Turkey's national team announced this Monday the 26 players called up for the 2026 World Cup. The final squad includes Denis Gul, from FC Porto, and Demir Ege Tiknaz, from Braga. In addition to the two Primeira Liga players, the call-up also includes Orkun Kokçu and Kerem Akturkoglu, both former Benfica players.
The Turks will play in the World Cup for the first time since 2002, when they reached the semi-finals, and arrive with a young team full of potential. Arda Guler and Kenan Yildiz stand out among the main prospects of the new Turkish generation, with Hakan Çalhanoglu adding experience and leadership in midfield.
Turkey were drawn in Group D of the 2026 World Cup, alongside Australia, Paraguay and the United States. See all the groups in the competition.
