Turkey National Quidditch Team

The Turkey National Quidditch Team is known for its impressive run during the 422nd Quidditch World Cup held in 1994. Their performance was a significant topic of discussion among wizards attending the final. The team achieved a major victory in the semi-finals, defeating the Transylvania National Team in what was considered a surprising “upset,” according to Ludo Bagman. This victory secured their place in the Quidditch World Cup final against the Ireland National Team. Despite their strong performance throughout the tournament, Turkey ultimately lost the final match to Ireland. The final was attended by thousands of witches and wizards from around the globe, including Harry Potter and the Weasley family.

The original novels by J.K. Rowling do not name any specific players from the Turkish team. However, a full roster was created for their appearance in a related video game.

  • The following roster is from the Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup video game and is not considered part of the book canon:
    • Chasers: Hasan Kurt, Özlem Okyay, Ferit Tuna
    • Beaters: Zeki Demir, Barış Kaya
    • Keeper: Servet Öcal
    • Seeker: Emin Volkov (Captain)
  • In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the Quidditch World Cup final match is not shown. The teams are seen arriving at the stadium, but the narrative skips directly to the aftermath of the event. Therefore, the Turkish team's role as finalists is omitted from the film's plot (film).
  • The Turkish team is a playable national team in the 2003 Electronic Arts video game Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup (video game).
