Turkish fans support both teams during World Cup match

Thousands of Turkish fans turned out on Sunday to support both teams during a World Cup match. The large turnout highlighted the dual allegiances of many spectators who felt a strong connection to both of the nations playing in the game.[1][2]

One fan at the match expressed this shared loyalty, explaining that they consider themselves to be both an Australian and a Turk at the same time. The spectator noted that they respect Australia as their home country but also identify as a Turk, asking why they should not support both sides.[1][2]
