Football on Turkey's Fault Line: Part One - Christian Atsu's Hatayspor
Listen now
Description
In the first of this two-part audio documentary series, The Athletic's Adam Leventhal heads to the capital of Turkey's south-eastern province of Hatay - home of first-division side Hatayspor - where former Ghana international and Premier League winger Christian Atsu scored a last-minute free kick, just hours before the first earthquake hit on February 6th. Adam interviews head coach and former Turkish international goalkeeper Volkan Demirel, as well as various other people connected to Hatayspor, about their lasting memories of Atsu and how the football club is trying to help an entire community rebuild. It's a harrowing insight into the realities of surviving a natural disaster and the scale of the destruction. Produced by Adonis Pratsides Learn more about your ad choices.
