Turkey
Turkey's World Cup history is highlighted by one of the most remarkable underdog runs in the tournament's modern era. After decades away from the global stage following their debut in 1954, Turkey returned in 2002 and stunned the footballing world by securing a magnificent third-place finish. That campaign was defined by technical skill, tactical discipline, and the iconic leadership of players like Hakan Şükür, who scored the fastest goal in World Cup history during the third-place playoff. Returning to the World Cup in 2026 after battling through the UEFA playoffs, Turkey brings a passionate fanbase and a squad eager to recapture the magic of their historic 2002 run.
