Trabzonspor is a professional Turkish football club located in the city of Trabzon, Turkey. Formed in 1967 through a merger of several local clubs, Trabzonspor have won six Süper Lig championship titles. The Club won their first Championship title in 1975 which is also the Club's inaugural year in the Süper Lig. Trabzonspor won the championship title again during their second year in the league in 1976, finished runners-up in 1977 and won 3 Championship titles in a row during the following years 1978, 1979, 1980.

History

In 1921 the İdmanocağı club were founded.^[3] Trabzonspor AS were founded in 1967.^[4]

In 1975–76 season they won their first championship, and won further titles in 1976–77,1978–79,1979–80, 1980–81 and 1983–84.^[5]

They won the Turkish Cup in 1992 and 1995.

In the 2010–11 season Trabzonspor finished runners-up to Fenerbahçe for points. However Fenerbahçe on goal difference.^[6] Two months had passed after the end of the season when the 2011 Turkish sports corruption scandal broke out. The Turkish Football Federation banned Fenerbahçe from joining any UEFA competition for a year. Trabzonspor's board of directors applied to the Turkish Football Federation about this season's champions being them but their application was denied on the grounds that this season's decision had already been made.

Colours and emblem

The claret and blue shirt

The most important issue in the establishment of Trabzonspor was the colors of the club. Although a number of elaborate theories have been put forward as to why claret and blue was adopted, it transpires the club chose the colors in simple tribute to the famous and historic English club Aston Villa.^[7]

Irish club Drogheda United shares the same symbols and colours, and both clubs recently declared to be brothers. These were given in favor of the Ottoman Empire's great assistance during the Irish famine.^[8][9]

Stadium

Their home ground is the Hüseyin Avni Aker Stadium, which has a capacity of 24,169.^[10]
