Turkey-France: TV channels and confirmed line-ups

France begin a new era on Friday when Zinedine Zidane takes charge of his first Nations League match against Turkey at Kocaeli. The fixture marks the start of the former coach Didier Deschamps’ successor’s tenure, with France seeking a positive opening after reaching the World Cup semi-final stage in North America under Deschamps.

The match will be shown on L’Équipe and TF1, with kick-off scheduled for 20:45. France’s selected XI is Mike Maignan in goal, with Jules Koundé, Maxence Lacroix, Dayot Upamecano and Truffert in defence. Manu Koné, Adrien Rabiot and Rayan Cherki form the midfield, while Michael Olise, Kylian Mbappé and Désiré Doué lead the attack.

Turkey will start with Cakir behind a defence of Celik, Kabak, Bardakci and Kadioglu. Ozcan and Yuksek are named in midfield, while Arda Güler, Uzun and Akturkoglu support Yilmaz. The hosts are looking to respond after a poor World Cup campaign that ended in the group phase, where they finished last despite being drawn in a group viewed as within their reach. The result will provide an early indication of Zidane’s France and Turkey’s response in front of its home supporters.
