history

founding

June 16, 1967, the then governor of the Muğla Province , Hasan Orhan Basa, founded the association Muğlaspor'u Kurma ve Yaşatma Derneği (German association for the establishment and continuation of Muğlaspor ). Motivated by this initiative, the city's dignitaries tried to establish an association to continue. It was within two weeks that the three long-standing associations Gençlik Spor Kulübü (founded in 1940), Yılmazspor Kulübü (founded in 1951) and Yolspor Gençlik Kulübü (founded in 1963) dissolved and merged under the name Muğlaspor .

Overview (1967-2016)

For the 1967/68 season, the club started in what was then the third highest division in Turkey, today's TFF 2nd Lig . Here the club played about six seasons and was relegated to the amateur league. In 1981 the third highest division was abolished and instead the second highest division, today's TFF 1. Lig, was expanded. As part of this expansion, clubs from provinces were also included that did not yet have a professional team in the two top divisions. Muğlaspor played the next 14 seasons in the TFF 1st Lig . In the summer of 1995, the club was relegated, but immediately managed to rise again. After a year in the 2nd Lig, the club rose again from the 2nd Lig. Here you played the next ten periods and rose to the fourth highest Turkish league, the TFF 3rd Lig . Just a year later, the club said goodbye to Turkish professional football and was relegated to the regional amateur league. A season later, the direct rise succeeded. The ascent was then followed by direct relegation. From the summer of 2010, the club was active in the regional amateur league, the Boelgesel Amatoer Ligi .

3. Return to professional football

In the 2015/16 season, the club finished the league as champions and thus qualified for the play-off phase. In this, the team failed only at Kütahyaspor . In the second round they prevailed against Sultangazispor and secured promotion to the TFF 3rd Lig . As a result, the club returned to professional football after six years.
