Australia
Australia vs Türkiye has not started yet, so the live score remains in pre-match mode ahead of the 12:00 AM ET kickoff on Sunday, June 14, 2026. Match 6 is the second Group D fixture at BC Place in Vancouver, a few hours after the United States beat Paraguay 4-1 to set the early table. Hakan Calhanoglu, Arda Guler, Mathew Ryan, and Mohamed Toure carry the main pre-match focus, while Kenan Yildiz remains the biggest late fitness question. That leaves real early pressure on both teams because the winner can move level on points with the group leader while the loser drops behind from matchday one.

Australia vs Türkiye Team News Before Kickoff
Australia come into the opener with the steadier late squad picture. Sports Mole's latest team-news check reported no fresh injury doubt for Tony Popovic, and Mohamed Toure still looks available after the training scare that raised concern earlier in camp.
Türkiye have the more delicate late decision because Kenan Yildiz has been dealing with a calf issue and may not be ready to start. Arda Guler has recovered from the problem that ended his club season, so the creative burden should still sit with him, Hakan Calhanoglu, and Orkun Kokcu if Yildiz cannot go.
The center-forward call also matters for the live score outlook. Australia expect Toure to lead the line, while Türkiye can use Deniz Gul as a fixed reference or shift toward a more fluid attack around Baris Alper Yilmaz.
Australia vs Türkiye — H2H Record
Australia and Türkiye have only met twice at senior men's level, and both matches came in the same May 2004 friendly window. Türkiye won 3-1 in the first meeting and followed that with a 1-0 win three days later, so Australia are still chasing a first result in this fixture.
The limited head-to-head record gives only a light guide because this is the first competitive meeting between the countries. Even so, Türkiye's old edge and the lack of recent history should make the opening phases tense once the live score starts moving.
| Stat | Detail |
|---|---|
| Total Meetings | 2 |
| Australia Wins | 0 |
| Draws | 0 |
| Türkiye Wins | 2 |
| Last Meeting | 24 May 2004 — Australia 0-1 Türkiye (Friendly) |
Both previous meetings stayed close enough to underline how important the first goal could be in Vancouver.
Players to Watch in Australia vs Türkiye Live Score Coverage
The Australia squad still leans on Mathew Ryan for calm starts, Harry Souttar for box defending, and Jackson Irvine for second-ball control. Mohamed Toure and Mathew Leckie bring the most direct threat if Australia can turn clearances into fast breaks.
The Türkiye squad brings more high-end craft through Calhanoglu, Guler, and Kokcu, while Merih Demiral and Ugurcan Cakir remain important if the match turns physical. Yildiz is still the wildcard because his status could change how much one-v-one threat Türkiye carries from kickoff.

What This Result Means for the Group / Standings
Group D already has a live reference point because the United States beat Paraguay 4-1 before Australia and Türkiye take the field. That means the winner in Vancouver can join the United States on three points, while a draw would still leave both teams playing catch-up before the next round in Group D — FIFA World Cup 2026.
Goal difference already matters after that earlier result, so even a narrow defeat could damage the chase for second place. Australia face the United States next, while Türkiye meet Paraguay, which makes this live score more than a simple opener.
