The following is a factbox on Turkey, who are in Group A at this year's European Championship, which kicks off on June 11.
TURKEY
Coach: Senol Gunes
Former goalkeeper Gunes guided Turkey to third place at the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan and returned to the helm in 2019 -- 15 years after his first stint -- to help the ambitious team chase a maiden European Championship title.
Captain: Burak Yilmaz
Yilmaz is the team's main attacking threat and Turkey will count on the 35-year-old, who is enjoying a superb season with Lille, to continue delivering goals with fellow striker Cenk Tosun out of action due to a knee injury.
