The former national player Mevlüt Erdinç, who once wore the Fenerbahçe jersey, will continue his career in the French Amateur League. The 38-year-old striker has reached an agreement with Club Sportif Anatolia, which competes in Departemental 3.

Erdinç, whose transfer to the French National 3 team (National Amateur League) Racing Besançon was announced in the summer of 2022, was unable to play due to the club's international transfer certificate issue.

3 YEARS WITHOUT PLAYING

The experienced player, who has been away from the fields for 3 years, has reached an agreement with Club Sportif Anatolia, a team representing Turks in the city of Lyon, competing in the French Departemental 3 (Regional Amateur League).

Erdinç shared his feelings with the words, "I am proud to be here because it brings many communities together," and is expected to be on the field in the first week match against USF Tarare on Sunday, September 7.

TEAMS HE HAS PLAYED FOR

In his career, Erdinç has left his mark not only in clubs like Paris Saint-Germain, Rennes, Saint-Etienne, Sochaux, and Fenerbahçe but also in the A National Football Team, and this season he will sweat for Club Sportif Anatolia.

The former national football player will thus set a great example of social responsibility by helping amateur youth and an amateur club with a professional spirit.
