France v Turkey: Ticket prices, match details and last-minute buying guide for Nations League clash

France will host Turkey in their final home international of 2026 when the Nations League group stage concludes at Matmut Atlantique in Bordeaux on Sunday, 15 November.

The match, which kicks off at 20:45 CET, offers Turkey another chance to defeat the two-time world champions and two-time European champions. France won the teams’ opening meeting 1-0 in Izmit, with Kylian Mbappe scoring in the second half.

The fixture will also be Zinedine Zidane’s first home finale as France manager. He returned to coaching after a five-year absence and replaced Didier Deschamps after the World Cup in the summer. A Nations League title would provide valuable relief from the pressure surrounding his appointment.

How to buy tickets

Official tickets are available through the French Football Federation’s ticketing portal. The federation generally releases tickets in priority windows, with registered members of the France national team supporters’ association given first access.

Any remaining tickets are then made available to the general public as the match approaches. Supporters looking for late availability can also use secondary platforms such as Ticombo.

Ticombo says its TixProtect security programme covers ticket purchases and transfers. It guarantees that tickets will arrive on time and be valid for the event, or provides a 100% full refund.

Official tickets are expected to cost between €25 and €175, depending on location inside the stadium. The five main categories are:

– Categorie Or: central sections of the lower and middle tiers, with the best views along the halfway line – €150-€175.
– Category 1: premium long-side seating in the lower and upper tiers, slightly away from the centre – €120-€145.
– Category 2: further long-side seating in the lower and upper tiers – €95-€125.
– Category 3: upper-tier areas behind both goals – €55-€95.
– Category 4: lower-tier sections behind the goals, traditionally the most budget-friendly areas – €25-€75.

Supporters should monitor the national team’s official channels and secondary resale sites for updated availability.

About Matmut Atlantique

Also known as the New Bordeaux Stadium, Matmut Atlantique opened in 2015 and has a capacity of 42,115. It is the largest sporting and cultural venue on France’s Atlantic coast and hosts football, rugby and major entertainment events.

The stadium was built after France won the right to stage Euro 2016. Bordeaux’s historic Stade Chaban-Delmas was considered outdated and unsuitable for a modern international tournament.

Its most distinctive feature is the surrounding structure of 900 slender white columns, designed to evoke classical Greek temples and the pine forests of the Landes region. At night, the canopy appears to float above the illuminated columns.

Matmut Atlantique hosted five matches at Euro 2016, including Germany’s dramatic quarter-final against Italy, which was decided by an 18-kick penalty shootout. It also staged five Rugby World Cup 2023 pool matches, including games involving Ireland and South Africa, and six football matches during the Paris 2024 Olympics, including a highly charged men’s quarter-final. During the Games, it was known as Stade de Bordeaux.

France v Turkey: form and head-to-head record

France are ranked third in the world by FIFA, with Turkey 27th. France conceded only two goals in their first six 2026 World Cup matches but shipped eight in their next two games in North America – two against Spain and six against England.

They have since regained defensive solidity in the Nations League, beating both Turkey and Belgium 1-0.

Turkey defeated hosts United States in their final World Cup group match, but earlier losses to Australia and Paraguay prevented them reaching the knockout stage. Consecutive home defeats by France and Italy in the Nations League added to their difficult summer.

France lead the overall head-to-head record with five wins to Turkey’s one, plus one draw. Across seven meetings, France have scored 14 goals and Turkey five.

Their latest encounter, on 25 September in Izmit, ended 1-0 to France and marked Zidane’s first match as manager. Mbappe scored in the 54th minute after receiving a pass from Michael Olise and finding the bottom-left corner with his right foot.
