Early years

Despite being the granddaughter of a well-known Muslim preacher in Ankara, and the daughter of a hajji, she was supported in playing football by her family.

After nine years with men's football teams, Necla Güngör was first appointed as a trainer for the women's national team; she then became the director of the Women's Football Department of the Federation. After serving five years as a trainer, she was appointed director of football for the Turkey girls' national under-15 team,[3] supported by Yücel Uyar, the director of the Federation's Education Department.[1] She became the first ever female football director of a Turkish national team.
