Our national football team, Türkiye, was eliminated in the group stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, resulting in a disappointing outcome for the entire country. The real scandal behind the elimination has been revealed. The Turkish Football Federation's (TFF) decision to choose Arizona as the camp location before the tournament and train the team in scorching desert heat of up to 43.5 degrees sparked outrage in the football community.

Camp Location Choice

The TFF's camp location choice has been criticized. The fact that our national team held their camp in Arizona, where the hot weather conditions affected the players, has become a topic of discussion again.

Our Opponents

It was found that our opponents in Group D had much more favorable weather conditions for their training. | Team | Camp Location | Average Temperature | | Paraguay | San Jose | 21 degrees | | USA | Irvine | 19 degrees | | Australia | Oakland | 16.7 degrees |

Criticisms

The football community is evaluating the fact that the federation could have chosen a cooler camp location, as FIFA's suggested facilities are not mandatory. In conclusion, our national team lost their last match to Mexico 1-0 (2025-06-11). The results of the last two matches are: 1W-0D-1L (LW, with the most recent match first).

Next Match

Our next match will be against France on 2026-09-25 at our home stadium.
