Current season

Kayserispor Kulübü, commonly known as Kayserispor, is a Turkish professional football club based in the city of Kayseri. Founded on 1 July 1966, the club currently competes in the Süper Lig, the top tier of Turkish football. Kayserispor plays its home matches at the Kadir Has Stadium, which has a capacity of 31,856 all-seated spectators.[3] The club's official colours are red and yellow.[4]

Kayserispor has enjoyed domestic and international success over its history. The club won its first major trophy by claiming the Turkish Cup in 2008, defeating Gençlerbirliği in the final on penalties.[5] That same year, they also finished as runners-up in the Turkish Super Cup. The team’s best league finishes have been fifth place in four separate seasons: 2005–06, 2006–07, 2007–08, and 2012–13.[6]

Kayserispor made its European debut in the 2006 UEFA Intertoto Cup, and became one of the eleven co-winners, which granted them a spot in the UEFA Cup.[7] Their most notable European fixtures included ties against AZ Alkmaar in 2006 and Paris Saint-Germain in 2008.[8][9]

History

[edit]

Origins and first years

[edit]

Football in Kayseri had several amateur clubs by the 1930s; among them Erciyes Gençlik (est. 1937) and Erciyesspor are repeatedly mentioned in local historical publications.[10][11]

In the mid-1960s, Orhan Şeref Apak’s TFF policy aimed to spread professional football to Anatolia and organise a nationwide second tier.[12] Following local meetings in Kayseri, representatives agreed to merge Erciyesspor, Sanayispor and Ortaanadoluspor under the Kayserispor name. The club held its general assembly and was officially founded on 1 July 1966.[13][14]

Kayserispor entered the newly created 2.Lig in 1966–67. The first manager was Erdoğan Gürhan.[15] Contemporary retrospectives record that the first official match was played in Kayseri against Ankara Toprakspor, with Yener Kurgil scoring in the 17th minute—considered the first goal in club history.[16][17] Kayserispor finished its debut season 10th in the 2.Lig (Beyaz Grup), with a 9W–9D–12L record.[18]

Following the late-1980s restructure, the police-affiliated side in the city competed as Kayseri Emniyetspor. After the General Directorate of Security moved to withdraw police teams from national leagues, a civilian board took over and the club adopted the Kayseri Erciyesspor name.[19][20]

Across the 1990s the team operated under municipal ownership with successive name changes documented in federation records: Büyükşehir Belediye Erciyesspor (1992–96), Melikgazi Belediyesi Erciyesspor (1997–99) and Hacılar Erciyesspor (1999–2001).[21][22][23] Hacılar Erciyesspor won Group 3 of the 3. Lig in 1999–2000 and moved up to the 2. Lig.[24] They later secured promotion positions from the 2003–04 2. Lig (Category A), earning a place in the top flight.[25]

On 9 July 2004, a general assembly in Kayseri approved the switch of name, badge and colors: the promoted Erciyesspor took the Kayserispor identity, while the other side continued as Kayseri Erciyesspor. [26] Early in that first season, manager Hüsnü Özkara departed after seven league matches and Hikmet Karaman took over; the team avoided relegation with a 14th-place finish.[27]

2008 Turkish Cup Final starting lineup

European debut and first major trophy

[edit]

Under Ertuğrul Sağlam, Kayserispor finished fifth in the 2005–06 Süper Lig, while striker Gökhan Ünal won the league’s top-scorer award with 25 goals in 32 matches.[28][29]

The club entered the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2006, defeating Sopron and AEL to become one of the competition’s eleven “joint winners”, which qualified them for the UEFA Cup. In the UEFA Cup they beat Tirana in the second qualifying round and were eliminated by AZ in the first round (3–4 aggregate).[30]

Kayserispor placed fifth again in 2006–07. Sağlam then left to manage Beşiktaş in June 2007, and Tolunay Kafkas was appointed.[31][32] Under Kafkas, Kayserispor earned a third straight fifth-place league finish and won the 2008 Turkish Cup, defeating Gençlerbirliği on penalties in the final.[33]

Robert Prosinečki was appointed head coach on 15 October 2012; Kayserispor finished fifth in 2012–13 before being relegated the following season.[34] Kayserispor returned immediately as champions of the 2014–15 TFF First League, clinching the title with a 3–0 win away to Elazığspor. [35][36]

2019–present: New leadership and recent seasons

[edit]

At the end of 2019, board member Berna Gözbaşı was elected club president, becoming the first woman to lead a men’s top-flight club in Turkey.[37][38]

In the 2021–22 season the club introduced a light-blue third kit featuring Seljuk motifs and an “Autism Awareness” mark, presented as a community-awareness design by the club, in accordance with corporate social responsibility (CSR).[39][40] The team reached the final of the 2021–22 Turkish Cup, losing 3–2 after extra time to Sivasspor at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul.[41]

Following a general assembly in December 2022, Ali Çamlı became club president; he was re-elected in June 2024 and again in September 2024. [42][43][44] On the pitch, Kayserispor finished 9th in 2022–23 and reached the Turkish Cup quarter-finals.[45] In 2023–24 the club placed 14th.[46]

There were several coaching changes across these seasons: Recep Uçar was appointed in September 2023, followed by Burak Yılmaz on a two-and-a-half-year contract in January 2024; Yılmaz resigned in September 2024. Sinan Kaloğlu took charge in October 2024, and in January 2025 Sergej Jakirović was appointed head coach on a 1.5-year deal.[47][48][49][50][51] Under Jakirović, Kayserispor put together an unbeaten run in early 2025 and climbed clear of the bottom places.[52][53]

Keeping the club clear of relegation at the end of the 2024–25 season, Jakirović's additional one year option contract was exercised. Days later Hull City announced him as their new head coach on a two-year deal.[54][55] Kayserispor then reached a deal with German coach Markus Gisdol and completed a two-year contract following an official signing ceremony on 22 June 2025.[56][57][58]

Stadium

[edit]
See also: Kayseri Atatürk Stadium and Kadir Has Stadium

Prior to moving to Kadir Has Stadium in 2009, Kayserispor played at the centrally located Kayseri Atatürk Stadium (opened 1960; demolished in January 2009).[59][60] The club’s first European home fixtures were staged there, including the 2006–07 UEFA Cup first-round tie against AZ Alkmaar (1–1 in Kayseri) and the 2008–09 UEFA Cup first round versus Paris Saint-Germain (1–2 in Kayseri, 0–0 in Paris).[61][62][63]

Kadir Has Stadium (sponsorship: RHG Enertürk Enerji Stadyumu) is a multi-purpose venue in Melikgazi, Kayseri, and the home ground of Kayserispor. It opened on 8 March 2009 with the Süper Lig match Kayserispor–Fenerbahçe.[64][65] The all-seater capacity is 31,856 and the stands are fully covered.[66] The ground forms part of the Atatürk Sports Complex on the city’s western approach. The municipal description and national team match booklet note that the Kayseray light-rail corridor runs by the stadium, providing access from the city centre.[67][68]

In 2022, RHG Enertürk Enerji acquired the venue’s naming rights, with the stadium currently marketed as the RHG Enertürk Enerji Stadyumu.[69] The stadium has hosted Turkey internationals, including a 4–2 win over the Estonia in a 2010 World Cup qualifier on 5 September 2009.[70][71] Kayserispor’s first-team and academy activities are centred at the Kadir Has (Karpuzatan) training facilities in Kocasinan.[72]

Colors and crest

[edit]

The crest shows Mount Erciyes above a two-part shield; the letters “K” and “S” sit on the red and yellow halves, and the founding year “1966” appears at the base, as specified in the club’s 2024 corporate identity guide.[73][74] Mount Erciyes is widely used as a symbol of Kayseri, which explains its prominence on the badge.[75] The club’s official colours are red and yellow. The corporate guide defines the palette (e.g., Pantone 187 C for red; Pantone 1235 C for yellow) and supporting crest tones (sky blue and navy for Erciyes, plus grey/black outlines).[76]

Colour change with Kayseri Erciyesspor (2004–05)

[edit]

On 9 July 2004, following Kayseri Erciyesspor’s promotion, the two city clubs held general assemblies and swapped the Süper Lig berth under the Kayserispor name.[77] Contemporary reporting notes that the name, badge and colours were interchanged in that process.[78] The following season, Kayseri Erciyesspor formally changed its kit colours from red–yellow to blue–black (with white as secondary), confirming the split identity thereafter.[79]

Rivalry

[edit]

Kayserispor holds one of the most intense rivalries in Turkish football with Sivasspor, which began after a tragic match in 1967 that led to 43 fatalities, an event widely regarded as the worst stadium disaster in Turkish football history.[80]

See also: Kayseri Atatürk Stadium disaster

The rivalry between Kayserispor and Sivasspor stems from regional proximity, cultural identity, and longstanding competition between the cities of Kayseri and Sivas in central Anatolia. It intensified sharply following their first professional meeting on 17 September 1967 in a Second Division (White Group) match at the Kayseri Atatürk Stadium. The game was abandoned amid serious crowd trouble; 43 people died and hundreds were injured. Turkish national outlets and the federation’s record describe the day as one of Turkish football’s darkest.[81][82]

Contemporary reports and later research recount that tension escalated after a 20th-minute goal by Oktay Aktan for Kayserispor; stone-throwing between sections followed, fans fleeing the violence in panic caused a stampede in front of the stand exits. As the exit gates opened inward, many fans died because they were crushed and suffocated.[83][84] The incident has been the subject of a dedicated book that drew on press archives and eyewitness interviews.[85]

In the immediate aftermath, authorities halted the competition and issued disciplinary measures. Sources from the period note forfeit rulings and ground-closure sanctions, and officials in both provinces faced administrative consequences; the football authorities also avoided placing the two clubs in the same league group for years.[86][87]

The rivalry remains one of central Anatolia’s most charged fixtures and has also appeared on the national stage: the clubs met in the 2022 Turkish Cup final at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium, with Sivasspor winning in extra time.[88][89] An annual commemoration is held in Sivas on 17 September for those who died in 1967.[90]

Supporters

[edit]

Kayserispor has a dedicated and regionally passionate fan base drawn primarily from the city of Kayseri and surrounding central Anatolian provinces. The club’s largest organized supporter group is Kapalı Kale (literally “Closed End”), which was founded in 2005 and is named after the traditionally vocal stand in the old Kayseri Atatürk Stadium. [91] The group is active on matchdays and known for its large flags, coordinated chants, and strong stance on local representation in club affairs.

Kayserispor supporters traditionally occupy the eastern stands of the Kadir Has Stadium, where drums, megaphones, and choreographed tifos are coordinated by the main groups. In high-profile derbies, especially against Sivasspor or Kayseri Erciyesspor (when active), fan presence typically fills the entire lower tier.[92] Kayserispor fans are known for their loyalty during difficult periods. During the 2023–24 season—despite multiple managerial changes and relegation fears—the average attendance remained over 9,000 per match.[93]

The club and its supporters have also engaged in charitable initiatives. Kapalı Kale and other fan groups helped coordinate donations and logistics during the 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake, using club facilities as aid centers. [94] Kayserispor does not currently have an official fan club abroad, but diaspora communities in Germany and Netherlands have organized viewing groups and social media communities that follow the club closely.
