W Grupie D, razem z Australią, Paragwajem i Stanami Zjednoczonymi, znalazła się Turcja, która obecnie zajmuje 22. miejsce w rankingu FIFA. This is only the third time in the history of the national team's participation in the World Cup and the first in 24 years; Türkiye last played in 2000, finishing the tournament in third place. Vincenzo Montella was appointed to lead the team, continuing the tradition of Italian coaches in Turkey, after Giovanni Vargliena, Leandro Remondini and Sandro Puppo (coach appointed on 5 different occasions). Turcja zakończyła eliminacje na drugim miejscu za Hiszpanią, z bilansem 4 zwycięstw, 1 remisu i 1 porażki. Aby jednak zakwalifikować się do Mundialu, musiała zagrać w barażach. Montella's team first defeated Romania 1-0 in the semi-finals, and then won against Kosovo and thus qualified for the World Cup for the first time in history, with Kerem Akturglu scoring the decisive goal in this match. Over the course of three years as a coach, Montella has built a solid, ambitious and talented team that plans to be one of the surprises of the tournament. Kadra łączy w sobie doświadczenie i świeżość, równowagę i jakość. Hakan Çalhanoğlu is still the reference point in the team, and he was absolutely indispensable for Inter last season, scoring 12 goals and providing 7 assists in 30 appearances.
