About this match

Turkey's 2002 team, with Hakan Sukur and Ilhan Mansiz, finished third at a World Cup nobody expected — and that magical campaign in South Korea and Japan remains the greatest achievement in Turkish football. Paraguay, with their tradition of warrior football forged in the toughest qualifying rounds in the world, reached the quarterfinals in 2010. Both are teams that have already stunned the planet and return to 2026 looking to prove those campaigns were no fluke.
