Alanyaspor appoints new captains for the upcoming season
Corendon Alanyaspor, the city’s premier football club, has announced a significant change to the team’s captaincy role ahead of the upcoming 2026-2027 Trendyol Süper Lig season.
The new captain' s armbands will be worn by two of the team’s experienced defenders: Kosovan international Fidan Aliti and Portuguese centre-back Nuno Miguel Reis Lima.
This decision, which was made public on 31 July 2026, marks a new chapter for the team’s leadership on the pitch. Fidan Aliti, known for his robust style of play and defensive organisation, will now take on greater responsibility as one of the team' s figureheads.
He has established himself as a central piece of Alanyaspor' s defence, and his experience is expected to be vital in guiding the team through a demanding league season.
His leadership qualities and ability to communicate are well-recognised within the club.
Alongside him, he will be joined by Nuno Miguel Reis Lima, another high-profile centre-back from Portugal.
Lima’s composure and positioning have made him a key player in Alanyaspor' s defensive ranks.
The choice of two defenders as captains underscores the club' s focus on stability and leadership from the back, and serves as a signal of the new team' s direction. For football fans in Alanya and the surrounding region, as well as foreign residents and tourists who follow local football, the captaincy role is of great importance.
The captains are not just representatives on the pitch, but are also crucial to team morale and the club' s identity.
The appointment of Aliti and Lima signals continuity in the defence and a strong foundation for the coming season.
The changes come as part of preparations for a new season in Turkey’s top football division, the Trendyol Süper Lig.
For Corendon Alanyaspor, this is about building a team that can compete at a high level and continue to represent Alanya in the best possible way.
Fans can look forward to seeing the new captains lead the team in the exciting season that lies ahead.
