About Yeni Malatyaspor

Yeni Malatyaspor is a Turkish football club from Malatya in eastern Anatolia, founded in 1986 as Malatya Belediyespor, the club of the city municipality. It took its present name in 2010 and now plays at the New Malatya Stadium, which holds about 27,000 spectators.

The club rose rapidly through the Turkish leagues in the 2010s and reached the Süper Lig for the first time in 2017. In 2018–19 it finished fifth, its best ever league position.

That fifth place took Yeni Malatyaspor into the 2019–20 UEFA Europa League, its only European campaign. It knocked out Olimpija Ljubljana in the second qualifying round, then lost to Partizan in the third despite winning the home leg 1–0. Partizan were later punished for racist behaviour by their supporters during the tie. After relegation in 2022 the club fell into financial crisis and dropped to the lower divisions.
