Uğur Boral (born 14 April 1982) is a Turkish retired footballer who last played for Beşiktaş in the Süper Lig.[1][2]

Boral was a gifted play-maker and surprised goalkeepers with his deceptive shot.[citation needed] He is naturally left-footed and could play as a left-sided midfielder or as a left-back, given the situation.

Club career

[edit]

Boral began his career in 1995, when he signed with the amateur club Gaziosmanpaşa Karadenizspor. In 1998, he moved to Alibeyköyspor. He was transferred to Gençlerbirliği during the 2000–01 season after his stay with Kocaelispor. In 2006, Boral signed with Fenerbahçe, where he was given the number 25 shirt. He scored two goals on his Champions League debut against CSKA Moscow on Matchday 6 of the 2007–08 season.

Boral signed a 1-year contract for Fenerbahçe, until 2012. Boral played shortly for Samsunspor in 2012, before returning to Istanbuls Beşiktas for the time between 2012 and 2015. He retired in 2015.

International career

[edit]

Prosecution

[edit]

In the aftermath of the attempted coup d'état of July 2016 he was accused of being involved in the Gülen movement. In January 2020 Boral was sentenced to 2 years and 3 months imprisonment for being a member of an armed terror organization due to his links to the Gülen movement.[6]
