Türkiye’s national women’s basketball team will take on Hungary in their final game of the FIBA 2026 World Cup Qualifiers, with tip-off scheduled for 8:30 p.m. local time at the Turkcell Basketball Development Center.
Although the outcome will close out Group C standings, Türkiye has already booked its place in the finals following Japan’s win over Argentina.
Heading into the last round, both Türkiye and Hungary have followed an identical path through the group stage, each recording two wins and two losses across their first four games. This balanced record has set up a competitive final fixture, even though qualification has already been decided.
Türkiye will step onto the court knowing its World Cup ticket is secured, yet the matchup still carries weight in terms of finishing position and overall group performance.
The decisive moment came earlier in the day when Japan defeated Argentina, a result that confirmed Türkiye’s place in the tournament finals regardless of their final game outcome. This development removed any remaining uncertainty and allowed the team to approach the Hungary clash without qualification pressure.
At 5:30 p.m., Australia and Canada are also set to face off in another Group C fixture, rounding out the day’s schedule.
