Player career

society

The beginnings of Oktay's footballing career are almost undocumented. From the early 1920s he played for Karşıyaka SK . With this club he played in the İzmir Futbol Ligi (German Football League Izmir ), the regional football league of the western Turkish port city of Izmir . Since there was no international professional league in Turkey at the time , regional leagues existed instead in metropolitan areas such as Istanbul , Ankara and Izmir, of which the İstanbul Futbol Ligi (also called İstanbul Ligi, German Istanbul Football League ) was considered the most renowned.

In the summer of 1928, Oktay finally moved to the traditional club Galatasaray Istanbul . For this he started to play in the İstanbul Ligi. In his first season for Galatasaray, he was also the Istanbul champion. After he had awarded the championship in the 1929/30 season to arch rivals Fenerbahçe Istanbul with his club, he was able to win this again with his club in the 1930/31 season .

Oktay played for Galatasaray until the summer of 1932.

National team

Oktay began his national team career in 1926 with a commitment for the Turkish national team in a friendly against the Romanian national team . In this international debut, he also scored his first goal in the national dress. By September 1926, he completed another international match and was then no longer nominated.
