The is the national football team of
Turkey and is controlled by the
Turkish Football Federation . The team's highest achievement was the 3rd place at the
World Cup of
Japan and
South Korea in
2002 .
Turkey is located in both
Europe and
Asia , but the Turkish team only plays in
European Championship s (not the
Asian Cup ) and European World Cup qualifiers.
Turkey qualified for the
1954 World Cup after a play-off with
Spain . They beat
South Korea 7-0 before losing a play-off to
West Germany 7-2.
Despite the introduction of a national league which would flourish, and respectable showings by Turkish clubs in European competition, the 1960s would be a barren time for the national team. The 1970s saw Turkey hold their own in World Cup and European Championship qualifiers without threatening to qualify.
The 1980s saw Turkey plunge to new depths with two 8-0 defeats to
England . Yet the
1990 World Cup qualifiers would mark a turning point for Turkish football, with Turkey only missing out on qualification in the final game. The rising fortunes of Turkish football over the next decade would be confirmed by third place at the
2002 World Cup .
