AK Party Deputy Chair Kürşad Zorlu said two measures are being planned for football among the Turkic states. The first would see footballers from these countries classified as domestic players, rather than foreign players, when playing in one another’s leagues.
Under the proposal, a footballer from one Turkic state would not be treated as a foreign player in the league of another Turkic state. Zorlu described the classification as reciprocal. His remarks referred to a plan; they did not say that the change had already taken effect.
The second proposal is to organize a Turkic States Football Cup every two years. Zorlu said the competition is planned to take place at two-year intervals. No further details about the cup’s schedule or participating teams were provided, and the statement did not indicate that the plans had been finalized.
