Ilhan Fakili

Ilhan Fakili of Besiktas was born in Saint-Priest-en-Jarez, France on 20 January 2006 (age 20).

Ilhan Fakili is a Turkish left winger, born on 20 January 2006 (age 20), now with Besiktas. He wears squad number 29 and is still in the early stretch of his senior career.

The strongest part of that career so far came at Clermont Foot. Across three seasons, he made 41 league appearances and scored four league goals, with 2025-26 his most productive campaign: four goals in 33 league games. For a young wide player, that was the spell that gave his career its shape.

At Besiktas in 2026-27, Fakili has made 16 appearances in all competitions and scored two goals. That includes eight Süper Lig appearances with one goal, five in Europa League qualifying, and three in the Europa League proper, where he has also scored once. His form this season has been solid and consistent.

He has also been involved with Turkey, making two Nations League appearances this season. His career remains largely defined by Clermont, but Besiktas and international football have now given him a broader stage.
