Football Federation Australia CEO Ben Buckley has rated the recent Qantas Joeys trip to Turkey as a success.

The U17 Australian team was in Canakkale for a two-match series against Turkey to coincide with ANZAC Day and Buckley can see a long-term relationship being built on the success of this first event.

"In time if we were to play a Qantas Socceroos match here in Turkey or in Australia around Anzac Day, I'm confident they would both be sell out matches,'' said Buckley, who added that the inaugural trip was a great experience for the Australian U-17 squad.

"But I think what's important is we've got two nations that have a shared history, and this is a great way for us to learn about each other's history and each other's culture.

"We're hopeful we can have a senior men's team match at some point in time, but it doesn't quite work out at the moment with the FIFA dates the way they are, but we'll discuss that with the Turkish Football Federation (TFF)."

Buckley said that next year it is Australia's turn to host the TFF, and discussions are already underway in relation to dates and venues and which age groups will line up in the series next year.

"The TFF has looked after the squad very well during their six days in Turkey and their hospitality is very appreciated," he added.

"Importantly, it's also given us an opportunity to build relationships at different levels and I have been really delighted with the support for Australia's bid for the 2018 or 2022 FIFA World Cup that we have received from Turkish football officials, media and fans.

"Australia's capacity to host a FIFA World Cup, the interest in our players such as Harry Kewell and James Troisi, and the interest in our country all add up to a very strong popular vote," Buckley said.

"Everyone I've talked with has volunteered they want Australia to win [the 2018/2022 FIFA World Cup] and have been very helpful in outlining our strengths as a bidder from their perspective."
