Abdülkadir Sürmeli is a 31-year-old right winger from Turkey, born in Basak, Konya. While not the most gifted player technically, he is a hard worker and is a popular member of the team due to his loyalty. During training sessions and matches, Abdülkadir is always encouraging his teammates and is known for his selfless play, always putting the team's success ahead of his individual accomplishments. Off the pitch, he is a mentor to many of the younger players on the team, offering guidance and support both on and off the field. These strong bonds with his teammates have helped Abdülkadir to make a smooth transition to playing and living in Bengaluru. He has embraced the city's rich culture and enjoys trying new foods, including traditional South Indian dishes. He often organises team outings, including trips to local restaurants and attractions, to bring the team closer together. After some initial homesickness, his family settled well in the Basavanagudi area. His family is delighted Sürmeli loves eating out because his own cooking is close to inedible.
