The Turkish national football team has been eliminated from the 2026 World Cup qualifiers following a disappointing 0-1 loss to Paraguay. This crucial defeat comes just days after a previous stumble against Australia, where despite a clear dominance in play, Turkey failed to secure a victory. Against Paraguay, the team conceded an early goal and, even with a numerical advantage for an entire half, could not manage to overturn the deficit, ultimately sealing their exit from the competition.
