Mahmut Tekdemir, who played more than 500 matches for our club, including 36 in European Cups, wore the jersey of our National Team many times, was an exemplary professional both on and off the pitch, and became an important figure in both our club and Turkish football with his sense of belonging and loyalty, has been one of the most valuable cornerstones of the Başakşehir family.

With his consistency, he wrote his name among the most important players in the history of Turkish football, and as team captain, he was one of the key contributors to our precious success by scoring our championship goal in our historic 2019-2020 season.
