Turkey gives Deniz Gül the No 9 for World Cup 2026 | OneFootball

Turkey has announced its squad numbers for the 2026 World Cup, and FC Porto forward Deniz Gul has been handed the number 9 shirt, the classic striker’s number for the team, which he had already worn a few days ago.

Former Sporting player Merih Demiral was given the number 3, while ex-Benfica players Kokçu and Akturkoglu received the 6 and 7 shirts. The national team’s main stars also kept their traditional numbers: Arda Guler will wear the number 8 shirt, Çalhanoglu the 10, and Yildiz the 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 are in Group D alongside Australia, the United States, and Paraguay.
