Turkey set to square off against Spain in the inaugural match of the Women's Volleyball World Championship.
The Turkish women's volleyball team is set to make their sixth consecutive appearance at the Women's Volleyball World Championship, this time in Thailand. The tournament, which will progress through the round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals, a third-place match, and the final, will see Turkey compete in Group E, alongside Spain, Bulgaria, and Canada.
The match against Spain will mark the beginning of Turkey's World Championship journey, scheduled for 3:30 p.m. (GMT+3) on Saturday at Korat Chatchai Sports Hall. As a seeded team, Turkey has been placed directly in Group E, a testament to their consistent performance in recent years.
Group E is not unfamiliar territory for the Turkish team, as they also played in this group during the 2025 World Championship, qualifying for the knockout stage. However, the specific result of their quarterfinal match on the 3rd of September 2025 is not detailed in the available sources.
Turkey's best result in the World Championship was a 6th-place finish in 2010, with a record of 7 wins and 7 losses. Subsequent campaigns saw Turkey place 9th in 2014, 10th in 2018, and 8th in 2022.
The Turkish team's roster features several experienced players, led by long-time captain Eda Erdem Dundar. Dundar, who has competed in five World Championships, will undoubtedly be a key player in Turkey's quest for a higher ranking this year.
The top two teams from each group will advance to the knockout stage, providing a challenging but exciting competition for all teams involved. As the tournament unfolds, fans and spectators alike will eagerly watch to see how the Turkish women's volleyball team will fare in this year's World Championship.
