Eren Elmalı was born on 7 July 2000 in Turkey. He is a young Turkish defender who developed through the club football structure in Turkey, establishing himself in the Süper Lig as part of the generation of defenders emerging after Turkey's experienced backline of the early 2020s.
His role in the Turkish national team setup has been as a developing option in the defensive unit, building toward the 2026 World Cup as one of the younger members of the squad. He represents the next wave of Turkish defenders coming through behind established names such as Demiral, Bardakcı and Ayhan, and his selection reflects the depth and forward planning in Turkey's national team structure under Vincenzo Montella.
Public career information available about Elmalı is limited at the time of writing, as he is at an early stage of his international career; this profile will be updated as more detail is confirmed and his club career develops further through the 2025-26 season and beyond.
