Mert Muldur

Mert Muldur is a professional footballer representing Turkiye. He was recently involved in a 2026 World Cup Group D match against Paraguay. During this game, Paraguay's Miguel Almiron received a red card for covering his mouth while allegedly speaking to Muldur, a new infraction under FIFA's updated rules. Although the content of their exchange is unknown, this incident marked Almiron's potential final action in the tournament. Turkiye, however, was ultimately eliminated from the World Cup following a 1-0 defeat to Paraguay, despite Paraguay playing with ten men for a significant portion of the match. The goal scored by Matias Galarza proved to be the decisive factor in Turkiye's elimination. Muldur's current relevance stems from his participation in this high-stakes international competition and the notable disciplinary incident involving his opponent.
