The Last Ottomans was founded by Mehmet Ozdemir, Turan Pakoz, and Furkan Pakoz with one clear vision – to raise the Turkish flag high and proudly represent Turkish culture both on and off the pitch.
Our mission goes beyond football. We wanted to build a club that reflects our heritage, honours our history, and unites our community under one banner. The name The Last Ottomans symbolises strength, pride, and resilience – values we carry into every match.
From day one, our goal has been to bring together talented players who not only have skill but also share our passion, discipline, and fighting spirit. We are blessed with a squad full of quality and heart – a team that plays beautiful football while staying true to our roots.
For us, this club isn’t just about winning games – it’s about creating a legacy, inspiring the next generation, and showing that with unity and belief, we can achieve greatness. Whether it’s match day battles, community events, or cultural celebrations, The Last Ottomans is here to make its mark.
This is more than football. This is heritage. This is pride. This is a family. This is The Last Ottomans.
