Kadri Göktulga (born January 1, 1904 in Istanbul ; † October 23, 1973 there ) was a Turkish football player and official. Through his long work for Fenerbahçe Istanbul and as a home-grown man, he is very strongly associated with this club. He has been involved in several important successes in Fenerbahçe in particular and Turkish football in general. So he counted in 1923 in General Harington Kupası to the starting lineup of Fenerbahçes. In the 1970s he worked for Fenerbahçe as a club official and vice-president.

societies
Göktulga learned to play soccer in the youth department of Fenerbahçe Istanbul . After the entry of the Ottoman Empire into the First World War on August 2, 1914, all football players from Fenerbahçe's first team and from the other Istanbul teams were gradually drafted into military service. So inevitably younger players moved up to the first men's team. Young Goktulga was one of these players. For the first team Fenerbahçes Göktulga began from the 1921/22 season in the İstanbul Cuma Ligi (German: Istanbul Friday League), the most prestigious league in the country at the time. This league was the only one that continued to play between 1915 and 1918. But since the Ottoman Empire was one of the losing powers, the capital Istanbul was occupied by troops of the British , French and Italians at the end of the First World War . As a result of the war situation and the subsequent occupation of Istanbul , the Cuma Ligi was no longer continued after the summer of 1918. The English groups organized their own clubs and a league. Due to the occupation, almost all local clubs, with the exception of Fenerbahçe, restricted their activities for about two years.
During the occupation, the English and French occupation troops founded their own clubs and organized several league systems. Except for Fenerbahçe, all other Turkish clubs refused to play in a league with the occupying teams. Fenerbahçe participated very successfully in these leagues and tournaments and won 60 of the 68 games against the occupying teams, drew four times and lost only four games. As a result, the popularity of Fenerbahçe among the local population increased significantly and the games became a reflection of the tense situation within the city. In this environment Fenerbahçe took part in the reintroduced Friday League from the summer of 1920. Göktulga came in the second season after the resumption of league operations, the season 1921/22, in the team. After the championship was awarded to arch-rivals Galatasaray Istanbul this season , Göktulga won the championship of the 1922/23 season with Fenerbahçe. This championship, in which Fenerbahçe played twelve games, reached the team undefeated and without conceding a goal.
Before the end of the occupation of Istanbul, the commander of all occupying forces of Istanbul, General Charles Harington Harington , organized a cup game named after him, General Harington Kupası . For this game, which Harington attached great importance to winning, he personally organized a selection tournament within the occupying teams, in which the Irish Guards, Grenadiers Guards and Coldstream Guards participated. After the tournament games, he selected the players he considered suitable from these three teams. In addition, he had four professional football players from the British troops stationed in Egypt and Gibraltar brought to Istanbul especially for this game . From all these football players he had a team set up, which he named Coldstream Guards . He then had an advertisement printed in a daily newspaper that the Coldstream Guards were challenging the Turkish team and that they could compete against them in General Harington Kupası in any combination. Fenerbahçe responded to this newspaper advertisement by saying that they would only accept the challenge with their squad. Both teams competed against each other on June 29, 1923 in the Taksim Stadium . Göktulga was one of his team's starting XI in this historic game. Fenerbahçe won the prestigious game 2-1 and caused great joy among the local population.
With the end of the occupation of Istanbul and the establishment of modern Turkey, football was also reformed in Istanbul. After several Istanbul leagues such as the Friday League and Sunday League existed in parallel in some seasons and competed with one another, the Istanbul Futbol Ligi (German Istanbul Football League ) was introduced in the summer . This league replaced or united all previous leagues and ensured that all known Istanbul clubs played in the same league. Göktulga took part in this league with his team and played for Fenerbahçe in this league until the summer of 1931, without being able to win the championship once. Only in the season 1924/25 he did not take part with his club in the competition of this league. In the 1929/30 season he was with his team champions of this league and was one of the squad that won this title for Fenerbahçe for the first time. This season, Göktulga's team won the İstanbul Şildi , an Istanbul football tournament. After his club failed to defend their title in the 1930/31 season, Göktulga ended his career.
National team
Although Göktulga had not previously played a game for the Turkish national team , he was nominated for the tournament squad for the 1924 Summer Olympics . During this tournament he made his international debut in the game against the Czechoslovak national team . From then on, Göktulga was one of the regularly nominated players on his team for four years.
Göktulga took part in the 1928 Summer Olympics with the Turkish national team. He made a total of ten international matches.
Functionary career
In March 1970 he was elected to the cabinet of club president Faruk Ilgaz and was active as vice-president. In August 1967 he resigned from his position as an official of Fenerbahçe.
