Turkey's three biggest clubs all come from Istanbul: Galatasaray (yellow and red), Fenerbahçe (yellow and navy blue) and Beşiktaş (black and white). Their stadiums sit in different parts of the same city, and matches between them are some of the most exciting games of the year.
Fenerbahçe's home ground sits right on the Asian side of Istanbul, and on a clear day you can see boats sailing along the Bosphorus from inside the stadium. Beşiktaş's stadium is so close to the sea that fans walk to it along the water.
Turkey's national team has had its biggest moments at the World Cup and the Euros. In 2002, the national side came third in the whole World Cup - a huge achievement.
But the real magic of Turkish football is not in the big stadiums. It is in every neighbourhood. Kids play with a tennis ball if they don't have a football, jumpers for goalposts, and the rule that the ball is 'out' only if it goes into someone's dinner. Football in Turkey isn't just a sport - it is a way of being together.
