Turkey Analysis
Turkey bid an early farewell to the 2026 World Cup with its most ambitious generation since their third place finish in 2002. Under the management of Vincenzo Montella, the national team failed to advance past the group stage and was eliminated without leaving a mark on the tournament, despite a wave of young talents playing in Europe's major clubs.
