Türkiye
Türkiye return to football's biggest stage for the first time since 2002 — that legendary semi-final run powered by Şükür, Şaş and Davala. The 24-year wait ends with a generation as exciting as any in Turkish history. Vincenzo Montella, who steered Türkiye to a remarkable Euro 2024 quarter-final, remains in charge. Hakan Çalhanoğlu (Inter) is the conductor; teenager Arda Güler (Real Madrid) is already a Bernabéu starter; Kenan Yıldız (Juventus) gives the attack a second creative pole; Mert Müldür anchors at right-back. Group D with the United States, Paraguay and Australia offers a realistic top-two finish. The dream is a knockout-round upset against a top seed — and this Türkiye has the talent to execute.
