[edit] Comment

So what is the correct English name of TFF?

FIFA (http://fifa.com/en/organisation/confederations/associationdetails/0,,TUR,00.html?countrycode=TUR) just gives the Turkish name: Türkiye Futbol Federasyonu, which direct translation, if I am correct, is Turkey Football Federation. But UEFA (http://www.uefa.com/footballcentral/directory/country=TUR/Association=135/index.html) and TFF (http://www.tff.org/ENGLISH/tff_indexing.htm) both have Turkish Football Association, but it's obvious that "Federation" is a more apporpriate word here.

In English, Turkey Football Federation does not sound right; the country name should be made into an ajective, and that is probably why the TTF translates its name into English as such. Therfore, Turkish Football Federation makes most sense to me.
