France v Turkey: Ticket prices, Bordeaux venue guide and Nations League details

France will host Turkey in their final home international of 2026 when the sides meet at Matmut Atlantique in Bordeaux on Sunday, 15 November, with tickets available from today.

The match will conclude France’s Nations League group campaign and their home fixtures for the year. Kick-off is at 20:45 CET.

Turkey will have another opportunity to defeat the two-time world champions and two-time European champions after losing 1-0 to France in Izmit in the opening round of the current Nations League. Kylian Mbappe scored the second-half winner in that match.

Zinedine Zidane, returning to management after a five-year absence, took charge of France after Didier Deschamps left following the World Cup in the summer. A Nations League title would give Zidane an immediate trophy and help ease the pressure surrounding his appointment.

How to buy France v Turkey 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 the first opportunity to buy.

Any remaining tickets are then made available to the general public as the fixture approaches. Fans seeking last-minute tickets can also use secondary platforms such as Ticombo.

Ticombo says its TixProtect security programme safeguards ticket purchases and transfers. Under the scheme, supporters are guaranteed to receive valid tickets on time or receive a 100% refund.

Ticket prices

Official tickets are expected to cost between €25 and €175, depending on the location within Matmut Atlantique. The French Football Federation usually divides its allocation into five categories:

– Categorie Or: central lower and middle tiers along the main stand, offering the best views on the halfway line – €150-€175 – Category 1: premium lower and upper tiers along the main stands, slightly away from the centre – €120-€145 – Category 2: further sections of the main stands, also across the lower and upper tiers – €95-€125 – Category 3: upper tiers behind both goals, in the north and south stands – €55-€95 – Category 4: lower tiers behind the goals, traditionally the most budget-friendly supporters’ areas – €25-€75

Fans should monitor the national team’s official channels and secondary resale sites such as Ticombo for availability as the match gets closer.

Matmut Atlantique and recent form

Opened in 2015, Matmut Atlantiquealso known as the New Bordeaux Stadiumis France’s largest sports and cultural venue on the Atlantic coast. It has a capacity of 42,115 and was built after France won the right to host Euro 2016, replacing the ageing Stade Chaban-Delmas.

Its design is inspired by classical Greek temples and the pine forests of the Landes, with 900 slender white columns surrounding the stadium. At night, the canopy appears to float above them.

The venue hosted five Euro 2016 matches, including Germany’s 18-kick penalty shoot-out victory over Italy in the quarter-final. It staged five Rugby World Cup 2023 pool matches, including games involving Ireland and South Africa, and hosted six football matches at the 2024 Paris Olympics under the name “Bordeaux Stadium”, including a men’s quarter-final.

France are ranked third in the FIFA rankings and Turkey 27th. France conceded twice in their first six 2026 World Cup matches but allowed eight goals in their next two North American gamestwo against Spain and six against England. They responded with 1-0 Nations League wins over Turkey and Belgium.

Turkey beat co-hosts United States in their final World Cup group match, but earlier defeats by Australia and Paraguay prevented them reaching the knockout stage. They then lost successive home Nations League matches against France and Italy.

France lead the historical 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. In their most recent encounter, on 25 September in Izmit, France won 1-0 in Zidane’s first match as manager. Mbappe scored in the 54th minute, finishing right-footed into the bottom-left corner after receiving a pass from Michael Olise.
