As cricket is not a ministry-sanctioned sport in Turkey, the organisation is not legally structured as a sports federation;[2] rather, it is officially considered to be a sports club and is managed as a sports branch within the Rugby federation alongside Rugby union, American football, baseball/softball, and lacrosse.[3][4]
