Türkiye will end a 24-year absence from the World Cup when it faces Australia on Saturday night.
Real Madrid sensation Arda Güler came into the world three years after Türkiye’s last World Cup outing in 2002 and will hope to mark his debut in style as he spearheads a star-studded roster that also includes in-demand Juventus forward Kenan Yıldız.
Türkiye will fancy its chances against an Australia outfit that has qualified for every tournament since 2002 but has rarely made much noise. Three group-stage exits ae sandwiched in between trips to the round of 16 in both 2006 and 2022.
Here’s how you can keep up with all the action.

What’s Next for Australia, Türkiye?
Both sets of players will have had eyes on the USMNT’s 4–1 drubbing of Paraguay, well aware that Mauricio Pochettino’s squad have set the standard in Group D this summer.
It’s Australia that will take on the U.S. next, traveling to Seattle on Friday looking for an upset victory and points that could be incredibly valuable in its bid to qualify for the knockout stages again.
Türkiye will be hoping to compound Paraguay’s misery next time out. Six points from its opening two matches would ease the pressure ahead of a battle with the USMNT on June 25 that many believe will decide first place in the group.
