UEFA will 'examine' Turkey footballers' military salute
European football's ruling body has said that they will "examine" reports that Turkey footballers performed a military salute in their Euro 2020 qualifier against Albania to mark their country's widely-condemned armed offensive against Kurds in Syria.
"Personally, I have not seen this gesture, which could be considered a provocation," UEFA's press chief Philip Townsend told the Italian Ansa news agency on Saturday.
"Does the regulation prohibit references to politics and religion? Yes, and I can guarantee you that we will look at this situation."
