FIFA #26 Group D UEFA TUR

Background

Türkiye's only World Cup appearance this century was South Korea/Japan 2002, where Hakan Şükür's 11-second goal in the third-place play-off remains the fastest in tournament history. Vincenzo Montella's qualification for 2026 ends a 24-year drought built largely around a Real Madrid-anchored spine.
