The traditional sport in Turkey is oil wrestling, but the most popular sport is football. Turkey's top teams are Galatasaray, Besiktas and Fenerbache. Galatasaray won the Uefa Cup in 2000 and Turkey's national team managed to finish third in the 2002 World Cup in Japan and they have a pretty good team.
The culture of Turkey is ver similar to the culture of Cyprus since they lived together for many years. Many words we have are similar to theirs. The most popular sport in Cyprus is football too. We also have a good team but we never made the World Cup. Turkey has managed to go to the World Cup many times. Galatasaray is one of the most known and good teams in the world and they are also known for their fans.
Their fans are also very similar to Greek fans. They are 'hooligans' I would say. They could die for their team adn do crazy things. Their home games are always intense and it is very difficult to leave their stadium victorious due to the great atmosphere the fans provide for their players. Galatasaray is also the most successful Turkish team and they hold a record number of championship leagues. It is also the only Turkish team to ever win a major European trophy (UEFA Cup).
