Despite the Turkish national team's disappointing performance at the 2026 World Cup, the squad's players can still look forward to some eye-popping rewards.
Details: The federation president confirmed that each player will be gifted an elite villa in Bodrum, along with cash bonuses amounting to roughly $16 million.
The federation chief underscored the seriousness of his commitment:
“I will keep my word. All necessary paperwork has already been approved, so construction will begin soon.”
It’s worth noting that Turkey managed to earn just 3 points in their group and exited the tournament after only two rounds.
Reminder: The 2014 World Cup champion could take charge of Turkish football.
