A Milli Wants to Keep Its A League Hopes Alive Against France

The A Milli Football Team will face France away today in the sixth and final match of Group 1 of the UEFA Nations League A. Turkey, who have lost all five of the matches they have played, have been confirmed to finish last in the group. Even so, their chance of staying in League A remains alive. Of the four teams finishing at the bottom of the four League A groups, the two with the worst points and goal average will be relegated directly to League B. The other two will play play-offs against two teams coming up from League B. Points taken today are of great importance to the national team if they are to keep their play-off chance.

The match will be played at the Matmut Atlantique Stadium in Bordeaux. The game kicks off at 22:45 TSI and will be broadcast live on ATV. There are two squad updates. Abdülkerim Bardakcı, whose card suspension has ended, may be available to play against France. Ozan Kabak, who received a card against Belgium that led to a suspension and left the camp, will not be available for this match.

In Bordeaux, the host city, there is intense activity ahead of the match. Because a demonstration is planned in the city, local authorities have taken extensive security measures. France head coach Zidane announced that Kylian Mbappe, who could not play in the match against Italy due to pain, will be available today. Zidane said, “Turkey will give us difficulties. We must be careful. Mbappe will play against Turkey.”
