History

[edit]

Antalyaspor was established in 1966. The club competed in the lower divisions of the Turkish football league system before being promoted to the Süper Lig in 1982–83. Their first stint of top-flight football lasted for two years, and they were relegated to the TFF First League at the end of the 1984–85 season. Though promoted to the next season they were relegated again. They competed in the TFF First League until the end of the 1993–94 season when they beat İstanbulspor 3–2 in the final playoffs. Their longest stint of top-flight football lasted until 2001–02.

During that time span, the club competed in the UEFA Intertoto Cup twice and the UEFA Cup once. They reached the finals of the Turkish Cup in 2000 but lost 5–3 to Galatasaray. Antalyaspor competed in the UEFA Cup the following season, defeating Werder Bremen 2–0 before losing 6–0 in the second leg.[1]

The club was relegated at the end of the 2001–02 season, finishing one point below the relegation zone. The club was promoted back to the Süper Lig after placing second in the 2005–06 1.Lig. On 3 December 2006, Pavol Straka scored the club's 500th goal in top-flight football. In the following year they were relegated back to the TFF First League, but were promoted again the next season. They finished ninth at the end of the 2009–10 season.[2]

Finishing the regular fixtures of 2014–15 TFF First League season at 4th place, Antalyaspor beat Samsunspor at play-off finals with 6–3 after Penalty shoot-outs on 7 June 2015 and were promoted to Süper Lig once again, spending only one season at TFF First League.[3]

Colours and badge

[edit]

The club emblem includes capital letters A and S which stands for Antalya and Spor (sport in Turkish) respectively. In the middle of these letters, there is the figure of Yivli Minare which is one of the several symbols of the city of Antalya. Three rectangular shapes on the Yivli Minare represent the unity of the three teams of Antalya.[4]

Football Stadium

[edit]

Antalya's first stadium was Antalya Atatürk Stadium which fell into disrepair from 2009 onwards. That forced the team to relocate to Akdeniz University Stadium which holds 7,083 spectators. In 2013 Antalyaspor began construction of Antalya Stadium. This stadium, which opened in the summer of 2015, seating 29,307 spectators, is nicknamed 100. Yıl (Centenary), after the major boulevard of the same name, 100. Yıl Bulvarı", which is located directly south of the stadium. [citation needed]
