About Turkey

Snapshot of Turkey's 2026 squad and outlook.

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.
