Why do the Turkish players have their first name on their jerseys?

why not the last name like all the other countries do it? is it cuz of religion or just preference?

its not all of'em. i know that in turkey callin someone by their first name is more common, so there. it has nothing to do with their religion, but their culture.

Reply:its preference


some portuguese and brazilian players also have their jerseys like that
