Türkiye's national football team has set an unwanted record at the 2026 FIFA World Cup after failing to score a single goal despite registering 62 shots across its first two group-stage matches.
Türkiye's tally ranks among the least efficient attacking performances in World Cup history in terms of converting chances into goals, Turkish media reports.
Türkiye opened its campaign with a 2-0 defeat to Australia before suffering a 1-0 loss to Paraguay in its second group-stage match. The consecutive defeats left the team without a point and mathematically eliminated from contention for a place in the knockout rounds before the final group fixture.
Despite creating numerous scoring opportunities, the Turkish side was unable to find the net in either match.
