Israeli footballer Dia Saba visited a baby named after him, Şervan Dia Saba, and his family in Turkey, presenting the infant with a gold chain engraved with his name. The visit, which deeply moved the family, further solidified the special bond between the Israeli midfielder and the fans of the Turkish club Amedspor. The story first gained attention when a photo of the baby, born in Ergani in the Diyarbakır province, circulated on Turkish social media, showing the name "Şervan Dia Saba" on the newborn's identification bracelet. Saba has become a beloved figure at Amedspor, helping the team achieve promotion to the Turkish top league for the first time and scoring their inaugural goal in the premier division. He expressed feeling respected and loved by the local population, stating, "They show me this love every day and everywhere." He feels a greater responsibility to reciprocate this affection and support for the club. Saba has also been performing well on the field, scoring four goals in the Turkish league so far, including the second goal in a recent 3-2 victory against Beşiktaş that propelled the team to the top of the league before the international break. This is not the first instance of Amedspor fans honoring the club through their children's names; last month, a family from Diyarbakır named their son after striker the Amedspor striker, and a previous case of a child named Ronaldo was also reported in local media. Saba's visit and gift to the baby bearing his name have provided a heartwarming conclusion to this unique story.
