During the Euro 2024 match between Turkey and Austria, Austrian midfielder Marcel Sabitzer was struck by objects thrown by fans, leading to him falling to the ground in pain. Turkey players intervened to stop the object-throwing. Incidents of crowd trouble, including throwing cups and objects, have marred the tournament, with UEFA imposing fines exceeding €1 million. Despite the disruptions, Turkey secured a 2-1 victory over Austria, advancing to face the Netherlands in the quarter-finals, with defender Merih Demiral's double securing Turkey's first major tournament quarter-final in 16 years.
