Club career

NEC

Kadıoğlu spent his early years with NEC in the Dutch Eerste Divisie.

2018-19

In July 2018, Kadıoğlu signed for Turkish Süper Lig club Fenerbahçe[3] under Phillip Cocu, famous Dutch football manager of the club at the time. In his first season, he played mostly in Fenerbahçe U21 team and made his debut for the senior squad on December 20, 2018, coming off the bench in a Turkish Cup match against Giresunspor.[4] He also played 11 matches with Fenerbahçe U21 in U21 Ligi.

2019-20

In following season he started to find more time in the senior squad and scored his first goal for Fenerbahçe on August 19, 2019 against Gaziantep, netting the final goal in a 5-0 victory.[5]

2020-21

On his third season, after the signing of Erol Bulut, the new football manager for the club, he started to find more time in first team than in his first two seasons and became one of the key players who took more responsibility on the field.

2021-22

The following year as managers changed, under Vitor Pereira and İsmail Kartal respectively, he retained and solidified his place in the squad. Despite his young age, he was getting more full 90 minutes. On March 17, 2022, Fenerbahçe announced to sign a four year contract with Ferdi Kadıoğlu.[6]

International career

Kadıoğlu was born in the Netherlands to a Turkish father and a Dutch Canadians mother.[7] He is therefore eligible to represent Turkey, the Netherlands and Canada internationally.[8] He was a youth international for the Netherlands.[9]

In March 2021 Kadıoğlu was named to the Netherlands U-21 squad for that year's UEFA European Under-21 Championship.[10] Later that year in November 2021 Turkey coach Stefan Kuntz revealed that he was expecting Kadıoğlu to make his decision on his international future in March 2022.[11]

On 3 January 2022 his club Fenerbahçe announced that he chose to represent the Turkey national football team.[12][13] He debuted with Turkey in a 4–0 UEFA Nations League win over Faroe Islands on 4 June 2022.[14]
