Runners to the Future

Developed in cooperation with the General Directorate of Youth and Sports, the "Runners to the Future" project aims to support the training of athletes aged 12-18 who can achieve success in individual sports.

Included in the national plan of the United Nations' project, Alliance of Civilizations, the project selects young athletes based on their talent, and coaches them in sports, including weightlifting, skiing, swimming, tennis, and athletics, along with cycling for the visually-impaired, across Turkey; they are trained to become national athletes who will successfully represent Turkey in the international arena.

Within this project, Turkcell also sponsors Marsel İlhan, the number one-ranking tennis player in Turkey and 90th in the world; as well as Cagla Buyukakcay, another national tennis player.
