Career

society

The young goalkeeper already played for the youth and senior teams of his club. In the 2006/2007 season his club loaned him to İstanbulspor , where he was in goal in 13 games. In the 1170 minutes he conceded 21 goals.

After the second goalkeeper Fenerbahçes Serdar Kulbilge left the team for the 2008/09 season, Babacan moved up a position behind Volkan Demirel . He made his debut in the Süper Lig on September 20, 2008 against Gençlerbirliği Ankara .

In the summer of 2010, Babacan moved to Kayserispor . For the 2011/2012 season he was loaned to Manisaspor . For the new season he finally moved to this club. Here he established himself as a top performer and was also appointed team captain. At Manisaspor he also rose to the senior national team.

In the summer of 2014, Babacan moved to the Süper Lig for the newly promoted Istanbul Başakşehir .

National team

Babacan took part with the Turkish U-17 selection at the U-17 European Football Championship in 2004 and was used in all three games in the preliminary round there. He was also the goalkeeper at the U-17 European Championship in 2005 and played all five games when he won the European Championship. At the subsequent U-17 World Cup in Peru in 2005 , Babacan was the captain of the team with players such as Nuri Şahin , Deniz Yılmaz , Tevfik Köse and Caner Erkin , when the team only failed in the semi-finals with 3: 4 to Brazil and ultimately took 4th place occupied.

With the U-18 selection he took part in the UEFA-CAF Meridian Cup 2005, in the same year he won a silver medal with the Turkish Olympic selection at the 2005 Mediterranean Games . Babacan was also the regular goalkeeper at the U-19 European Championship in 2006 , but could not prevent the end in the group stage. With the U-21 he failed in the European Championship qualification, in the play-offs against Belarus in 2009 and in the group stage against Switzerland in 2011.

After he knew how to convince at his club for several weeks, he was nominated for the squad of the Turkish national team by national coach Fatih Terim following the 2013/14 season as part of an 18-day international game trip . In the first game of this international trip, Babacan made his international debut in a friendly against the Kosovar soccer team . After this game he was nominated for the next six games, but was on the bench. It was not until the qualifying game for the European Championship 2016 on October 13, 2014 against Latvia that he returned to an A international match. With this game he also conquered the goalkeeper's place in the national team and guarded the Turkish goal in the following eight international matches, with the exception of one friendly game against the Luxembourg national team .

At the European Football Championship in France in 2016 , he was accepted as a regular goalkeeper in Turkey's squad and played all three games until he was eliminated after the group stage. The decisive factor for the team not being able to qualify with a win was the goal difference, especially due to the 3-0 defeat against Spain.
