Turkiye vs France Live Streaming: How to Watch the UEFA Nations League Match Online in the US, UK and India

Zinedine Zidane is set to open a new chapter in his coaching career as France travel to Turkiye for his first match in charge at the international level. Turkiye will be hoping to rebuild after a disappointing 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign when they welcome France to Kocaeli Stadyumu on Friday night. France, meanwhile, finished fourth at the tournament.

Turkiye endured a difficult World Cup, exiting at the group stage. Making their first appearance at the competition since 2002, Vincenzo Montella’s side struggled to make an impact, losing against Austria and Paraguay before beating the USA. That win, however, was not enough to secure a place in the knockout phase.

France in Commanding Position

Turkiye will need to exceed expectations if they are to reach the quarter-finals, having been drawn alongside France, Italy and Belgium. The UEFA Nations League campaign presents a difficult challenge, although Montella’s team has enough quality to compete strongly against the group’s leading sides.

The visitors, meanwhile, ended the World Cup in fourth place. Although that finish was not disastrous, France had entered the tournament among the leading contenders for the title and were likely frustrated by how their campaign ended after advancing to the semifinals.

France were beaten by eventual champions Spain in the semifinal before suffering another loss to England in a high-scoring third-place playoff. The disappointment is now behind them, though, and they will be desperate to begin the new era under Zidane with a positive result.

Turkiye will be without key players Hakan Calhanoglu and Kenan Yildiz, but Real Madrid star Arda Guler remains available. The hosts are expected to use a 4-3-3, with Ugurcan Cakir in goal and Zeki Celik, Eren Elmali, Merih Demiral and Abdulkerim Bardakci forming the defense.

Salih Ozcan, Orkun Kokcu and Ismail Yuksek should anchor midfield, while Guler and Kerem Akturkoglu provide width. Baris Alper Yilmaz is expected to spearhead the attack against France on Friday.

France could deploy a 4-2-3-1, with Mike Maignan in goal and Jules Kounde, Adrien Truffert, Dayot Upamecano and Ibrahima Konate forming the back four. Eduardo Camavinga and Adrien Rabiot are expected to anchor midfield and control possession.

Kylian Mbappe could start on the left, with Michael Olise on the opposite flank and Rayan Cherki operating centrally behind the striker. The attacking trio will support Ousmane Dembele, who is expected to spearhead France’s attack against Turkiye on Friday night.
