Playing career
[edit]Club
[edit]Sucuoğlu began playing football at the age of five inspired by her father, who was the coach of the under-10 team SF Troisdorf.[2] She played with boys in the team.[2] Her father went on to coach the junior teams of IKV Eitorf 1984,[3] and SV Umutspor Troisdorf.[4] He supported Dilara Özlem continuing to play football.[2]
Between 2011 and 2013, Sucuoğlu played in the B-Juniors Mittelrheinliga for the U-17 team of SV Menden 1912 in Sankt Augustin, although she belonged to the C-Juniors division due to her age.[2] She was capped 16 times and scored two goals for them.[5][6] In 2013, she transferred to the U-17 team of Bayer 04 Leverkusen. She played in 29 matches and scored a goal in the Women's Under 17 Bundesliga West/Southwest (B-Juniorinnen Bundesliga West/Südwest) until 2015.[7][8]
Currently, she is a member of SV Menden 1912 playing as a midfielder in the Women's Regional League West (Frauen-Regionalliga-West).[5][9]
International
[edit]Sucuoğlu was discovered by the Turkish national team during a tournament in Germany. She was admitted to the Turkey girls' U-17 team. She had difficulties communicating with the Turkish officials and players as she could not speak Turkish at all.[2] She debuted on 8 April 2013 for the Turkey U-17 team in the match against France during the International Women's Under-17 Tournament in Madrid. She was capped for six games in the U-17s.[1][2]
In November 2017, Sucuoğlu was named to the Turkey women's team.[10] However, she did not appear in the friendly match played against Jordan.[1] On 7 April 2018 Sucuoğlu made her first appearance for the national team in the friendly match against the Estonia women's national football team.[11]
