Kenan Yildiz makes history as first male Vogue Turkiye cover star | OneFootball

Juventus star Kenan Yildiz has made history by becoming the first football player and above all the first man to be on the cover of Vogue Turkiye.

The player posed in a series of high fashion outfits for the photographer more accustomed to lighting up glamorous runway models than sporting figures.

The rare honour was bestowed upon Yildiz ahead of Turkiye’s participation in the 2026 World Cup, under Italian coach Vincenzo Montella, and after becoming the undisputed star of the current Juventus squad.

He just celebrated his 21st birthday earlier this month and signed a lucrative contract to stick with the Bianconeri until June 2030.

This season saw him score 11 goals with 10 assists in 47 competitive appearances for Juventus, although they failed to secure Champions League qualification at the end of the campaign.
