history
founding
The first club formation that was not registered by the Turkish Football Association dates back to 1951. In April 1967, this association merged with the two smaller local associations Sivas Yolspor and Sivas Kızılırmakspor to form today's association Sivasspor Kulübü or, in short, Sivasspor . As a symbol for these three clubs, the club logo contains three stars. The background to this association was the following:
In the 1963/64 season, the second highest Turkish league in professional football was founded as a single-track league with 13 teams. This league was founded after the first division was founded in the summer of 1959, when the first national professional league in Turkish football, the Milli Lig , now known as the Süper Lig , was introduced. In the first five seasons of this first division, the picture emerged that only teams from the three cities of Istanbul , Ankara and Izmir participated in the game and the remaining provinces of Turkey stayed away from the league. Only Adana Demirspor from the fourth largest city Adana made it into the Milli Lig in the summer of 1960, but was relegated again after just one season. After these developments, the Turkish Football Association, under the leadership of the association's president Orhan Şeref Apak, decided in the early 1960s to start a project whereby all provinces of Turkey could participate in professional football. For this purpose, the governors , mayors and notables of all provinces nationwide were informed that, if they did not exist, they could represent their province in this league by founding a competitive football club. As a result, new clubs were founded within a few years and applications for participation in this league were submitted. The second highest division, the Türkiye 2. Futbol Ligi , started for the first time in the 1963/64 season. Since the provinces applied for the establishment of a club, the fulfillment of the conditions or the participation at different speeds, the league was played again in its first seasons with teams mainly from the four largest cities Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir and Adana. Only with Çukurova İdman Yurdu and Bursaspor two teams from other provinces took part in the game.
In Sivas the association was founded through the efforts of the governor Vefik Kitapçıgil and the mayor Ahmet Durakoğlu . The latter was also elected as the first club president. After meeting all the requirements, the newly founded Sivasspor took part in Turkish professional football for the first time in the second division season 1967/68 . The first coach hired was the former Turkish international Hilmi Kiremitçi , who was to lead the team both as head coach and as an experienced player on the field. Their first season ended the team in 16th place in the table and thus achieved the class remaining.
Promotion to the Süper Lig
Sivasspor was in the second division season 2004/05 champion of the 2nd Lig Aategorisi and rose for the first time in its club history in the highest Turkish league, the Süper Lig , on. The club was only at the end of the third division season 1998/99 as champions in the 2nd Lig Aategorisi , in the second highest league at the time, rose. In the following years, the promotion to the top division was missed again and again. In the first year in the highest Turkish football league, Sivasspor finished eighth after the 2005/06 season. In the second year they improved by one place and finished seventh. Sivasspor started the 2007/08 season very well and was autumn champion at the end of the first half of the season with 37 points . Thus, after a break of 14 years, an Anatolian club won this unofficial title again. At the end of the season, they finished fourth. The following year they were also autumn champions, this time with 37 points. At the end of the 2008/09 season it was enough for the runner-up title, which Sivasspor was allowed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League .
However, the 2009/10 and 2010/11 seasons were less successful for the club, where they were 15th twice and thus just missed relegation.
In the 2011/12 season it was again more successful for the club and reached 7th place after 34 match days, which qualified them for the Sportoto Süper Lig Europa League play-offs, where they only finished 8th.
In the 2012/13 season they reached 12th place in the middle of the table and reached the semi-finals of the Turkish Cup, where they were eliminated against Trabzonspor.
In the 2013/14 season they signed Roberto Carlos, a new and prominent coach who reached 5th place in the table after being in 4th place in between. You were thus eligible to start in the Europa League for the 2014/15 season, but you were excluded from UEFA because you were involved in the manipulation scandal.
In January 2015, the club signed a name sponsorship agreement with the Medicana hospital chain for a year and a half. After that, the club led the company name in its club name for the duration of the contract and was therefore called Medicana Sivasspor . After the 2015/16 season , Sivasspor rose as table-16. from the Süper Lig.

Stadion
Sivasspor played its home games in Sivas 4 Eylül Stadı . With the promotion to the Turkcell Süper Lig, the club was forced to modernize the stadium. Since the renovation, it has a capacity of 18,700 spectators. Qualification for the UEFA Champions League required further renovation, which included enlarging the VIP areas, press office and roofing of the main stands. At the beginning of 2012, plans for a new stadium were presented. A modern, energy-efficient stadium with a capacity of 33,000 was to be built together with the state housing company TOKI, which among other things financed the Türk-Telekom-Arena in Galatasaray . This included the use of solar energy on the stadium roof and the use of wind to air-condition the interior. Construction should start shortly after the end of the tender. Work on the new Sivas Arena started in May 2013 . The capacity was reduced to 27,000 before the start. From the 2016/17 season, Sivasspor will play in the new 27,532-seat stadium.

Change to the 2019/20 season
Fan friendship
The club is characterized by its loyal following in Sivas, Anatolia. There has recently been a fan friendship with Kayserispor , which is characterized by the fact that they have forgotten the dark past (in 1967 there were 40 deaths in both fan camps during a dispute in a point game) between the two cities and recognized that violence is no solution . Since then, when Sivasspor and Kayserispor play against each other, both fan camps have always looked at their games in a brotherly manner.

Trainer (selection)
In 2005/06 the German coach Werner Lorant trained the team. However, after he resigned prematurely to move to Saipa Tehran , the Slovak Karol Pecze took over the coaching post . However, he was replaced by former Turkish international Bülent Uygun in November . Under the leadership of Uygun Sivasspor was runner-up in the 2008/09 season for the first time in the club's history. On October 4, 2009, Bülent Uygun quit his job as head coach due to the bad start to the season. His successor was Muhsin Ertuğral , who also resigned on March 22, 2010. His successor was Mesut Bakkal . After this coaching change on matchday 27, there was no win or loss for the Sivasspor team until the end of the season in the league. But with the eight drawn draws, relegation to the second division could be prevented.
