Former Germany, Real Madrid and Arsenal star Mesut Özil, who retires in 2023, became a board member of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party) on Sunday.

The German-born 2014 World Cup winner became a member of the AK Party's central council at a congress in Ankara where Erdogan was re-elected for a ninth time as chairman of the party that has governed Turkey since 2002.

Özil, who ended his club career in Istanbul, is a supporter of Erdogan, having chosen him as his best man in 2019 for his wedding to former Miss Turkey, Amine Gülse, KosovaPress reported.
