Türkiye is the new amputee football World Champion. They defeated Angola 4–1 in the final in front of an enthusiastic crowd at Nef Stadium, the home of Galatasaray, on Sunday 9 October. Both teams played a good game, but there could be only one winner.

Although Angola dominated the game in the first minutes, Ömer Güleryüz took the lead in the 19th minute. Shortly before half-time, Angola equalised from a free kick by Heno Adão to make it 1–1. In the second half, the Turkish players pushed the African team further back into defence. The penalty by Rahmi Özcan seemed to cool the Angolans’ efforts. The hosts scored two more goals, through a long shot by Rahmi Özcan and then by Serkan Dereli. The Turkish team won their first World Cup: after finishing runners-up to Angola in the 2018 final in Mexico, they finally brought the missing trophy home.

Earlier, Uzbekistan defeated Haiti 4–2 in the third-place match. Haiti were solid in defence and effective in front of goal throughout the tournament, but that evening Pierre Rochenel’s squad had to accept the superiority of Uzbekistan.

The victory of the Turkish team, coached by Osman Çakmak, is the result of systematic preparation over the last few years. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who watched the final from the stands with the guests of honour, presented the World Cup trophy to the Turkish team and their coaches, who were celebrated frantically by the spectators.
