FROM THE COURT TO GLOBAL MARKETS: TURKISH TOWELS ON THE NATIONAL STAGE
National Team on the Court, Turkish Towels in the Stands
The fourth match of Group C in the FIBA 2027 Basketball World Cup Qualifiers, played on Monday, March 2, 2026, in which the Turkish Men's National Basketball Team hosted Serbia, was not only a sporting contest but also the stage for a strategic brand initiative reflecting the global vision of Turkish exports.
Turkish Towels in the Stands
As part of the first activation of the collaboration, Turkish Towels branded towels were distributed to fans in the stands before the match.
Through this activation, not only a product but also Denizli's production discipline, the quality standards of Turkish textiles, and the vision of sustainable manufacturing were brought together with the spirit of the national team on the same platform.
Turkish Towels Signature at Women's National Team Matches
Within the scope of the collaboration, Turkish Towels branded towels will also be distributed to basketball fans during the matches to be played by the Turkish Women's National Basketball Team as part of the FIBA 2026 World Cup Qualification Tournament.
In this context, the towels will be distributed in the stands during the following matches:
• 12 March 2026 – Türkiye vs Argentina
• 15 March 2026 – Türkiye vs Australia
• 17 March 2026 – Türkiye vs Hungary
Through these events, the Turkish Towels brand will reach a broader global impact area by benefiting from the international visibility of both our men's and women's national teams.
“We Are Crossing Borders with the Universal Power of Sports”
Commenting on the collaboration, President of the Denizli Exporters Association Hüseyin Memişoğlu stated:
“Through our Turkish Towels brand, we represent not only a home textile product in global markets but also quality, design, sustainability, and a traceable production approach. This collaboration we have launched with the Turkish Basketball Federation is a strong reflection of the brand-oriented transformation vision of Turkish exports.
Sports is a global communication platform that transcends borders. As the Denizli Exporters Association, we are also crossing borders through the universal power of sports. By bringing together the international visibility of our national teams with the global ambitions of our export brand, we are presenting the production capabilities and design capacity of Turkish textiles to the world.
We believe that this strategic model will accelerate our value-added export targets by strengthening the global recognition of the Turkish Towels brand.”
The Global Journey of Turkish Towels
Emphasizing that their goal is to position Turkish Towels strongly on the global stage, President Hüseyin Memişoğlu stated:
“As Denizli Exporters Association, we will continue to implement projects that combine production strength with brand power, place value-added exports at the center, and enhance the global visibility of Turkish textiles.
In line with this vision, we aim to introduce not only our products but also our sustainable production approach, design capabilities, and innovative perspective to the international community.
By using universal platforms such as sports and culture as strategic communication channels, we will continue to strengthen the competitive position of the Turkish Towels brand in global markets, increase export volume, and promote Türkiye's production capabilities at the international level.”

Hüseyin Memişoğlu
