In the last match of the group stage of the World Championship 2026, Zbirna Turecchini beat the USA with a score of 3:2, but lost her chances of reaching the playoffs after two defeats at the start..
The team's head coach, Vincenzo Montella, appreciates that his team is deprived of the tournament with his head held high.
" This match was important for 1000 others won. The problem at the tournament was the poor execution of chances in the first matches. We did a lot, but we didn’t score. Football - never a fair game.
The Turkish region entered the emergency situation for the first time in 24 years, and I suspect that the nation will not have to wait another 24 years to reach the world championship,” said Montella.
