history

founding

The club was founded in 1968 under the name Trabzon Beldespor in the north-east Turkish port city of Trabzon and played in the regional amateur leagues for almost three decades.

Entry into professional football and renaming to Ofspor

In the summer of 1994, Trabzon Beldespor achieved the first participation in the club's history in Turkish professional football by advancing to the 3rd Futbol Ligi , the third highest division at the time.

After two years in the third division, the club was called Ofspor and moved to the district town of Of, about 50 km east of Trabzon .

Systemic relegation to the TFF 3rd Lig

Since Turkish professional football was to undergo fundamental changes in the 2001/02 season, preparations for this change were made in the 2000/01 season. So far, professional football in Turkey has consisted of three leagues: the top division, the single-track Türkiye 1. Futbol Ligi , the second-rate five-lane Türkiye 2. Futbol Ligi and the third-rate eight-track Türkiye 3. Futbol Ligi . For the 2001/02 season, professional football was expanded to four professional leagues. While the Türkiye 1. Futbol Ligi remained unchanged, the Türkiye 2. Futbol Ligi was now in the second highest division, the Türkiye 2. Futbol Ligi Aategorisi (to German: 2. Football League Category A of Turkey ), and the third highest division , the Türkiye 2. Futbol Ligi Bategorisi (to German: 2. Football League Category B of Turkey ), divided. The subordinate Türkiye 3rd Futbol Ligi was henceforth the fourth highest division, the TFF 3rd Lig . Those teams that had only occupied a middle place in the table in the third division season 2000/01 were assigned to the newly created fourth-highest Turkish division, the 3rd Lig, for the coming season. Ofspor, which had finished the league in 10th place in the table, had to relegate to the 3rd Lig due to the system.

Return to the TFF 2nd Lig

In the 2007/08 season they reached the runner-up in the TFF 3rd Lig and thus promotion to the TFF 2nd Lig. The club then played continuously in this league until the summer of 2015. The 2014/15 season missed the team by the 17th place in the table relegation and relegated to the TFF 3rd Lig.

2. Return to the TFF 2. Lig

The fourth division season 2015/16 ended Ofspor in fourth place in the table and thus missed the direct return to the TFF 2. Lig. Instead, the club qualified for the play-off phase of the league in the last three promoted by knockout system is determined. Here the team prevailed 6: 5 against Diyarbekirspor after a penalty shoot-out in the final and returned to the 2nd league after a year of abstinence. The following season, the club missed relegation and rose again in the TFF 3rd Lig.
