Emre Mor

Emre Mor — Biography

Emre Mor is a winger and attacking midfielder who grew up in Denmark and chose to represent Turkey. At Euro 2016 he became the youngest Turkish player ever to appear at a European Championship. He now plays in the Netherlands for NEC Nijmegen, having signed a two-year contract in July 2026 after a trial.

His career began at Brønshøj Boldklub in Copenhagen and ran through the Lyngby youth system to FC Nordsjælland. He moved to Borussia Dortmund in June 2016 for about 9.75 million euros, but found little playing time. A transfer to Celta Vigo followed in 2017, where discipline problems limited his minutes. He then went out on loan to Galatasaray and Olympiacos. During a loan at Fatih Karagümrük he scored his first hat-trick, against Kayserispor, and that form led to a permanent move to Fenerbahçe in 2022. At the start of 2024 he was loaned back to Karagümrük.

After appearing for Denmark at U17, U18 and U19 level, he switched to Turkey in 2016. At Euro 2016 he started against the Czech Republic and set up Burak Yılmaz's opening goal, and he was named in the tournament's young talents team. In March 2025 he was recalled to the national side after almost eight years away. On 11 August 2026 his extra-time goal against Olympiacos took NEC into the play-off round.
