The 2026 FIFA World Cup continues on Friday with Turkey taking on the United States in their final Group D match at Los Angeles. Kick-off is scheduled for 2:00 AM GMT. While the United States has already secured qualification for the Round of 32 and first place in the group, Turkey will aim to end its campaign on a positive note after suffering defeats against Australia and Paraguay.
Turkey enters the match without a point and has yet to score despite creating numerous chances during the tournament. In the middle of this 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign, Vincenzo Montella’s side will look to reward its supporters with a strong performance against one of the tournament’s in-form teams. The United States, under Mauricio Pochettino, has impressed with convincing victories over Paraguay and Australia and will seek to maintain its perfect record before the knockout stage.
History suggests another closely contested encounter between the two nations. Turkey and the United States have met five times, with each side recording two victories and one draw. Both teams have also scored seven goals across those meetings, and every match that produced a winner ended with a 2-1 scoreline. Turkey will hope history favors another competitive contest as it looks to finish its 2026 FIFA World Cup adventure on a high.
