T\u00fcrkiye<\/a>‘s national football team began their World Cup<\/a> preparations on June 3 with their first training<\/a> session at the Florida Blue Training Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.<\/p>\n

The Turkish Crescent-Stars began training under the management of head coach Vincenzo Montella.<\/p>\n

Montella on Tuesday revealed a World Cup squad led by established stars Hakan Calhanoglu, Arda Guler, Kerem Akturkoglu and Baris Alper Yilmaz.<\/p>\n

The team will play an international friendly at Inter Miami CF Stadium in preparation for their World Cup against Venezuela on June 6.<\/p>\n

Following the Venezuela friendly, T\u00fcrkiye will shift its focus to Group D play at the World Cup, where it is slated to face Australia on June 13, Paraguay on June 20 and host nation U.S. on June 26.<\/p>\n

Unlike its Group D rivals, T\u00fcrkiye has chosen to base its camp in Mesa, Arizona at a facility equipped with 24 multipurpose training grounds.<\/p>\n

Co-hosted by the US, Mexico and Canada, the 2026 FIFA World Cup begins on June 11 and will feature 48 nations competing through July 19.<\/p>\n
