Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan has thrown his support behind Turkey to host the Euro 2024 Championship.
After three previous unsuccessful bids, Turkey has once again thrown its hat into the ring to stage the UEFA European Championship.

Now, having submitted its final bid book alongside Germany for Euro 2024, Turkey is on the charm offensive.
