Turkish Football Request: Lower Leagues, National Team & Fan Atmospheres!

Hi EA Sports FC Team and Community,

First of all, I want to express my sincere gratitude to the development team. Back in 2025, I made a strong request on the forums for Özkan Öztürk to be added as the Turkish commentator, and seeing him officially included in FC 26 has been incredible. It truly proves that EA Sports listens to the community's feedback!

Building on that amazing addition, I would like to propose a comprehensive Turkish football overhaul for future updates. Türkiye has one of the most passionate football cultures in the world, and bringing these features would highly elevate the immersion for millions of players globally:

1. Expansion of the Turkish Football League Pyramid (TFF 1. Lig, 2nd Lig, and 3rd Lig)

Currently, only the Trendyol Süper Lig is available. Adding the TFF 1. Lig (2nd tier) along with the 2nd and 3rd divisions would make Career Mode immensely more realistic, allowing for promotion/relegation battles and a true "Road to Glory" experience in a football-mad nation.

2. Full Licensing for the Turkish National Team (Bizim Çocuklar)

Turkish international football is on a massive rise, but the lack of an officially licensed Turkish National Team (with authentic kits, badges, and real player faces) is a huge miss for international tournaments and Career Mode. We need the authentic Turkish National Team fully licensed in the game.

3. Authentic Fenerbahçe Goal Music ("Freed from Desire")

Fenerbahçe is a massive global club. In real life, they use the iconic song "Freed from Desire" by Gala as their official goal music at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium. Adding this specific track would drastically improve the matchday presentation, just like the authentic goal music features present in other major European stadiums.

4. Immersive Turkish Fan Chants & Atmosphere (Fenerbahçe, Beşiktaş, Galatasaray)

Turkish fans are world-famous for their loud, hostile, and passionate stadium atmospheres. We need specific, authentic team chants added to the game—especially iconic Fenerbahçe chants and stadium atmosphere upgrades that make playing in Türkiye feel as intense and intimidating as it is in real life.

Since the dev team did an amazing job with the Turkish commentary this year, taking the next step with league expansion, the national team, and authentic atmospheres would make the Turkish football experience complete!

What do you guys think? Let’s upvote this and get the dev team's attention once again!

Best regards,

authentic gameplay

    Happy to pass the feedback on kdr31311​.

    Bear in mind,, that licensing and things like that can be a factor in situations like this but I'll make sure that the team hear your feedback.

    Hi EA Sports FC Team, EA_Darko, and Community,

    First of all, I want to say a huge thank you to the development team! Last year, as kdr31311, I strongly requested the addition of Özkan Öztürk as the Turkish commentator on these forums. Seeing "Turkish Voiceover" officially listed on the Steam page for FC 26 is an incredible victory for our community. It truly proves that EA Sports listens to player feedback!

    Since you did an amazing job delivering the commentary, we want to help make the Turkish football experience fully complete. To take the immersion to the next level in FC 26, the Turkish community highly requests the following additions:

    1. Expansion of the Turkish League Pyramid (TFF 1. Lig, 2nd & 3rd Lig)

    Currently, only the Süper Lig is available. Adding the TFF 1. Lig (2nd tier) and lower divisions would completely transform Career Mode, allowing for authentic promotion/relegation battles and a true "Road to Glory" experience in a football-mad nation.

    2. Return of the Licensed Turkish National Team

    With a brilliant new generation of players (Arda Güler, Kenan Yıldız, Hakan Çalhanoğlu), the lack of an officially licensed Turkish National Team (with authentic kits and badges) is a massive miss for international tournaments.

    3. Fenerbahçe Goal Music Update ("Freed from Desire")

    While Galatasaray received its authentic goal music when stadiums were added, Fenerbahçe is still missing its iconic track. Please consider licensing "Freed from Desire" by Gala for Fenerbahçe SK at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium to fix this missing atmosphere.

    4. Immersive Turkish Fan Chants (Fenerbahçe, Beşiktaş, Galatasaray)

    Turkish stadiums are world-famous for their intimidating, passionate atmosphere. Adding authentic, specific team chants for the big clubs would make playing in Türkiye feel as intense as it is in real life.

    Since the dev team already listened to us regarding the Turkish commentary, we truly hope you can consider these atmospheric and league updates next!

    What do you guys think? Let’s upvote this and show the power of the Turkish community once again!

    Best regards,
