🇹🇷 Türkiye fan guide

Silicon Valley is home to one of the largest Turkish tech diasporas in the United States — Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, and the Peninsula are full of Turkish engineers, founders, and families. Pair that with Türkiye's first World Cup since their 2002 third-place run, and the Friday-night match at Levi's will feel like a home game.

Fan tips

Before you land.

  • 01Sunnyvale and Santa Clara have the densest Turkish and halal dining in the Bay Area — Mangal in Sunnyvale and the Anatolia food truck are local favorites, and there are plenty of halal Turkish spots along the El Camino corridor.
  • 02Meyhouse in Palo Alto is the spot for a proper sit-down pregame dinner — reserve ahead on match day.
  • 03Türkiye are built around a young core — Arda Güler, Kenan Yıldız, and captain Hakan Çalhanoğlu — under Vincenzo Montella. Expect coordinated "İzmir Marşı" chanting from the supporter section.
  • 04Bring a red flag with the white star and crescent. The local community turns out in force, so the Türkiye end will be loud.
