Türkiye’s under-21 national football team will host Hungary in its eighth and final match of Group H in the 2027 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifying campaign. The fixture will be played at Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadium on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 8:00 p.m. local time in Türkiye. The Turkish Football Federation said the match will be broadcast live by Tivibu Spor and on the Tivibu Spor YouTube channel.
Türkiye enter the match with 12 points from seven games after recording three wins, three draws and one defeat. They are second behind Croatia, who have 16 points. Hungary have six points from seven matches, with one win, three draws and three losses. The same figures appear in the federation’s latest match notice and Anadolu Agency’s preview.
Türkiye have secured a play-off place
The Turkish side guaranteed a place in the play-offs before the final group game after drawing 2-2 with Ukraine in its previous fixture. Under the qualifying format described by the federation, the nine group winners and the best second-placed team qualify directly for the finals. The remaining eight runners-up compete in the play-offs for the other places.
The TFF said the play-off draw will take place at UEFA headquarters in Nyon on October 9. The ties are scheduled for November 13–17. The Hungary fixture therefore closes Türkiye’s group schedule, while the identity of the team’s next opponent will be settled three days later.
Squad and final preparations
Head coach Egemen Korkmaz’s squad includes goalkeepers Jankat Yılmaz, Deniz Ertaş and Serhat Öztaşdelen. The defenders are Ayberk Karapo, Mertcan Ayhan, Hamza Güreler, Yiğit Efe Demir, Yasin Özcan and Deniz Emre Ofli. Yunus Emre Konak, Baran Ali Gezek, Emirhan Boz, İzzet Çelik and Hamza Akman form the midfield group.
The forwards are Emirhan Acar, Melih Bostan, Ali Habeşoğlu, Arda Usluoğlu, Arda Çolak and Engin Poyraz Efe Yıldırım. According to the federation, the team completed its preparations on October 5 at the Hasan Doğan National Teams Training and Education Facilities. The session included activation work, warm-ups, passing drills and set-piece practice.
The list reflects the current match squad published in the preview. The starting eleven and substitutes are not confirmed until the official team sheets are issued. This report therefore makes no prediction about which squad members will take the field.
Confirmed fixture details
The official schedule lists Türkiye as the home team and Hungary as the opponent. Kick-off is at 8:00 p.m. Türkiye time at Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadium. Because the match has not yet been played, this preview and its cover image contain no score. A final score should only be reported after the fixture is completed and the result is confirmed by official sources.
This is Türkiye’s last competitive match before the play-off draw. The TFF and Anadolu Agency are aligned on the date, kick-off time, venue, group standings and broadcast information. The essential verified details for supporters are October 6, 8:00 p.m., and Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadium.
The fixture cover also uses only verified information: the “MAÇ FİKSTÜRÜ” label, both team names, the date, kick-off time, competition and stadium. No score appears because the match has not started, and no unverified logos, player faces, shirts, sponsors or betting elements are included.
