Türkiye's national football team has kicked off preparations for its upcoming UEFA Nations League Group A1 matches against Belgium and France, holding its first training session under head coach Sergen Yalcin in Istanbul.
According to the Turkish Football Federation (TFF), Yalcin led the squad through its opening session at the Hasan Dogan National Teams Training and Education Facilities.
The session began with warm-up exercises before moving on to five-against-two passing drills, commonly known as rondos, and wrapped up with small-sided games.
Players who had spent significant time on the pitch for their clubs the previous day followed a separate recovery program to manage their workload.
Meanwhile, national team player Aral Simsir, who is still undergoing treatment, continued working through an individual exercise program.
Tahir Ediz Kiray, the TFF board member responsible for the senior national team, also attended the session.
Türkiye will continue preparations on Nov. 11 with another training session at the same facility before taking on Belgium in Izmir on Nov. 12.
The team will then travel to France for an away fixture on Nov. 15, completing its two scheduled UEFA Nations League Group A1 matches.
