Turkish Football Federation

{{Main|Turkish football league system}}

The Turkish football league system is divided into eight tiers, ranging from the top-tier Süper Lig to local amateur divisions.

{{main|Turkish Cup|Turkish Super Cup}}

The Turkish Cup changed its name to the Federation Cup (Turkish: Federasyon Kupası) in the 1980–81 season, then back to Turkish Cup in 1992–93.

Turkey have bid five times to host the 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 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, the 2023 UEFA Champions League Final, and the 2009 UEFA Cup Final all played in Istanbul.{{cite news|url=http://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}} At the youth-level, they hosted the UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship in 2008, after first hosting the event back in 1993.

The TFF organized a nationwide championship as early as 1924. That year the Turkish Football Championship (Turkish: Türkiye Futbol Şampiyonası) was held in order to bring forth a national football champion.{{cite web|url=https://www.angelfire.com/nj/sivritepe/5758/TB.html|title=Türkiye Futbol Birinciliği|publisher=Erdinç Sivritepe|access-date=13 December 2017|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180120180108/http://www.angelfire.com/nj/sivritepe/5758/TB.html|archive-date=20 January 2018}}{{cite web|url=http://www.tff.org/default.aspx?pageID=294|title=Türkiye Futbol Federasyonu Kuruluyor|quote=1936'ya kadar süren bu dönemde ilk Türkiye Şampiyonası Ankara'da yapılmış ve şampiyon Harbiye olmuştur.|website=tff.org|publisher=Turkish Football Federation|access-date=13 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180125181841/http://www.tff.org/default.aspx?pageID=294|archive-date=25 January 2018|language=tr}} The championship format was based on a knockout competition, contested between the winners of each of the country's regional leagues. Some years later, in 1937, the first national league called Millî Küme was introduced. The league was held until 1950, one year before the Turkish Football Championship was also abolished.{{cite web|url=https://www.angelfire.com/nj/sivritepe/5758/MK.html|title=Milli Küme|publisher=Erdinç Sivritepe|access-date=13 December 2017|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171026145447/http://www.angelfire.com/nj/sivritepe/5758/MK.html|archive-date=26 October 2017}}{{cite web|url=http://www.tff.org/default.aspx?pageID=294|title=Türkiye Futbol Federasyonu Kuruluyor|quote=...ilk deplasmanlı lig kapsamındaki Milli Küme maçları da yine bu dönemde tertip edilmiştir.|website=tff.org|publisher=Turkish Football Federation|access-date=13 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180125181841/http://www.tff.org/default.aspx?pageID=294|archive-date=25 January 2018|language=tr}}

Until today no official reason or motive was given for the unparalleled and irregular denial. All other football associations in Europe without exception consequently acknowledge their former national championships. The Turkish Federation is the only one with such a stance.
