Türkiye vs Poland - September 9, 16:00 CET
It's a game with high stakes for Türkiye who positioned themselves as one of the leading candidates for the podium, thus putting the pressure of expectations on themselves. However, history will need to be written for that to happen as Türkiye have made it into the top four only twice so far - in 1949 and in 2001 on home soil.
Can Ergin Ataman's well-oiled machine continue its unbeaten run and do something big? Poland also have a say in this as Igor Milicic is once again leading a group of reliable, tough players who bow to no-one and are always on the lookout to stir up some upsets.
Precisely that happened in 2022 when Mateusz Ponitka led Poland into the Semi-Finals and he's looking to replicate that, but this time with Jordan Loyd's help. Can this dynamic duo overcome Alperen Sengun and co?
