About the team
La selección masculina de Turquía, controlada por la Federación Turca de Fútbol (TFF), ha alcanzado recientemente un nivel competitivo en Europa bajo la dirección técnica del italiano Vincenzo Montella. Su estilo combina sólida organización defensiva con talento joven emergente, lo que la convierte en equipo a vigilar en el Grupo D del Mundial 2026, junto a Estados Unidos, Australia y Paraguay. Aunque históricamente ha tenido altibajos, en estos momentos se encuentra en progresión, reflejado en su buen rendimiento en las rondas de repesca.
World Cup history
Turquía debutó en la Copa del Mundo en 1954 en Suiza. Su mejor resultado llegó en el Mundial de 2002 (Corea del Sur y Japón), donde alcanzó el tercer puesto. La clasificación a Qatar 2022 fue fallida, por lo que su participación de 2026 será su tercera presencia en fases finales del torneo.
