Fatih Erdol is the general manager of the Turkish amputee football team who won the World Cup on Sunday with a 4-1 defeat of Angola in the stadium of one of Turkey's biggest clubs, Galatasaray. Amputee football is a seven a side game, outfield players may have two hands though only one foot, while goalkeepers may have two legs but only one arm. 25,000 fans were in the stadium including Turkey's President Erdogan. A memorable occasion for the players and Fatih Erdol.
