Highlighting the strength of Romania, Greece, and Turkey in these age groups, Ertürk said, “There will be fierce competition. Since these are younger age groups, it's difficult to predict the outcomes, but we have won the Balkan Cup for the past two years and are confident this year as well. Competing in front of our home crowd, we aim to claim the most victories and win the cup.”
