About Denizlispor

Denizlispor is a Turkish sports club from Denizli in the Aegean region, founded on 26 May 1966 through the merger of two youth clubs, Çelik Yeşilspor Gençlik and Pamukkale Gençlik. Known for its green and black colours and nicknamed the Roosters, the club also runs volleyball, basketball and other sections. Its football team plays at the Denizli Atatürk Stadium.

Denizlispor's finest era came in the early 2000s in the Süper Lig. A fifth-place finish in 2001–02 brought its first European campaign: in the 2002–03 UEFA Cup the club knocked out Lorient, Sparta Prague and Lyon before losing in the fourth round to Porto, the eventual winners. It finished fifth again in 2003–04.

After relegation in 2010 the club spent nine seasons in the TFF First League, won it in 2018–19 and returned to the top flight for two seasons. It then suffered successive relegations into the lower divisions of Turkish football.
