Will Türkiye stay in the group if they draw with France?

Turkey, who have yet to earn a point in their 5 matches in the group, will collect their first point and raise their total to 1 if they leave the pitch with a draw against France. This result will not change the national team's position in the group standings. Even if Turkey draw with France, they will finish fourth in Group 1 of League A.

Under UEFA's 2026-2027 season format, the two lowest-scoring fourth-placed teams from the four groups will be relegated directly to League B. The best two fourth-placed teams will earn the right to take part in the League A/B play-offs. Therefore, a point taken against France will not remove the danger of direct relegation.

For the national team to qualify for the play-offs, fourth-placed teams in other groups need to drop points. The results of Wales and Norway, who have 3 points in Group A4, are particularly important. For Türkiye to get ahead of these teams, not only the points table but also the criteria used in the ranking between groups will be considered.

If Türkiye draw with France, a direct relegation to League B will not be automatically confirmed. However, results in other groups will need to go in the national team's favor for them to earn the play-off right. The national team's future will be determined by the ranking of fourth-placed teams in other groups after the final match.
