Arzu Karabulut (born January 30, 1991) is a Turkish-German women's football midfielder currently playing in the Turkish Women's First Football League for Trabzon İdmanocağı with jersey number 38.[1] She is a member of the Turkey women's national football team since 2011.[2][3]

Personal life

Arzu Karabulut was born on January 30, 1991 in Cologne to Turkish parents Esef and Kevser, who immigrated to Germany in 1977.[3][4] She has three older brothers.[5]

She became interested in playing football early in her childhood and, at the age of four, joined her three brothers who were in football already.[5] She was supported by her parents, who told her, however, the education must always have priority. At the age of fourteen, she was called up for training in the Turkey women's under 19 national team, as there was no U-17 national team in Turkey at the time;[3] German Football Association coach Bettina Wiegmann had her sights on her as well,[3] but she chose the national team of her parents' native country.[4][5]

After completing her secondary education with a "Fachabitur", she began a two-year trainee program, which will last until 2014, as a tax expert assistant in her brother Irfan's office.[3][4][5]

Arzu Karabulut admits that she is a great fan of Lionel Messi. She said in a newspaper interview that she even straightens her curly hair for her admiration.[3]
