Turkey's football authorities confirmed Wednesday the country was bidding to host the Euro 2024 football tournament, which would be the biggest sporting event it has ever held. Turkey in 2014 withdrew its bid to host final stage matches of Euro 2020 - which uniquely will be held across Europe - in favour of focusing on a one country bid for 2024.
The bid was announced at the headquarters of the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) in Istanbul by Sports Minister Akif Cagatay Kilic and TFF chief Yildirim Demiroren. Demiroren said the bid would be formally presented to UEFA on March 2, just before the deadline for candidates. "I hope the outcome will bring something beautiful for our country," said Kilic, emphasising the bid had been approved by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
