history
founding
The Turkish Football Association announced its intention to introduce a third-highest professional league for the 1967/68 season. The main reason for the formation of the league was: In the summer of 1959, the first national professional league in Turkish football, the Millî Lig , now known as the Süper Lig , was introduced. In the first five seasons of this league, the picture emerged that only teams from the three cities of Istanbul , Ankara and Izmir took part 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 Millî Lig in the summer of 1960, but was relegated again after just one season. After these developments, the Turkish Football Association decided in the early 1960s to start a project that would allow all provinces of Turkey to participate in professional football. To this end, the governors and notables of all provinces nationwide have been informed that, if not present, you could represent your province in this league by founding a competitive football club. As a result, new clubs were founded within a few years and applications were made to participate in the second highest league, the 2nd league, which was founded in the summer of 1963. 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 the following seasons, however, the request for league participation from the other provinces was so great that it was decided to introduce a third-highest Turkish professional league, the Türkiye 3. Futbol Ligi , in the summer of 1967 , in order to cope with the large number of clubs.
Motivated by these developments in Turkish football, the notables of the city of Tekirdağ , especially the local MP Fethi Mahramlı , began to find a club to represent the city in the 3rd league. For this purpose, a meeting was agreed, in addition to the notables of the city, the club management of the local amateur clubs Yılmazspor , Halkspor , Tekirdağ Gençlikspor and Çiftlikönüspor came together. As a result of this meeting, the Tekirdağspor Kulübü sports club , or Tekirdağspor for short , was founded through the merger of the two amateur clubs Halkspor and Tekirdağ Gençlikspor . The club colors were set to yellow-black. Yellow should stand for Tekirdağ Gençlikspor , whose club colors were yellow-blue, and black for Halkspor , whose club colors were red-black. Fethi Mahramlı was elected as the first club president. The other founding members and the first board of directors were Kemal Tüten, Hüseyin Arıtepe, Fahri Tanrıöver, Mestan Menekşe, Yılmaz Cicioğlu, Namık Uysal, Nevres Oktar, Hüseyin Karaevli, Avni Mutlu, Cemal Ünlüsaraç, Osman Alyanak.
After the club was founded, those responsible ensured that the remaining conditions were met and were granted the right to participate in the first season of the third-highest division, the third division season 1967/68 , from the Turkish Football Association .
1. Third division period and promotion to the TFF 1. Lig
Tekirdağspor established itself in the newly created 3rd Lig immediately and occupied the first four seasons places in the upper half of the table. In the 1971/72 season , the club delivered a neck-and-neck race for the third division championship with Lüleburgazspor from the start of the season . At the end of the season they finished second in the table with one point but the better goal difference behind Lüleburgazspor and thus missed promotion to the second league for the first time . While in the following five seasons they mostly occupied a place in the table at the top of the table, they had a large difference in points to the third division championship and promotion. In the 1976/77 season finally succeeded under the coach İlhan Uralgil the longed-for third division championship and thus promotion to the 2nd Lig. In the 2nd Lig they always occupied a safe non-relegation place in the middle table field for the first five seasons. With the 1982/83 season , the club always began to fight relegation. After three seasons of relegation towards the end of the season, they missed him at the 1985/86 season finale and rose after nine years of participation in the second division back into the third league.
2. Third division period and system-related relegation to the TFF 3. Lig
For the next 15 seasons Tekirdağspor played consistently in the 3rd league. In summer 2001, the three professional divisions in Turkish football were expanded into four divisions. As a result, all teams in the 3rd league that missed promotion to the next higher league were taken over for the new season in the newly created fourth-highest Turkish division, the TFF 3rd Lig . So Tekirdağspor had to relegate one league further due to the system.
Amateur years
Tekirdağspor played three years in the TFF 3rd Lig and missed relegation here in the summer of 2004. This is the first time in the club's history that you are relegated to the amateur league. In the 2011/12 season they celebrated the championship of the Tekirdağ Süper Amatoer Lig , the second highest regional amateur league . Through this championship, the club rose to the Boelgesel Amatoer Ligi , the highest regional league.
Modern times
At the end of the 2014/15 season Tekirdağspor finished the Boelgesel Amatoer Ligi as champions and thus rose to the TFF 3rd Lig. With this, the club returned to Turkish professional football after an eleven year absence.
