Due to the failure of our representatives in Europe in recent years, Turkey had regressed to 19th place in the UEFA country score ranking.
At the national team level, the Crescent-Stars, who finally drew 3-3 with Luxembourg and then lost 2-1 to the Faroe Islands, dropped three places with 1460.14 points and took the 45th place.
WHAT IS THE CLUB TEAMS?
We are represented by Trabzonspor and Fenerbahçe in the Europa League, and Başakşehir and Sivasspor in the Conference League.
Fenerbahce from the Europa League collected four points in the first two games and Trabzonspor collected three points. Başakşehir scored six points in the two games played in the Conference League, and Sivasspor scored three points.
HOW WAS THE SITUATION BEFORE THE MATCHES?
Before the Europa League and Conference League matches of our representatives, Ukraine, represented in Europe with three teams, was in the 15th place with 26.7 points. Ukraine is followed by Russia, which is not represented in Europe with any team due to the penalty it received from FIFA with 26.21 points.
In 17th place is Denmark, which is competing in Europe with three teams with 25.22 points. In 18th place was Croatia, which is in Europe with only one team with 25.15 points.
Turkey, represented by four teams in Europe, was in the 19th place before the last matches and had 25.1 points.
A GREAT OPPORTUNITY HAS BEEN
If three of our four teams competing in Europe had left the field with a victory, Turkey would be higher three places in the UEFA rankings. Apart from three wins, two wins and two draws would have been the same.
HOW IS THE CURRENT SITUATION?
Fenerbahçe, one of our representatives in Europe, won the victory, while Başakşehir returned with one point away from the road. Sivasspor and Trabzonspor left the field in defeat. After these results, Turkey moved up from 19th to 18th place with 25,700 points.
Denmark is ahead of Turkey with 25,825 points, while Russia is in 16th place. Croatia, which fell to 19th place behind Turkey, has 25,150 points.
