Spectacular scenes: See how Turkish national team players were seen off to the World Cup

(Patria) - There is huge interest in Turkey for the upcoming World Cup, and fans believe their national team can achieve a memorable result.

Optimism has further grown due to a generation led by young stars such as Arda Güler and Kenan Yıldız, whom many consider the most talented Turkish squad in the last two decades.

The euphoria among fans is best illustrated by scenes from the streets, where the national team players were seen off on their way to the World Cup with a large convoy of cars and numerous fans wishing them luck ahead of the biggest challenge of their careers.

Turkish football fans hope this generation could repeat the success of 2002, when the national team reached the semi-finals of the World Cup and won a historic bronze medal.

It remains to be seen whether the great support from the stands and streets will further motivate the Turkish players at the final tournament.

Turkey will compete at the World Cup in a group with the national teams of the United States of America, Paraguay and Australia, and they face a difficult task of living up to the high expectations of their fans.
