AustraliavsTurquía

Australia meet Türkiye at BC Place on Saturday, June 13, 2026, match 8 of the tournament and an opening statement — first impressions in a three-game sprint carry real weight. Group D sends its top two through automatically, with the eight best third-placed teams across all twelve groups also advancing — so neither side can afford a flat ninety minutes.

Vancouver provides the stage — its cable-supported retractable roof makes kickoffs weather-proof on the rainy Pacific coast. Kickoff is 21:00 stadium time (PDT); fans of Australia and Türkiye can check the exact hour back home in the times panel below.
