He is listed as the "TUR" player for the Turkish National Basketball Team in official international records. ### **The Beginning of a Club Career** Ercan Osmani played his first season in the EuroLeague, Europe's premier club organization, in the 2023-24 season with [Anadolu Efes](/en/detay/anadolu-efes-7fd2a/llms.txt). He joined the EuroLeague A Team this season, where he was a regular on the roster and played in the organization's highest-profile matches. ### **His Career in the Countries He Played** He has played all of his professional club matches in Türkiye. He began his career with the Bandırma youth academy and has since played for Turkish teams such as Bilançonya Kırmızı, Bandırma BK, Beşiktaş, Darüşşafaka, and currently Anadolu Efes; his only international representation is with the Anadolu Efes squad in the EuroLeague. ### **National Team Career** Osmani's journey with the [Turkish National Team](/en/detay/turkiye-erkekler-milli-takim-2025-avrupa-basketbol/llms.txt) began at the 2022 FIBA EuroBasket, where he then played for the national team in the 2023 FIBA World Cup European Qualifiers and the Olympic Qualifying Tournament held that same year.
