Türkiye’s preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup are entering a more detailed and controlled phase as Vincenzo Montella begins shaping both the tactical identity and physical readiness of his squad at the Turkish Football Federation’s Hasan Doğan National Teams Camp in Riva, Istanbul.
The latest session, held on Saturday behind closed doors, reflected a clear shift toward tournament-level structure rather than general conditioning.
Training opened with coordinated warm-up routines, followed by high-tempo passing circuits designed to accelerate ball circulation under pressure.
Montella’s staff then moved into positional and shape-based tactical work, focusing on compact defensive spacing, midfield connections, and transition triggers.
