The Turkey Euro 2024 squad has already performed better than they managed at Euro 2020, with three points already on the board.
However, they still need a point in their final group game of Euro 2024 to qualify for the knockout stages. Czech Republic await in their last game, who will still provide a difficult test despite their troubles so far in the tournament.
Turkey did open their Euro 2024 with a 3-1 victory over Georgia, but a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Portugal brought them crashing back to Earth. Still, they're in a strong position to still reach the last 16, with Austria their opponents if they come second in the group stages.
Hakan Calhanoglu has become one of Italy's most cultured midfielders at Scudetto winners, Inter, and he sits alongside Orkun Koksu, who complements him nicely. In Arda Guler, Ferdi Kadioglu and Kenan Yildiz, there is an abundance of young talent, while Ugurcan Cakir is regarded as a top goalkeeper.
Along with information on every other Euro 2024 squad, FourFourTwo will provide all the latest news on and details on how to watch every game at the tournament, keeping you up to date at all times.

Turkey manager: Vincenzo Montella
A decade ago, Vincenzo Montella was one of Italy's most promising coaches, but after turbulent spells at Milan, Sevilla and Fiorentina, he eventually cropped up at minnows Adana Demirspor in 2021.
Finding a second home in Turkey having secured the Blue Lightnings' first European campaign, his popularity has nonetheless taken a hit of late.
Turkey's star player
Hakan Calhanoglu
Hakan Calhanoglu claims to be the best deep-lying playmaker in the world.
Arrogant, yes, but not necessarily wrong. Consistently superb with Inter atop Serie A for much of the season, he possesses a phenomenal passing range and always-dangerous set-pieces. At 30, he's in his prime and wants to triumph in the country of his birth.
