What are Turkey's chances of staying in League A if they finish fourth in their group?
Finishing last in the group for the national team does not mean an automatic relegation to League B. Whether they stay will depend on the results of the last two matches, the goal difference and the results in other groups.
Turkey finishing last in the group does not mean they will automatically be relegated to League B. Under the format UEFA has set for the 2026/27 season, the last-placed teams from the four groups will be compared against each other.
In this ranking, the best two fourth-placed teams will earn the right to play in the A/B League play-off matches. The two weakest fourth-placed teams will be relegated directly to League B.
The results Turkey get in their last two group matches, along with their goal difference, will be decisive. Even if Turkey beat Belgium, they could still finish fourth in the group if they drop points against France. For this reason, the margin of victory in the Belgium match in Izmir also matters.
The national team will aim to achieve the best possible goal difference to gain an advantage in the ranking among teams finishing last. Turkey's future in League A will depend both on the results of their own matches and on the performance of the teams that finish last in the other groups.
