The National Team Has Started Preparations for the Nations League in Istanbul

Turkey's national football team gathered in Istanbul to prepare for its UEFA Nations League matches. The squad held its first training session at the TFF Hasan Doğan National Teams Camp and Training Facilities. Players who had featured for more than a certain number of minutes in their club matches the previous day did recovery work in the gym. The other players trained on the pitch under head coach Sergen Yalçın. The session began with a warm-up, followed by a 5-on-2 passing drill and small-area games.

Aral Şimşir, who is still receiving treatment, trained under an individual exercise programme.

The squad will continue its preparations with a training session tomorrow at 17:15. The team will face Belgium in İzmir on 12 November and play away against France on 15 November.

Correction (10.11.2026): Instead of 'Tedavisi süren Aral Çimşir, bireysel egzersiz programı doğrultusunda çalıştı.', the name of the player under treatment is listed as Aral Şimşir, who worked under an individual exercise programme.
