2002 Semi-Finalists — Arda Güler Leads a New Golden Generation

GROUP D INFO

About Group D

Türkiye are seeded fourth in Group D, having qualified through the UEFA play-offs by defeating Kosovo. They open against Australia at BC Place in Vancouver in a midnight ET kickoff — a crucial six-pointer between two sides battling to stay in the tournament. Their Matchday 2 clash against Paraguay at Levi’s Stadium in Silicon Valley is another winnable fixture. The pressure fixture comes on Matchday 3: Türkiye vs. USA at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles — a massive late-night showdown in front of a home crowd of 70,000. Led by Real Madrid starlet Arda Güler and experienced midfielder Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Türkiye’s 2002 third-place finish remains the benchmark — the talent is there to exceed it if the squad can deliver on the biggest stages.
