The Turkish Football Federation said in a statement, "The Turkish Football Federation's Board of Directors has decided to donate ticket proceeds from tomorrow's match between Turkey and Georgia, in Group 5 of the European qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, to the Gaza Strip, which is experiencing a humanitarian tragedy."
In its statement, the Turkish Union reiterated its condemnation of the genocide committed by Israel in Gaza before the eyes of the world.
The 23rd edition of the World Cup will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico from June 11 to July 19, 2026, with 48 teams participating for the first time.
With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 8, 2023, leaving 67,869 martyrs and 170,105 wounded, most of them children and women, and causing a famine that claimed the lives of 463 Palestinians, including 157 children.
