International career
U-20 Saudi Arabia
He was named on the final list of the Saudi Arabia U19 participating in the 2018 AFC U-19 Championship held in Indonesia. This tournament saw Turki Al-Ammar managed an outstanding performance, scoring four goals for the Saudi side as his skillful display put up an instrumental part of Saudi Arabia's conquest of the tournament. For this reason, he was named as the best player of the competition, and was later included as young player of the year by the Asian Football Confederation, the first Saudi to ever achieve this honor.[12]
However, despite skillful performance of Al-Ammar in the 2018 U-19 Asian Cup, his performance in the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup held in Poland was a complete disappointment, with he silenced himself in many important moments as Saudi Arabia, the champions of Asia, exited from the group stage in a complete humiliation with three straight defeats, the first time since 1985.
Senior team
His impressive performance at the 2018 U-19 Asian Cup allowed him to occupy a spot in the Saudi squad, as he was first called up to the main team by then-manager Juan Antonio Pizzi for the friendlies against Yemen, Jordan and South Korea. He was unused for the match against Yemen[13] and Jordan.[14] He was later omitted from the squad for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup.
Turki Al-Ammar finally made his debut for the senior team in the friendly against Paraguay at home, came on as substitute for Yahya Al-Shehri at the second half, where they drew goalless.[15] He was also included to the final squad of the 24th Arabian Gulf Cup under coach Hervé Renard, but after the disastrous 1–3 loss to Kuwait, he is not used. Saudi Arabia eventually recovered with Turki Al-Ammar being unused to march to the final.[16]
