National competitions

The following national competitions are held under the umbrella of the TFF (Türkiye Futbol Federasyonu):

Turkish football championship

The Turkish Football Championship is the most important national title in both men's and women's football. The Turkish men's soccer champion has been played since 1959. The first title holder was Fenerbahçe Istanbul , the record champions are Galatasaray Istanbul . The current title holder (2017/2018) is Galatasaray Istanbul. The current Turkish women's soccer champion is Bucaspor.

In the first year of the championship, 16 teams played in two groups. The team that came first in the group qualified for the final. Galatasaray Istanbul then met Fenerbahçe Istanbul. Galatasaray won the first leg 1-0, but lost the second leg 4-0 and thus Fenerbahçe Istanbul became the first Turkish football champion. The group system was abolished in the following season. The teams have been playing in a national league for the Turkish football championship since 1959.

In the 2002/03 season , the league was renamed Türkiye Süper Ligi . In the 2005/06 season , the name was again renamed Turkcell Süper Lig . Telecommunications company Turkcell became the league's main sponsor.

Turkish soccer cup

Fortis Türkiye Kupası has been the soccer cup competition for Turkish club teams that has been held since 1962 . It is organized annually by the TFF and is the most important title in national club football after winning the Turkish Championship . The first winner of the cup was Galatasaray Istanbul, the team that is also the record winner of the cup competition (17 times). The current cup winner is Galatasaray Istanbul .

The winner of the Turkish Cup was determined according to the knockout system until the 2005/06 season .

Since the 2005/06 season there have been two main rounds in the new game system after the summer break. In the 1st main round 36 teams from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd league take part. The cup winners and the first three teams in the 1st division are excluded from this. After the 2nd main round, the group matches take place. The best 2 teams from 4 groups qualify for the quarter-finals. In the quarter-finals and semi-finals there will be a return match. Since the 2005/06 season, the tournament has been named Fortis Türkiye Kupası, the name of the Belgian sponsor Fortis . The Turkish Cup has been called Ziraat Türkiye Kupası since 2009/10.

The Turkish Supercup (Cumhurbaşkanlığı Kupası until 1998) is a football competition held by the TFF for the first time in 1966, but only since 2006, which is played before the start of the Süper Lig season.

The current Turkish soccer champions will face the current cup winner in a final. From 1966 to 1980 the competition was called Cumhurbaşkanlığı Kupası . 1981 to 1982 Devlet Başkanlığı Kupası and then again Cumhurbaşkanlığı Kupası . This competition was last played under this name in 1998. In 2006 this competition was introduced under the name of Süper Kupa .
