In Türkiye's version of mini-football, amateur teams typically made up of friends or co-workers get together after work or on weekends for friendly but intense 7-a-side games on artificial turf.

In a fast-paced attacking game with lots of goals, many teams are facing the same problem: finding a good goalkeeper.

Turkey on June 3 marked the 58th death anniversary of legendary Turkish poet Nazım Hikmet.

Hikmet was born in 1902 to an elite family in Thessaloniki, an Ottoman Empire territory in present-day Greece. He grew up in Anatolia, the Turkish heartland.
