Cem Felek (born 12 May 1996) is a professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder. Born in Germany, he has represented both Turkey and Azerbaijan at youth level.

Club career[edit]

Youth career[edit]

Born in Buchen, Germany, Felek spent much of his youth career with German sides, most notably a 5-year spell with Eintracht Frankfurt. He was linked with a move to Spanish giants Barcelona in 2010, having scored over 1000 goals at youth level.[1] In 2014, he transferred from Bochum to Scottish Premiership side Aberdeen,[2] where he stayed for a year, making the first-team bench once in 2014 before being released in May 2015.[3]

Fatih Karagümrük[edit]

In 2015, he was linked with a move to Turkish giants Galatasaray,[4] but the move never materialised and Felek instead joined TFF Second League side Fatih Karagümrük in July.

Antalyaspor[edit]

In August 2015, Felek was loaned to Antalyaspor, where he featured for the Antalya-based club's 'B' team.[5] He made his debut for Antalyaspor senior team in the Turkish Cup 1–0 away victory against Giresunspor on 21 January 2016. Felek also played in the Turkish Cup group stage match, coming on as a 74th-minute substitute for Lionel Enguene in a 0–0 home draw against Fenerbahçe on 27 January 2016.

RoPS[edit]

In January 2017, Cem Felek joined Finnish side RoPS.[6] Felek made his Veikkausliiga debut for RoPS against VPS on 17 April 2017. He scored his first goal for RoPS in the Finnish Cup match against OPS in a 9–0 home victory on 11 February 2017.[7]

KuPS[edit]

Felek went back to Finland for the 2019 season. The deal with KuPS was announced on 3 December 2018.[8]

International career[edit]

Felek is eligible for Germany through his place of birth, Turkey through his parents, and Azerbaijan through his extended family.[2] He played a single game for the Turkish under-15 side in 2010, a 3–0 victory over The Netherlands.[9] He has represented Azerbaijan at under-17[10] and under-19 level. In June 2012, he helped the under-17 side win silver medals at the Caspian Cup.[2]
