founding

Adanaspor was founded in 1954 by Mehmet Şanlıtürk, Mustafa Bekbaş, Erol Erk, Ali Gedikbaş and Dr. Muzaffer Eraslan founded. In the founding year, the team played in the 2nd amateur league and managed to move up after just one season. At this point the team played in blue and yellow jerseys. In 1966, the clubs Adana Akınspor and Adana Torsosspor dissolved and merged with Adanaspor. Other sources report a merger of the associations Adana Akınspor and Adana Gençlikspor in 1965. To what extent the association founded in 1965 or 1966 is related to Adanaspor, which was founded in 1954, is unknown. This should create a professional club. Thus, Adanaspor was able to play in the Second Turkish Football League from the 1966/67 season . Since this step, the association has had the colors orange and white. The province of Adana is one of the largest agricultural areas in Turkey and has the largest cotton-growing area in Turkey . The white in the club colors symbolizes cotton, as shown on the club logo. The club color orange is associated with the citrus plant orange , which is heavily cultivated in this region.

Promotion to the 1st league and Turkish runner-up

In the 1970s, the local industrialist Sakıp Sabancı was a patron of Adanaspor . With his financial support, the club signed a well-known first division coach, Bülent Eken, for the season . Although Eken had expressed very high salary expectations including bonuses in the contract negotiations for a second division coach, Sabancı personally accepted Eken's demands. In addition, with Đorđe Milić and Branislav Velković , the club had two foreign players in the squad, which was unusual for the time. These two players were added to the squad, in part at Eken's wishes, with further domestic signings such as Reşit Kaynak , Ali Osman Renklibay , Selahattin Kara , Behçet Arkun and Tufan Akdemir . This reinforced squad ended Adanaspor the second division season 1970/71 sovereign as a master and rose for the first mail of its history in the first league on. After the end of the regular season, the club prevailed in the Cup of the Ministry of Youth and Sports against Izmir Denizgücü and won its second title.

From 1971 to 1984 Adanaspor played continuously in the 1st Turkish Football League. During this time, the club showed remarkable success. 1981 Adanaspor was behind Trabzonspor Turkish runner-up . Previously, in the 1974/75 , 1975/76 and 1977/78 seasons , 4th place in the 1st Lig was reached three times. As a result of these successes, the team qualified three times for the UEFA Cup and once for the Balkan Cup .

Relegation to the 2nd Lig

After the very successful first division years, the club rose at the end of the 1983/84 season in the Türkiye 2. Futbol Ligi , the then 2. Turkish league. Adanaspor rose to the top after four years.

Short return to the 1st Lig

After four years in the 2nd league, the club managed to return to the 1st league at the end of the second division championship in 1987/88 . Promoted to the 1st league, the club always played for three years to stay up. Due to the bad economic situation and constant board changes in the club, the bad situation also made itself felt on the team. So the team rose to the end of the 1990/91 season as bottom of the table for the second time in the second division.

The Uzan era

In the early 1990s, the businessman Cem Uzan bought himself as a patron of the association and had himself or his younger brother Hakan Uzan elected as the association's president. In 1996 it was decided at a general meeting that Adanaspor should spin off as a stock corporation . So Adanaspor Spor Faaliyetleri A.Ş was founded. With the financial support of the Uzan brothers, several seasoned first division professionals and a number of promising young players were signed. After these investments, the team rose under the leadership of head coach Ercan Albay at the end of 1997/98 after seven years back in the 1st Lig . After the promotion to the 1st Lig Uzan invested even more in the team.

The club rose in the 2000/01 season in the 2nd division. Joachim Löw was employed there from December 20, 2000 to March 4, 2001 that season. After only one season, Adanaspor rose immediately back to the Süper Lig.

The securities were sold to the Uzan family. Due to the poor economic situation of the family, Adanaspor ran into financial difficulties again. In 2004 the club entered the 2nd division. This was followed by further relegations in the next few seasons until the club fell into the 4th division in 2006. In December 2005 the association wanted to dismantle the stock corporation and was about to dissolve the association. On June 9, 2006, the Turkish Football Association decided that the club could continue to play as a club.

The Akgül era

After the club was confiscated by the insolvency practitioner as part of his group of companies as a result of the ongoing investigation against Cem Uzan and the team disbanded, the club slipped into the TFF 3rd Lig , the fourth highest Turkish league, by 2006 . After this sporting and financial decline, the local businessman Bayram Akgül took over the club and led him back to the TFF 1st Lig as club president within two years .

Returned to the 1st Lig, the club occupied mostly middle table places for eleven years. Only in the 2009/10 and 2011/12 seasons did the club play for promotion and only missed it in the league's ploay-off phase. The 2009/10 season ended the team as third in the table, so missed direct promotion to the Süper Lig , but secured participation in the play-off phase of the league. In the play-offs, the team also missed the last opportunity for promotion.

The 2011/12 season started with the new coach Levent Eriş and experienced a mixed season. At the end of the season they achieved through good performances in the last weeks of the game they reached 6th place in the table and thus participation in the playoffs . In the semi-finals of the playoffs they prevailed against Çaykur Rizespor and thus reached the final. In the final they lost to Kasımpaşa Istanbul 2: 3 in extra time and thus missed promotion to the Süper Lig only in the last encounter.

Return to the Süper Lig

The club started the second division season 2015/16 by promoting its long-time junior coordinator Eyüp Arın to head coach. He had saved the club from relegation in the last days of the last season as interim head coach. In the summer of 2015, the team was fundamentally restructured under Arın's leadership and, instead of the 13 lost players, it was rejuvenated with new signings and young players. The club started the season mixed and always occupied places in the table, always in the middle and lower third of the table. Despite several successful games, Arın was unable to continuously catch up with the top third of the table. After the 1: 2 away defeat on Matchday 11, he resigned and was replaced by Engin İpekoğlu .

Under İpekoğlu, the club resumed league operations with a 2-1 home defeat against Boluspor , but they then started a successful series of 19 league games with 14 wins and three draws. Through this series, the team gradually worked their way up the table, taking over the lead in the table on matchday 21, setting themselves apart from their pursuers more and more in the following game days.

On matchday 31, the club defeated Gaziantep Büyükşehir Belediyespor away after a 2-0 deficit with a last-minute goal with 2: 3 and thus secured promotion to the Süper Lig after 13 years of absence. Da on this matchday Multigroup Alanyaspor the last rival for the second division championship suffered a point loss, Adanaspor secured the second division championship on this match day.
