Club

Şahin began playing football in Elit Çimenspor,[2] a Balçova-based club in her hometown, after receiving her license on October 22, 2004. Some years later, she wanted to leave the club for the newly established Konak Belediyespor due to disagreement with her coach. However, her club did not release her license, and so she had to take part only at training sessions of Konakspor Belediyespor for one-and-half years. In February 2008, she transferred officially to Konak Belediyespor, where she plays since then.[1][2][4]

She made her first appearance in the 2013–14 UEFA Women's Champions League qualifying round match playing against the Bulgarian team FC NSA Sofia on August 8, 2013.[5] Her team managed as the first ever Turkish women's club to make it into the Round of 16.[6] However, the Austrian opponent SV Neulengbach eliminated Konak Belediyespor in two games while Şahin was not able to save the six goals in total.[7]

Şahin made her national team debut in the friendly match against Macedonia women's national football team held on January 22, 2006 entering the game on the 82nd minute.[8] After playing 14 matches with the national U-19 team, she became a member of the senior team in 2011.
