HERE ARE KEREM AKTÜRKOĞLU’S STATEMENTS
“Thank God! It’s been 24 years. We were always dreaming of these moments. We were talking about 2002, dreaming about it. Most of us don’t even remember 2002. Now, we will make our brothers and sisters dream about the 2026 World Cup. We want to make our country and nation proud. Everyone gets along so well with each other. There is no problem. We had only one goal, we achieved it today. Let it be a gift to our nation.”
“The World Cup was the dream of all of us. Even when you dream of becoming a football player, you dream of the World Cup. We need to keep our feet on the ground. We must go to every World Cup for a quality, deserving country like us. I hope we will be very successful. We will go there to succeed.”
