Trabzonspor

In 1921 Trabzon İdman Ocağı were founded.^[4] Trabzonspor were founded through a merger of several local clubs including İdman Ocağı in 1967.^[5]

The club has won the Turkish league on seven occasions in 1975–76, 1976–77, 1978–79, 1979–80, 1980–81, 1983–84 and 2021–22.^[1]

In the 2010–11 season Trabzonspor finished runners-up to Fenerbahçe having achieved the same number of points, although Fenerbahçe won the title on goal difference.^[6] After the title was given to Fenerbahçe, in the summer of 2011, the season became the subject of a match fixing scandal. On 25 June 2013, UEFA banned Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş from European competitions over match-fixing.^[7] However, in 2021, all legal charges were dropped against Fenerbahçe in the later stages of the prosecutions.^[8]

Trabzonspor uses the team logo, which has the abbreviation of its name, composed of the letter "TS" in blue with a combined font on a burgundy background.^[9]

Although a number of theories have been put forward as to why the club colours of Trabzonspor are claret and blue, it has been claimed that they were adopted after the club were sent a set of kits by the English club Aston Villa after their formation in 1967.^[10]

Since December 2016, their home ground is the Şenol Güneş Sports Complex, which has a capacity of 40,782.^[11] Prior to this, Trabzonspor played their home matches at the Hüseyin Avni Aker Stadium, which has a capacity of 24,169.^[11]
