The match has significance for him, as the Turkish national team legend is originally from Kosovo, as he confirmed himself in his podcast in November last year, when the draw for UEFA's Group C for the World Cup "play-off" was made.
'Kosovo is my father's homeland. My father was born in Pristina. Kosovo's achievements should not be underestimated. A country that comes from the former Yugoslavia, a land where there is a lot of talent,' Sukur said.
