The Beşiktaş Jimnastik Kulübü (German: Gymnastik-Klub Beşiktaş ), known in German-speaking countries as Beşiktaş Istanbul or Beşiktaş JK for short , is a sports club from Istanbul . The club is particularly known for its soccer department, thanks to one of the most successful Turkish soccer teams . Beşiktaş İstanbul also makes it special that they were the only Turkish club to win a league championship without defeat. This was in the 1991/92 season . In addition to the soccer team, other departments, such as the basketball team , can also point to successes.

history

Early years

The Beşiktaş Jimnastik Kulübü was founded in March 1903 during the time of the Ottoman Empire by 24 young men and is therefore probably the oldest sports club in Turkey. Şamil Osman Bey was the club's first president. Sports such as wrestling, boxing, weight lifting and gymnastics were primarily practiced. At that time it was forbidden to set up sports clubs, as the then Sultan Abdülhamid II feared that insurgents could unite as a result. Despite the ban, the club continued to grow within a very short time. After the ban on associations was lifted, the association was officially re-established on January 13, 1910 under the name " Beşiktaş Osmanlı Jimnastik Kulübü " (freely translated: Ottoman Gymnastics Club Beşiktaş). Through the merger with two other football clubs (Valideçeşme and Basiret) from the closer neighborhood in 1911, the club expanded its size. Football soon became the club's main sport.

1950s

The Beşiktaş squad was the only club team to represent the Turkish national team in an international match against Greece on May 16, 1952 (0: 1), after which it was awarded the Turkish flag on the club emblem by the Turkish Football Association. The club colors of the team known today as Karakartallar , in German black eagles , were originally red and white and were based on the Turkish national football team. After the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in the Balkan Wars , the colors were changed to black and white as a symbol of mourning. Beşiktaş shows the solidarity and loyalty to the national team.

In order to send a Turkish team into the European Cup, the Turkish Football Association TFF hosted the Federasyon Kupası in 1956/1957 and 1957/1958. Beşiktaş finished both seasons as champions. But the black eagles were only able to represent Turkey in the 1958/1959 Eurocup season, as the year before they had forgotten to register Beşiktaş with UEFA for the competition. Beşiktaş became the first Turkish team to take part in the national championship cup.

It was not until 2002 that these two championships were recognized by the League Association. Thus Beşiktaş increased his championships to two more titles and thus got his second star on his coat of arms.

1960s

When the Turkish professional league was founded in 1959, Beşiktaş could not qualify for the final round. At that time the league was divided into two groups and only the first two of the group could play the championship among themselves. Beşiktaş won the championship in 1960. That year they qualified for the European Cup for the second time after 1958/59 . Beşiktaş finished 3rd at the end of the 1961 and 1962 seasons. In the following years 1963, 1964 and 1965 they were each runner-up. Eventually they won the championship in 1966 and 1967. In the same season, Beşiktaş won its first Super Cup . In 1968 Beşiktaş finished the season again with 2nd place.

1970s

After the championship in 1967 Beşiktaş had a longer dry spell. While Trabzonspor , Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray made the championships among themselves, Beşiktaş had its greatest success in the 1973/74 season when they were runner-up. The decade did not go without a title, however. In 1975 the "black eagles" won the Turkish Cup. In the final against Trabzonspor, after a 1-0 defeat in the first leg, they won the second leg 2-0.

1980s

Beşiktaş put an end to their poor performance with a surprise in 1982 by winning the Turkish championship after 15 years. Beşiktaş repeated this success again in the 1985/86 season and won his seventh championship title. In the 1986/87 European Cup , the team was able to celebrate the greatest success in club history by reaching the quarter-finals. In the encounters against Dynamo Kiev they lost the first leg 5-0 and the second leg 2-0 and thus said goodbye to the competition.

1990s

In the 1989/90, 1990/91 and 1991/92 seasons Beşiktaş won the title hat-trick with coach Gordon Milne and also the double for the first time in the 1989/90 season. In addition, a 10-0 win against Adanademirspor was celebrated in the 1989/90 season - the highest win in the Turkish league to date. In the championship 1991/92 another record could be booked in that the season ended without defeat. In the 1992/93 season Beşiktaş finished the championship level on points with arch rivals Galatasaray. Galatasaray could only win the championship because of the better goal difference. From 1993 to 1996 Christoph Daum was the coach of Beşiktaş. Under him, the team became cup winners in 1994 and Turkish champions in 1995. After Daum's departure, coaches like Rasim Kara , John Toshack , Karl-Heinz Feldkamp , Hans-Peter Briegel and Nevio Scala came .

2000s

Beşiktaş celebrates the 2006 Supercup

From the 2001/2002 season Daum was again a coach at Beşiktaş, but dissolved the contract in the course of a legal follow-up because of his illegal cocaine use after a year. Under his successor Mircea Lucescu , Beşiktaş became Turkish champions for the 100th anniversary of the club in the 2002/2003 season and reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup , where they were eliminated against eventual cup winners Valencia CF. In June 2004 Vicente del Bosque moved with his entire coaching staff from Real Madrid to the Bosporus , but he only stayed in office for seven months. His successor Rıza Çalımbay was also dismissed in the summer of 2005 for lack of success. For him, the former French international Jean Tigana came . After he had won the Turkish Cup twice and the Turkish Supercup once with Beşiktaş, his contract was terminated on April 17, 2007, as successes internationally and in the league failed to materialize. His successor, Ertuğrul Sağlam , was the first Turkish coach to lead Beşiktaş into the Champions League in 2007. On October 7, 2008 Sağlam announced his resignation after a 4-1 defeat in the UEFA Cup to Metalist Kharkiv . His successor was Mustafa Denizli , who had previously coached local rivals Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray as well as the Turkish national team. He was champion and cup winner in the first year and thus got the double for the second time in the club's history. Thus he managed to become champions with all three of Istanbul's top clubs. In the second year Beşiktaş finished the season under Denizli as fourth.

2010s

At the beginning of June 2010, Mustafa Denizli announced his resignation for health reasons. Bernd Schuster was hired for the vacated coaching position . He signed a two-year contract. This was terminated prematurely by Schuster on March 15, 2011. Then the former BJK professional Tayfur Havutcu took over the office and led Beşiktaş to the ninth national cup success in the history of the club.

As part of the investigation into the involvement of the club in the manipulation scandal in Turkish football 2011, Tayfur Havutcu was taken into custody, but remained in the coaching office for the time being. Carlos Carvalhal, previously designated as assistant coach, took over the post of head coach on August 2, 2011. For the 2012/2013 season, Samet Aybaba was hired as head coach, who was replaced by the former Croatian national coach Slaven Bilić for the 2013/14 season .

Due to financial difficulties, Beşiktaş was excluded from the Europa League for the 2012/2013 season . Immediately after the decision, the association's share lost nine percentage points of its value. A lawsuit before the CAS was unsuccessful, whereupon players like Fabian Ernst had to leave the team.

Because of a manipulation scandal in the Süper Lig from the 2010/11 season, the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Chamber imposed a ban on Beşiktaş from the Europa League for the 2013/14 season .

For the 2015/16 season , coach Şenol Güneş took over the team. With him, Beşiktaş won the Turkish Championship again after seven years on the penultimate matchday and was able to celebrate his 14th title in the league. On matchday 33, the black eagles won 3-1 against Osmanlıspor FK , making the championship perfect against arch-rivals Fenerbahçe.

On December 10, 2016, the area around the Vodafone Arena was the target of two bomb attacks . Around 10:29 p.m. local time, after the end of the first division game between Beşiktaş and Bursaspor , a car bomb exploded. Just 45 seconds later, a man blew himself up in nearby Macka Park when he was stopped by a group of police officers. At least 38 people, including 30 police officers, died in the attacks. More than 150 people were injured.

On May 28, 2017, Şenol Güneş and his black eagles achieved a success that was 25 years ago, namely defending their title. The last time this happened was in 1991 and 1992 . In addition, they secured the 15th championship and thus the 3rd championship star in the 0: 4 victory in the already relegated Gaziantepspor . With his title defense, Şenol Güneş is only the fourth Turkish coach to have succeeded in this in league history. Second place in the championship went to Istanbul Başakşehir .

On November 21, 2017, the Black Eagles made it to the last 16 of the Champions League with a 1-1 draw against FC Porto for the first time in the club's history and as the first Turkish team ever to win the group. In addition, Beşiktaş succeeded on December 6 with a 2-1 victory over RB Leipzig, winning the group without defeat and with 14 points - the highest score for a Turkish team. In the last sixteen it was then against FC Bayern Munich with 5: 0 and 1: 3.

In the 2017/18 season, the black eagles could not achieve their goal of becoming champions for a third time in a row. In the end, it was a disappointing fourth place. In the national cup they were eliminated in the semi-finals against arch rivals Fenerbahçe. They drew 2-2 in an exciting first leg. The heated second leg was canceled in the 57th minute after spectator riots and a head injury by Beşiktaş coach Şenol Güneş. The game should start again a week later from the 57th minute. In protest against this controversial decision, the Beşiktaş board decided not to run. The game was rated 3-0 for "Fener".

In the 2018/19 season, despite a very good second half of the season, they couldn't meet expectations. In the championship you could only reach third place. In the cup they were suspended due to the events of the previous season and in the UEFA Europaleague they were eliminated in the group stage.

2020s

In the 2019/2020 season, the black and white wanted to continue to live up to their title claim and signed Burak Yılmaz and Kevin Prince Boateng , who was loaned from Fiorentina in the second half of the season. The new coach was Abdullah Avcı , who was signed by league rivals Istanbul Başakşehir FK . Unfortunately, Avcı could not meet the requirements after being eliminated in the national and European cups. After Avcı's dismissal, former BJK player Sergen Yalçın was signed as his successor. Despite many injury concerns and corona infections (including Adem Ljajic and Umut Nayir ), Beşiktaş was able to finish the season third in the table after the resumption of play due to the COVID-19 pandemic . Since Trabzonspor, as runner-up, was banned from UEFA for the 2020/2021 season from the European Cup due to financial fair play , Beşiktaş was able to qualify in third place for the Champions League.

Stadion

Inönü Stadium (1947-2013)

→ Main article : İnönü Stadı

Beşiktaş played from 1947 to the 2012/13 season in İnönü Stadı in Istanbul's Beşiktaş district . The stadium opened in 1947 and was named after the second Turkish President İsmet İnönü . In 2004 the stadium was rebuilt and had a capacity of 32,145 seats until its demolition. On October 24, 2007, Beşiktaş fans broke the world volume record in football stadiums with 132 decibels in the Champions League game against Liverpool FC . This record was broken again by 9 decibels to 141 decibels in the game against Gençlerbirliği Ankara in May 2013.

The İnönü Stadı was named the fourth best stadium in the world by The Times newspaper for its location and atmosphere . From the upper tier of the stadium there was a direct view of the Bosphorus . On May 11, 2013, the last game took place in İnönü Stadı, which Beşiktaş won 3-0. Filip Hološko scored the last goal in the stadium .

Vodafone Park (since 2016)

→ Main article : Vodafone Park

After the end of the 2012/13 season, the İnönü Stadı was demolished and the new Vodafone Park built in the same place . Vodafone Park has a capacity of 41,903 spectators, with the number of seats referring to the year the association was founded. The construction costs amounted to 125 million euros. During the construction work, the team played their home games in the Ataturk Olympic Stadium and the Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadium . The official opening of the new stadium was on April 10, 2016. The new stadium was voted the second best stadium in 2016 by StadiumDB.com. On April 11, Beşiktaş played the first league game in the arena, which they could win against Bursaspor 3-2. The German international Mario Gómez scored the first goal for BJK in the new arena in the 22nd minute.

Fan culture

Çarşı

Çarşı graffiti on a house wall.

Çarşı is the most important group of Beşiktaş fans, founded in 1982 by the late Mehmet Işıklar (nickname: optics).

The name Çarşı means “market” and was given as a name because the founding members worked in various shops in the bazaar in the center of the Beşiktaş district of the same name .

The Çarşı are considered to be the pioneers of fan culture in Turkey. They are also considered to be the loudest and most aggressive football fans in the country, holding the world record of 141 decibels in terms of volume generated during football matches .

Your location for home games is the covered stand of the stadium. One of their leaders is Alen Markaryan , who has become very famous in Turkey . Çarşı emerged above all with its slogans, chants and battle cries.

But Çarşı sees itself not only as a group of fans, but as a philosophy of life that the well-known fan Alp Batu Keçeci once recorded in the following words:

Çarşı is not just a group in the stadium.
Çarşı is anyone who worships Beşiktaş with their heart.
Çarşı is a graffiti on a New York subway car ,
a lettering on a wall in Prague , written
affection on a hill in Erzincan ,
a black and white painting on any wall in Adana ,
a “Çarşı Ulan” drawing on the Wall of the Galatasaray High School ...

The symbol is the circled A for anarchy. The fact that the supporters of Çarşı are not entirely anarchists is shown by their battle cry: “Carşı Atatürk harici her şeye karşı”, in German “Çarşı is against everything, with the exception of Ataturk”. At times, the group also opposed war or nuclear energy or took part in - in some cases forbidden - May demonstrations. In May 2008 the group announced its dissolution. In addition to motivating the team, social projects in various areas of life are also an important component for Çarşı.

In 2007, to mark the 25th anniversary of Çarşı's founding, a film about the fan group was released, which was also shown in Turkish cinemas. In the film, the most important personalities of the group speak, various away trips are shown and the position of Çarşı in Turkey is reported. There is also extensive talk about the Inönü Stadium and the Beşiktaş district in Istanbul.

In early September 2014, 35 Çarşı supporters faced life imprisonment for an alleged attempted coup. Çarşı was one of the driving forces behind the protests against then Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Istanbul's Taksim Square last year . One of their defense lawyers commented on the incident with the following words: "If you read this indictment, I can't believe that this is supposed to be written by people who have passed the state examination." By contrast, the fact that they would like to get rid of the Erdoğan cabinet is by no means contested and also emerges from the election result, according to which only 15.3 percent of those eligible to vote from the Beşiktaş district had given the ruling AKP party their vote.

With the action planned before the game against Benfica Lisbon (3: 3), the supporters of the Turkish champions wanted to protest against racism and draw attention to the challenges facing the hard of hearing. Around 42,000 fans cheered for around a minute in the initial phase of the game, exclusively using sign language. First they formed the signs for “Say no to racism” with their hands and then for “Black Eagle”, the symbol of the association. Besiktas fell 3-0 down against Benfica and secured a point after a goal by Vincent Aboubakar in the 89th minute.

Rivalries

Istanbul derbies

The derby is one of the oldest and most famous city derbies in the world. Participants are Beşiktaş and local rivals Fenerbahçe . The two Istanbul clubs have been playing in Turkey since the beginning of the professional league and, along with Galatasaray, are among the "three big ones". Not least because of the enormous dominance and the high status of these teams, the games between the clubs are often considered to be decisive for the title. The first derby between the "black eagles" and the "yellow canaries" took place in 1922, which Fenerbahçe won 4-0. Since then, the Istanbul Derby has been played over 340 times.

The other “derby” is the rivalry between Beşiktaş and Galatasaray . The first game between the two clubs was played on August 22, 1924 during the championship game in the İstanbul Futbol Ligi . Beşiktaş won this game 2-0. Both clubs have played against each other over 340 times.

Other rivals since the 1970s have been Trabzonspor and Bursaspor .
