Match Preview: What’s at stake?
Turkiye and France will open their 2026/27 UEFA Nations League campaigns in League A, Group A1, with both teams facing a difficult group that also includes Italy and Belgium. The September 25 meeting at Kocaeli Stadyumu is the first of two encounters between Turkiye and France in the league phase, with the return fixture scheduled for November 15.
UEFA’s format gives the group standings significant importance: the group winners advance directly to the Nations League quarterfinals, while the runners-up enter the quarterfinal play-offs.

The match also marks a historic moment for Turkiye, which is playing in League A for the first time in Nations League history after earning promotion from League B. That puts an additional focus on how Vincenzo Montella‘s side handles its first games against Europe’s top-ranked opposition. Turkiye’s next group match comes just three days later against Italy, making the opening double-header particularly important for its position in the group.
For France, the biggest storyline is on the sidelines. Zinedine Zidane will coach Les Bleus for the first time after taking over from Didier Deschamps. The French Football Federation confirmed Zidane’s first 23-player squad on September 18, with Kylian Mbappe retained as captain and several new faces included.
