Turkey hand Deniz Gül the No 9 for World Cup 2026

Turkey announced its squad numbers for the 2026 World Cup, and FC Porto forward Deniz Gul was handed the No. 9 shirt, the classic number for the team’s striker, which he had already worn a few days ago.

Former Sporting player Merih Demiral was given No. 3, while former Benfica players Kokçu and Akturkoglu received Nos. 6 and 7. The national team’s main stars also kept their traditional numbers: Arda Guler will wear the No. 8 shirt, Çalhanoglu No. 10 and Yildiz No. 11.

Turkey beat North Macedonia a few days ago thanks to a goal from Deniz Gul and will face Venezuela on Sunday in their final warm-up match before the World Cup, where they have been drawn in Group D alongside Australia, the United States and Paraguay.
