Şimşekler Alanyaspor
Turkey · Founded: 1948
Alanyaspor is a Turkish professional football club based in the city of Alanya, founded in 1948. The club originally began as a local amateur side before gradually developing into a professional team competing in the national league system. Over time, it adopted its modern identity, including the orange and green colours, and became the main football representative of Alanya in Antalya Province.
For much of its history, Alanyaspor competed in the lower divisions of Turkish football, spending decades outside the top flight. The club steadily progressed through the league pyramid and achieved its breakthrough in the 2015–16 season, when it earned promotion to the Süper Lig for the first time in its history. This marked a major turning point, as the team established itself among Turkey’s elite clubs shortly after promotion.
In the Süper Lig, Alanyaspor quickly became a stable and competitive side. One of its best seasons came in 2019–20, when the club finished fifth in the league and reached the Turkish Cup final, narrowly missing out on the trophy. Following this success, Alanyaspor qualified for European competition for the first time, participating in the UEFA Europa League qualifiers, which further strengthened its reputation in Turkish football.
