Australia and Türkiye will meet in their opening match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Sunday, June 14, 2026 at BC Place Vancouver on FS1.
This is Australia’s sixth consecutive participation in the World Cup. In the last five, they have been eliminated in the group stage three times and in the round of 16 twice, including the 2022 tournament in Qatar, where they lost to the eventual champion in Argentina.
Australia finished second behind Japan in the Asian standings, although they did not lose to the Samurai Blue in either match. Their only loss during the group stage was against Bahrain.
The Socceroos come into the tournament after a 1-1 draw against Switzerland and a 1-0 loss to Mexico in two warm-up friendlies leading up to the World Cup.
On the other hand, this is Türkiye’s first participation in the World Cup in 24 years, having last qualified in 2002, where he took home the bronze medal.
Türkiye booked their place at the 2026 World Cup after finishing second to Spain in UEFA Group E and then advancing to the UEFA playoffs. They sealed qualification with a 1-0 victory over Kosovo in the final.
Türkiye has maintained the momentum from the finals, winning two recent friendlies against North Macedonia and Venezuela by a combined score of 5-2.

Australia vs. Türkiye Prediction, choice
From FOX Sports Research:
- Behind Arda Güler (Real Madrid), Kenan Yıldız (Juventus) and Hakan Çalhanoğlu (Inter Milan), Türkiye has the most talented squad in its history. While Australia is participating in its sixth consecutive World Cup, the Socceroos don’t have the same firepower. Return to Türkiye to win.
