Ege Bilsel

In February 2025, in a Ziraat Türkiye Kupası group stage match, Ege Bilsel lined up for Bodrum FK against Antalyaspor — the club that had given him his first professional contract. Bodrum won 3-1.

Bilsel spent a year at Gündoğanspor before joining BB Bodrumspor's youth setup in 2015, and in August 2019 he moved to Antalyaspor's youth ranks. His professional debut came that same season, in the Ziraat Türkiye Kupası, where he appeared twice, including a 2-2 draw with Eyüpspor. The first professional contract followed in December 2021. He made three Süper Lig appearances across his time at the club, against 44 matches for the U-19 side and four in the Reserv Lig, where he scored once.

The move to Bodrum FK in January 2024 was a free transfer for the player, though Bodrum paid around 200,000 euros to Antalyaspor to help clear a FIFA transfer ban imposed on the Antalya club. Bilsel signed until 30 June 2028 and, for the first time, became a regular starter in the top flight — 23 league appearances and one assist in the 2024-25 Süper Lig. The season ended with Bodrum FK relegated to the 1. Lig.

His first call-up to the Turkey U-21 side came in November 2024, a friendly against Bulgaria that Turkey lost 1-0. Four days later he played against Serbia, another defeat, 2-1. He has since featured against Kosovo, Montenegro and Albania, and has yet to score at that level.
