Scotland and Turkey UEFA Euros Tournament Record
Neither Scotland nor Turkey have ever reached a major tournament final. Yet, despite their lack of historical success in the UEFA European Championships, both nations are filled with hope for the future.
The Scottish national team had participated in three UEFA European Championship tournaments prior to Euro 2024. They’ve never advanced beyond the group stage in any major international tournament. Their Euro 2020 adventure ended in abject disappointment after finishing rock bottom of their group with a single point.
Turkey has shown more glimpses of promise in past tournaments. They had participated in five European Championships before Euro 2024. Turkey's best performance undoubtedly came at Euro 2008, where they reached the semi-finals before being defeated by Germany.
Since 2008, Turkey have either failed to qualify or been eliminated at the group stage.
Scotland vs Turkey Head to Head
Remarkably, Scotland and Turkey have only met on two previous occasions. Both were friendly matches, 62 years apart.
In June 1960, they faced off for the first time in the city of Ankara, with Turkey running out 4-2 winners. They met in a second friendly match in November 2022, and Scotland were beaten once again. John McGinn scored an excellent goal, but Turkey won the match 2-1.
