compete in Europe due to the large inflow of money in the mayor European leagues and top clubs. However, the level in Turkish is quite high and the game is played with a high level of intensity. The national team usually wears a white home jersey and a red away jersey. Occasionally they switch the two around but since the colors of the flag are red and white the color scheme is pretty much pre-defined.
