The '''Turkish Football Federation''' ({{Langx|tr|Türkiye Futbol Federasyonu}}; '''TFF''') is the governing body of [[Football in Turkey|association football in Turkey]]. It was formed on 23 April 1923, and joined [[FIFA]] the same year and [[UEFA]] in 1962.<ref name="TFF FIFA UEFA Status">{{cite news|title=TFF » İş Ortakları|url=https://www.tff.org/default.aspx?pageID=356|publisher=Turkish Football Federation|access-date=2 September 2020|language=Tr|archive-url=https://archive.today/20200902113708/https://www.tff.org/default.aspx?pageID=356|archive-date=2 September 2020}}</ref> It organizes the [[Turkey national football team]], the [[Süper Lig|Turkish Football League]] and the [[Turkish Cup]].

==History==
===Hosting bids===
[[File:TFFRivaFacility (1).jpg|thumb|220px|Turkish Football Federation's Hasan Doğan National Teams Camp and Training Facility at [[Riva, Beykoz]] in [[Istanbul Province|Istanbul]].]]
Turkey have bid five times to host the [[UEFA European Football Championship|UEFA European Championship]].

Turkey submitted a joint bid with [[Greece]] for [[UEFA Euro 2008]], which failed. Their bid for [[UEFA Euro 2012]] was also unsuccessful, with the competition going to [[Poland]] and [[Ukraine]]. The federation also submitted a bid to host [[UEFA Euro 2016]], but UEFA announced that [[UEFA Euro 2016|Euro 2016]] would be hosted by [[France]]. Turkey were also bidding for [[UEFA Euro 2024]], competing against [[Germany]]. Germany were announced the hosts. Turkey will host the [[UEFA Euro 2032]], alongside Italy (both previously bid against each other for 2016), given Turkey to finally host a UEFA Euro on their fifth attempt.

Turkey had already hosted the [[2005 UEFA Champions League final|2005 UEFA Champions League Final]], the [[2023 UEFA Champions League final|2023 UEFA Champions League Final]], and the [[2009 UEFA Cup Final]] all played in [[Istanbul]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/5407664.stm|title=BBC: Man City stadium given Uefa final|date=4 October 2006|work=BBC News|access-date=6 January 2010}}</ref> At the youth-level, they hosted the [[UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship]] in [[2008 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship|2008]], after first hosting the event back in [[1993 UEFA European Under-16 Football Championship|1993]].

=== Biased Professional Football Disciplinary Committee (PFDK) ===
In July 2024, İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu was elected president of the Turkish Football Federation (TFF). He appointed Celal Nuri Demirtürk as President of the Professional Football Disciplinary Committee (PFDK) of the TFF. In the same month, a Turkish media outlet revealed that Demirtürk is a fanatical supporter of Galatasaray Istanbul. In addition, Mr Demirtürk acted in the past as a legal counsel in 2002 for a Turkish football referee who was arrested in connection with match-fixing and betting.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.yenicaggazetesi.com.tr/tffde-galatasaray-depremi-haciosmanoglu-baskanliga-getirdi-823738h.htm |title=TFF'de Galatasaray depremi.
