About This Match
Australia face Turkey in the Group Stage of Group D on Saturday, June 13, 2026. Australia are ranked #27 in the world and managed by Tony Popovic; Turkey sit at #22 under Vincenzo Montella. The match kicks off at 21:00 local time at BC Place in Vancouver.
Australia
Australia arrive at World Cup 2026 off the back of their best-ever tournament - a fairytale run to the quarter-finals at Qatar 2022, where they defeated Denmark and Argentina's nemesis Saudi Arabia before pushing eventual champions Argentina hard. The Socceroos, now coached by Tony Popovic, have lost key figures from that generation but retain a competitive nucleus eager to repeat or better that feat. Group D pits Australia against co-hosts United States, Paraguay, and Turkey - a competitive group where they must be at their best to qualify. Australian football is in a positive place, and a motivated Socceroos squad will be tough to beat.
Read Australia preview →Turkey
Turkey enter World Cup 2026 with genuine ambition, having qualified via the UEFA playoffs to reach their fourth World Cup, and first since 2002 when they famously finished third. Italian coach Vincenzo Montella has revitalised the national team, built around Inter Milan's commanding Hakan Çalhanoğlu and the gifted young Real Madrid playmaker Arda Güler, who has emerged as one of Europe's most exciting talents. Group D against the United States, Australia, and Paraguay is highly competitive but navigable - Turkey have the quality to challenge anyone on their day. A new generation of Turkish stars could emulate or even better the legendary class of 2002.
