YUSUF DEMIR’S NATIONAL TEAM STATUS
Asked whether Yusuf Demir, who wears the Galatasaray jersey, can play in the A National Football Team, President Büyükekşi said, “Because he played for the Austrian National Team 4 times, he cannot play in the Turkish National Team. According to the FIFA rules, he can play in the National Team. There doesn’t seem to be any possibility,” he replied.
