[edit] Comment

So what is the correct English name of TFF?

FIFA (http://fifa.com/en/organisation/confederations/associationdetails/0,,TUR,00.html?countrycode=TUR) just gives the Turkish name: Türkiye Futbol Federasyonu, which direct translation, if I am correct, is Turkey Football Federation. But UEFA (http://www.uefa.com/footballcentral/directory/country=TUR/Association=135/index.html) and TFF (http://www.tff.org/ENGLISH/tff_indexing.htm) both have Turkish Football Association, but it's obvious that "Federation" is a more apporpriate word here.

In English, Turkey Football Federation does not sound right; the country name should be made into an ajective, and that is probably why the TTF translates its name into English as such. Therfore, Turkish Football Federation makes most sense to me.

[edit] Turkish Super League

I nominated the article of Turkish Super League to be the next article to be upgraded by the Wikipedia community. Please go to this page and vote for our league. We need at least 3 votes to win![1].Haydi Beyler, Deliogul 22:35, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Turkish Football Federation's Logo is incorrect.

The logo used/shown on the page was the old logo. The official logo of TFF has changed a few times since that old one. The newest Logo is as; http://brandsoftheworld.com//brands/0015/1707/brand.gif or as shown in the official web site: www.tff.org.

Thus, the full name was used as Turkish Football Associaton but with the new logo; both Turkish and English names used officially as part of the logo as Turkiye Futbol Federasyonu / Turkish Football Federation.

Btw, the "external links" part directs to an old page that is no more exist as the official site... The "English" version of the site is no more active, the website is newly re-designed.
