Millions moved by photo of children with football star portraits in southeastern Türkiye
DIYARBAKIR, TÜRKİYE - MARCH 13, 2024: School children took a photo in front of a wall where portraits of famous football players, including Edin Dzeko, Mauro Icardi, and Vincent Aboubakar, were painted in Diyarbakir's Egil district of southeastern Türkiye.
The moment was captured and shared on social media, reaching millions.
The initiative, led by the district governor, aimed to bring joy to the children by depicting their favorite football stars on the school wall.
After a season-long loan spell at Galatasaray, fan favorite Icardi joined the Istanbul powerhouse permanently in July.
Last season he helped Galatasaray win the Turkish Super Lig title.
Turkish giant Fenerbahce's Edin Dzeko appeared for Wolfsburg, Manchester City, Roma, and Inter Milan.
The 37-year-old player has won two Premier League titles with Manchester City.
Vincent Aboubakar from Besiktas bagged Portuguese Primeira Liga titles with Porto in 2018 and 2020, and Turkish Super Lig titles with Besiktas in 2017 and 2021.

He also helped Cameroon clinch the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations. He has scored 35 goals in 95 appearances for the national team.(Footage by Aydın Arik/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
