ANKARA - Turkey’s national side are being investigated by European soccer body UEFA after players celebrated their goal in a 1-1 draw against world champions France with a military salute to soldiers fighting in northeast Syria.
Olivier Giroud scored for France in the 75th minute of the match before Kaan Ayhan equalized for Turkey six minutes later. His teammates then lined up in front of the away supporters and saluted. “Those who didn’t say a word about Griezmann’s army salute that day are trying to take another meaning out of our national footballers’ beautiful salute,” he said, calling on UEFA to “act with prudence”.
“You’re always asking me about the salute, but it’s way above me. It’s Trump’s business, it’s Macron’s business,” he said, referring to the U.S. and French presidents. “They are the ones who rule the world, while I can barely rule the team.”
