After a 24-year wait, Turkey is close to returning to the World Cup, having gone through a difficult period of transition to rebuild the team. The recent success is linked to a new generation of talented players, with names like Arda Gyler and Jilldız standing out, supported by the experience of footballers like Hakan Çalhanoglu.
The Turkish national team faces Kosovo in a transfer that is considered difficult. Although a smaller team in size, Kosovo has players who are active at the highest levels of European football, making this match a serious test for Turkey.
Real Madrid midfielder Arda Gyler stressed the importance of this goal for his team and country:
" Our main objective is to qualify for the World Cup. We want to make our fans happy. I wasn't born when Turkey last participated in the World Cup, but I know how much it means to our country. After being eliminated from the European Championship, our only focus is to qualify. It's a dream for us ," he said.
Ahead of the match, the main concern for Turkey remains the physical condition of Hakan Çalhanoglu. The midfielder was injured in the last match against Romania, failing to finish the match due to a calf problem. His condition will be assessed further, while it remains unclear whether he will be available for the match against Kosovo.
