Turkey enters Group D of the 2026 World Cup, marking their fourth appearance in the tournament. After a 24-year absence since their historic third-place finish in 2002, the team aims to progress beyond the group stage, bolstered by a squad widely considered to be one of the most talented young groups in international football. Manager Vincenzo Montella, a former Roma legend, has prioritised tactical control and possession over the high-speed counter-attacking style often associated with his young stars. Despite a heavy 6-0 loss to Spain during qualifying, Montella's pragmatic approach—evidenced by narrow 1-0 play-off wins against Romania and Kosovo—has defined his tenure since 2023. The provisional 35-man squad includes FC Porto's Deniz Gül and SC Braga's Demir Tiknaz, alongside established stars like captain Hakan Çalhanoglu, Orkun Kökçü, and Kerem Aktürkoğlu. With rising talents such as Arda Güler and Can Uzun, Montella may deploy a false nine to accommodate his creative depth.
