Nah, 18 is the golden standard. Especially if you look at a population of 80 million. What bothers me instead is the amount of İstanbul teams in the league, 9 out of the 20 teams are from the biggest city.
I’ve only been to Izmir and Istanbul but Istanbul is by far the biggest city. London also dominates the premier league
The clubs in London are big clubs and have fans. 3 of the 9 clubs in Istanbul are the 3 big clubs, the others are clubs that have very few fans and consist of players preferred by football players who do not want to live outside Istanbul. Başakşehir and Kasımpaşa have stadiums, but the others either play in the Atatürk Olympic stadium or play in small neighborhood stadiums. The matches of Eskişehirspor in the amateur league are played in the new and modern stadium with a capacity of 32,500 people and in front of thousands of people.
Erzurumspor, located at an altitude of 1850 meters in Eastern Anatolia, can have more spectators than the smaller teams in Istanbul at -13° temperature at noon. Their stadiums have a capacity of 25 thousand. İstanbul domination isn't realistic except 3 big teams.
