EURO is an international football (soccer) tournament in which European countries participate. Technically, the eligibility for participation depends on whether a country is part of the European football confedaration or not. The European confederation is called UEFA.

Somehow Israel is participating in this tournament. Israel also participates in Eurovision (along with other guests like Australia). Seems like the criteria for being European is whiteness lmao.

Also Russia has been banned from participating in EURO 2024.

further proof that isn'trael and even australia is a white supremacist settler colonial project. they will never let turkey participate because "it's not europe" but you literally have countries not located in europe like isn'trael and australia that are still allowed to join, for whatever reason

I think Turkey participates in both EURO and Eurovision.

Yeah. I dunno about Eurovision, but Turkey was one of the first teams to qualify for Euro 2024. The point stands in relation to Turkey being in the EU for example though
