Avrupa Gazete Features Upcoming Documentary on Turkish Cypriot Football
Offside: The Untold Story of Sports in the TRNC, a documentary supported by the Freedom and Fairness for Northern Cyprus campaign, has been featured in Avrupa Gazete.
The article explores the roots of sporting isolation in Northern Cyprus and tells the stories of Turkish Cypriot players, coaches, and fans who continue to fight for international recognition.
The piece also sheds light on past attempts at integration, including the failed Zurich Agreement, and features scenes from recent matches, interviews with KTFF President Hasan Sertoğlu, Foreign Minister Tahsin Ertuğruloğlu, and President Ersin Tatar. This growing media attention reflects increasing awareness in the diaspora and international press about the injustices faced by Turkish Cypriots in sport.
The documentary is scheduled for release in early July 2025.
