Large numbers of fans have been chanting for Turkey as the team warms us for its European Championship game against Wales in Baku.

Much of the stadium is wearing Turkish red and chanted loudly as the team was announced.

The crowd was visibly larger than the 8,782 who watched Wales play Switzerland in Azerbaijan last week.

Both teams predicted it would be like a home game for the Turks because the country is allies with Azerbaijan and they have close cultural ties.

Posters reading “one people, two states” and “Turkey, our hearts beat with you” were on the walls of the subway system in the city.
