An unexpected episode has stirred the atmosphere in the Turkish national team's camp during their participation in the final phase of the World Cup.
The Turkish team, based in Vancouver, Canada, for its matches, has been the center of media attention after the publication of several photos that have sparked much controversy in the country.
According to reports, several national team players were photographed by paparazzi and passersby while spending time on the balcony of the hotel where they are staying. What has caused strong reactions is the fact that the players were seen smoking, an act that is considered inappropriate for professional athletes, especially during a major competition like the World Cup.
The footage quickly spread on social media and Turkish media, prompting strong criticism from fans. Many of them described the players' behavior as a lack of professionalism and respect for the national team.
Meanwhile, sports media in Turkey have demanded an immediate response from the technical staff and federation leaders, emphasizing that discipline must remain a priority in a tournament where the entire country is represented.
There has been no official reaction from the Turkish camp in Vancouver so far. However, according to local media, the possibility of disciplinary measures, including financial fines or internal sanctions, being taken against the players involved is not ruled out.
According to this video and reports, Çağlar Söyüncü and 2 other national team players, who aren't clearly recognizable, were caught smoking.

You already don't deserve to be at the National Team and now you smoke.???? pic.twitter.com/LxF8dcjUEz
