Turkey Women defeated Germany Women 63-62 in a friendly match on Wednesday, 27 August 2026. The result gives the visitors a narrow victory in what proved to be a tight contest between two sides with contrasting recent form.
Germany had dropped points in their previous two outings, losing 68-62 to Hungary and 65-60 to Spain. Turkey, meanwhile, had shown resilience with a 62-52 win over Czech Republic after a 76-77 defeat to the same opposition just a day earlier.
Without minute-by-minute events to chart the flow, the match appears to have been decided by fine margins. By then, both teams had been testing each other throughout, though the decisive moments remain unclear from the available data.
The recent results suggest Germany have struggled for consistency, with losses to Hungary, Spain and Belgium in their last five matches. Turkey's form has been more mixed, with victories over Portugal and Czech Republic alongside defeats to Hungary and Czech Republic.
For Germany, the result extends a run of setbacks. They had won 81-73 against Nigeria and 78-57 versus Colombia in March, but the last three outings have brought three defeats. To be fair, the margin against Hungary and Spain was not insubstantial.
Turkey's victory adds a positive note to their recent programme. They had lost 89-74 to Hungary in March before picking up wins against Portugal and Czech Republic. The one-point margin over Germany suggests the game could have gone either way.
