UEFA investigates Turkey player Merih Demiral for celebrating a goal with a nationalist gesture

UEFA has launched an investigation into Turkey soccer player Merih Demiral's "alleged inappropriate behavior" after he celebrated a goal at Euro 2024 by displaying a hand sign associated with an ultra-nationalist group.

Demiral scored both goals Tuesday in a 2-1 win over Austria to earn a place in the quarterfinals.
