Alara Şehitler

Style of play Şehitler plays as a midfielder, specifically as an attacking midfielder. A left-footed player, Alara is known for her creativity, smooth touches, dribbling and passing skills and her powerful left-footed shots and freekicks.

Personal life In late 2024, Alara expressed her desire to remove her last name from her jersey and instead use her first name ("Alara") on the back of her football shirts, due to tasteless jokes and puns surrounding the sound and pronunciation of her second name. The application was quickly approved by UEFA, and thus Alara began playing matches for both club and country with her first name on her jersey at the beginning of 2025. The decision saw her become the first player to use only her first name on her DfB jersey.
