Turkey does not have a single designated national game. While football (soccer) is incredibly popular and widely played, it is not officially declared as the national game.
However, Turkish wrestling is a traditional sport with deep roots in the country’s history and culture. It is recognized as a national sport, and it is often considered to be the closest thing Turkey has to a national game.
Turkish wrestling, also known as "Yağlı Güreş" (meaning "oily wrestling"), is a unique and ancient form of wrestling that involves oiled wrestlers competing in a circular pit. The sport has been practiced in Turkey for centuries and is an integral part of the country’s cultural heritage.
