They are always in the shadow of the Turkish team Galatasaray S.K. who are clearly the better team compared to them. The score was 2-0. However, during the World War I, İdman Yurdu was abolished for the general mobilization for war. Because every man, from 17-40 were called join the army. After that during the Russian Occupy (1916-1918) Akritas football team supported by local Greek businessmen but after the 1992 population exchange between Greece and Turkey it was abolished too. The first official football club of Trabzon was İdman Ocağı, founded 1921 by Hüseyin Avni Aker. The form of the team was yellow and red. İn the same year Trabzon had another football club named İdman Group. There have been hard matches between those two teams for years. In 1922, six football teams were appeared in trabzon: Necmi Ati, Gençler Birliği and Lise İdman Yurdu were strong ones among them. The first matches in İstanbul organized between İdman Ocağı, Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray in 1923. In 1925, Batumi Football team was invited to Trabzon have a special match. Score was 2-0. In 1965, the Government had a project that contaied to spread football to Anatolian cities. According to the project football teams would called with the same name of the cities.


At the start of the 1962–63 season, then president of the Turkish Football Federation (TFF), Orhan Şeref Apak, asked cities to combine their football clubs into one representative team that would compete in the 2.Lig. However, due to the rivalry between İdmanocağı and İdmangücü, the city of Trabzon weren't able to merge their clubs. City and club officials would meet morning and night to iron out an agreement, but were unable to come to a compromise until 1967. Instead, only İdmanocağı, Martıspor, and Yıldızspor merged together on 21 June 1966. They began wearing yellow and red kits and competed in the 2.Lig (Second Division). They finished in eighth place their first season, as well as runners-up to Eskişehirspor in the Başbakanlık Kupası. A month later, İdmangücü, Karadenizgücü, Martıspor, and Yolspor merged to form Trabzonspor. Their club colours were red and white.

İdmanocağı opposed the merger and took up a lawsuit against the newly founded Trabzonspor. Ulvi Yenal, General Manager of the TFF, decided to step in and announce that neither İdmanocağı nor İdmangücü would be accepted into the 2.Lig if they continued to compete as separate clubs, sending a shockwave through both clubs. Yenal gave the city of Trabzon an ultimatum: merge Trabzon İdmanocağı and Trabzonspor, or Trabzon would not have a professional team. In the end, İdmanocağı and İdmangücü decided to merge, along with Karadenizgücü and Martıspor, to become Trabzonspor on 2 August 1967.The club finished sixth in their first season of professional play in the 2.Lig.They would compete in the 2.Lig until 1974, when they earned promotion.

Ahmet Suat Özyazıcı took over as manager in 1973, having played for İdmanocağı, the precursor club to Trabzonspor. Before Özyazıcı, the club competed in the 2.Lig. In his first season in charge, Özyazıcı lead Trabzon to the 1.Lig (Süper Lig, First Division).The club finished 9th in their first full season in the top-flight.[9]​ The next season, Trabzon finished in first place. They became the first club outside of Istanbul to win the league title, and remained the only team outside of the 'Big Three' to win the title until Bursaspor won in 2010. Under Özyazıcı, Trabzonspor began a spell of dominance. The club did the double during the 1976–77 season, winning the Süper Lig and Türkiye Kupası, as well as the Süper Kupa. After a second place finish and another Türkiye Kupası win in 1977–78, Özyazıcı was replaced by Özkan Sümer. Sümer won the league and Türkiye Kupası, but was replaced by Özyazıcı the following season. Özyazıcı and Sümer would continue switching posts, with the team winning more titles and cups.

Trabzonspor won a total of seventeen trophies during Özyazıcı's most successful period. These 17 trophies included six Süper Lig titles (Özyazıcı – 4, Sümer – 2), three Türkiye Kupası (Özyazıcı – 3, Sümer – 0), six Süper Kupa (Özyazıcı – 4, Sümer – 2), and two Başbakanlık Kupası (Özyazıcı – 2, Sümer – 0).The club also beat then-English champions Liverpool F.C. 1 – 0 in the first leg of their second round match-up in the 1976–77 European Cup. They went on to lose 0 – 3 in the second leg. Özyazıcı returned to the club several times throughout the late 80s to late 90s, but was unable to repeat the success he brought to the club during his first stints. Since 1984, the club has failed to win a league title. However, they have won the Türkiye Kupası five times since then, the most recent in 2010. Şenol Güneş has been the most successful successor to Özyazıcı, winning the Türkiye Kupası twice, as well as a Süper Kupa and two Başbakanlık Kupası.

Trabzonspor's colours are claret and blue. The club came to the decision after five meetings with fans and club officials. At first, it was suggested the club should wear the predecessor colours together (yellow-red and green-white), but it was deemed not suitable. It was then suggested that a poll be held, but that was also quickly cast aside. The fans and club officials began to lose patience until TFF General Manager Ulvi Yenal came up with a compromise. He suggested that both clubs, İdmanocağı and İdmangücü, should choose a colour opposite of their own club colours. It was then both clubs came up with wearing the claret and blue made famous by the fathers of league football, Aston Villa F.C.

The Claret-Blues have an estimated approximately 12 million supporters, they have a fanatical fanbase drawing most of their support from the Trabzon province and surrounding regions, recent studies have shown that 72% of Trabzon support their local club.Supporting Trabzonspor has become synonymous with being Trabzonlu (a person from Trabzon), there is a strong sense of city and regional pride in their team.Trabzonspor don’t have a unified ultra group, instead they have many splinter groups and small ultra firms, 61 Gençlik, Çılgınlar, Vira to name a few, there are around 15-20 active groups.


Trabzonspor have used Hüseyin Avni Aker Stadium throughout their history. The stadium was built in 1951 with 2,500 seats, and has been renovated in 1967, 1981, 1994–1998, 2008, and 2010. The current capacity is 28,169 seats. The field is made of natural grass and measures 68 by 105 meters. The stadium is named after Hüseyin Avni Aker, a teacher and educational administrator who contributed much to local sports in Trabzon.
Trabzonspor are renowned for their 61st minute festivities, the stadium is set alight with fireworks, confetti and a jubilant crowd. This is a Trabzonspor tradition – 61 is their city code and in the 61st minute of every game the supporters go crazy and create a great atmosphere.
