Euro 2020 fever grips Wales: Gareth Bale’s men go 1-0 up against Turkey in Baku

Wales fans have packed out pubs and bars at home as the team travelled to Azerbaijan to take on Turkey for its European Championship game.

Fans joined in the Vale Sport Arena in Cardiff to watch the Dragons as Gareth Bale’s men go 1-0 up against Turkey.

Inside the stadium large numbers of fans were chanting for Turkey as the team warmed up for its European Championship game against Wales in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Much of the Baku Olympic Stadium is wearing Turkish red and chanted loudly as the team was announced.

The crowd was visibly larger than the 8,782 who watched Wales play Switzerland in Azerbaijan last week.

Both teams predicted it would be like a home game for the Turks because the country is allies with Azerbaijan and they have close cultural ties.

Posters reading ‘one people, two states’ and ‘Turkey, our hearts beat with you’ were on the walls of the subway system in the city.
