Turkish Amputee Team Trains at Dried Seyfe Lake to Highlight Drought

 

Türkiye’s Amputee National Football Team trained in the dried-up Seyfe Lake Bird Sanctuary to raise awareness about drought and desertification. Known for its biodiversity, Seyfe Lake is now facing severe water depletion due to excessive use of groundwater and agricultural activities. The team, training ahead of the Balkan Championship, aimed to draw attention to this environmental crisis.

Kırşehir Platform President Mustafa Düğer emphasized the urgent need to restore the lake, stating, “We must ensure this natural bird sanctuary is preserved for future generations.” Goalkeeper Coach İlhan Elmalı called for immediate action to protect water resources, describing the current state of the lake as “heartbreaking.”
