Between 2011 and 2013, Sucuoğlu played in the B-Juniors Mittelrheinliga for the U-17 team of SV Menden 1912 in Sankt Augustin, although she belonged to the C-Juniors division due to her age.[2] She was capped 16 times and scored two goals for them.[5][6] In 2013, she transferred to the U-17 team of Bayer 04 Leverkusen.

International edit
Sucuoğlu was discovered by the Turkish national team during a tournament in Germany. She was admitted to the Turkey girls' U-17 team. She had difficulties communicating with the Turkish officials and players as she could not speak Turkish at all.[2] She debuted on 8 April 2013 for the Turkey U-17 team in the match against France during the International Women's Under-17 Tournament in Madrid. She was capped for six games in the U-17s.[1][2]
