What a jealousy! The Dutch declared our national football player as a "traitor".

Before the EURO 2024 quarter-final match between Turkey and the Netherlands, our national football player Ferdi Kadıoğlu, who has a Turkish father and a Dutch mother and has played for the Netherlands in the youth categories, has made headlines in both countries.

"DECLARED A TRAITOR"

Ferdi Kadıoğlu's mother Diane, in an interview with De Gelderlander from the Netherlands, expressed that they have been subjected to ugly insults. Mother Diane said, "Ferdi is being called a 'traitor' because he wears the Turkish jersey. This hurts us. All these people don't know the truth behind it. The Turkish Football Federation has shown that they believe in Ferdi."

"TURKEY EMBRACED FERDI"

Ferdi's father Feyzullah Kadıoğlu said, "When his name was shouted by all the stands at the Fenerbahçe stadium recently, it gave me goosebumps. I was very proud when he scored a goal against Germany in a friendly match. Turkey embraced Ferdi. We have always believed in him. Ferdi is mentally a very strong child," he said.
