Turkey and Paraguay are still yet to register a point at World Cup 2026, with just one goal scored between them.

With USA and Australia looking the strongest pair in Group D, both are likely to view this game as their best chance to pick up all-important points ahead of the last round of fixtures.

It should make it an interesting encounter, and we now know who’ll be guiding us through the action on ITV for viewers in the UK.

Turkey vs Paraguay pundits, presenters and commentators on ITV revealed

Host Semra Hunter during the FIFA World Cup 2026: European Qualifier Draw at the Home of FIFA on December 13, 2024 in Zurich, Switzerland

Your host for the evening’s action is American broadcaster Semra Hunter a Spanish football expert who is working for ITV this summer and boasts the likes of Sky Sports, the BBC and CNN on her CV.

She’ll be joined by Adam Richman, a football fan of Man v. Food fame, who’ll be on hand to provide a flavour of American culture – this game kicking off in California.

Hunter will be joined in the studio with fellow experts, to help preview the game and pick through the action at half-time and after the full-time whistle.

The first of those is former Manchester United and Chelsea midfielder Juan Mata, who is still currently plying his trade in Australia, aged 38.

He’s a former World Cup winner with Spain, who he earned 41 caps for, and should have a strong knowledge of the Turkish game, following a year-long stint with Galatasaray in 2022.

Mata will be alongside Jobi McAnuff, an ex-Jamaica winger who played for clubs like Reading, Watford and Crystal Palace throughout his domestic career.

The broadcaster are down to two pundits for this one, perhaps due to the relatively unsociable kick-off time of 4am for UK audiences.

He’ll be joined by Lucy Ward.
