Having spent the majority of his playing career in the lower divisions, Ozan İpek never represented Turkey at youth level. However, his impressive form for his club in the 2009-10 season, where he scored 8 goals as a midfielder and help Bursaspor to win the title, saw him called up for national duty. He made his international debut at the age of 23, on 3 March 2010, in a 2–0 friendly win against Honduras, coming on as a 62nd-minute substitute for Arda Turan.[2]
