History

The team was founded on 1 July 1966 at the suggestion of former Turkish Prime Minister Adnan Menderes and the mayor of Kayseri. At the time had Kayseri Although a stadium, but no professional team that could represent the city in the Turkish football championship. The then president of the Turkish Football Federation Orhan Sefik Apak wanted that football in all cities of Turkey is a major sport and tried the football outside the big cities in western Turkey to market. For this reason, he launched a campaign by offering the cities to take up this new team in the second Turkish football league during a merger of two local clubs. This is what happened in the case of Kayseri, because the representatives of the city not in time for the perception of the place in the second division agreed that the Football Association could accommodate the new teams only in a new (third) league. Thereupon, the officers of both clubs Erciyes Gençlik, Yeni Sanayispor, Fenergençlik and Ortaanadoluspor agreed to form a single association to merge Kayserispor with the colors red and yellow. For the team logo located on the outskirts of the legendary Mount Erciyes is selected. The name Kayserispor should remain to the present day so more on that later.

Since it was deemed a start in the third division as unworthy, then president of the Football Association Apak was invited to Kayseri. From the presentation of the sports centers and the stadium itself Apak was so impressed, that was recorded Kayseri but in the second division. After a large relief operation in the city for the newly established team those responsible brought to this time large sum of 65,000 lira together. The first thing you undertook the coach Gürhan Erdogan, the previously coached the team from Erciyesspor. After several revisions in the squad and some new transfer, the history of the most successful team of the city began in the second Turkish league.

1970s and 1980s

End of the 60s played Kayserispor rather in the middle of the second division, but in the 1972/73 season the team scored a sensational success and we finished the season in first place in the league, even before Trabzonspor, the later 6 times Turkish champion should be the first league and to this day is still considered one of the four major Turkish clubs. After two years in the first division, the team had to go back to the second division again. 1978/79, the team failed to qualify for the premier league with a goal difference of 66 goals again. In the same season you got an unpleasant opponent with Galatasaray in the Turkish Cup competition, despite the difficulties they defeated Galatasaray and qualified for the first time for the semi-finals of the Cup, but in which they lost against Adana Demirspor. In the same year Kayserispor built the first training center for a football team of Turkey before the big clubs of İstanbul. A year later the team but rose again from the second division. In the 1984/85 season the team again rose to the first division, but in 1986 had the team back to the second division which caused a long-lasting crisis with them, the Kayserispor 1989/90 brought to the third tier. One of the main reasons was that the mayor barely interested in football and Kayserispor and thus the financial support of the city was no longer available. But after the election of the mayor Niyazi Bahcecioglu a year later the team got back money from the city and was able to buy important player and for this reason succeeded in 1991 as a master in the third division of promotion back to the second division.

1990s

In the season 1992/93 even managed to carve out the first of the second division with a huge point gap to second Petrolofisi. In the following years it managed the club halfway to establish itself in the Turkish league and four years to prove himself first class, before we again descended to the 1996/97 season but in the second division. While it managed its chances of promotion, but rose ended up being promoted again. The club then remained still second-rate.

Current

After seven seasons in the second division the club was relegated to the 2005/06 season and again in the Turkish league. Previously, both the city of Kayseri, as well as the club's management decided to two important changes in the association. For one, the name of Kayserispor in the current name Kayseri Erciyesspor and secondly the club colors were changed to blue-black in the season 2004/2005. Both changes were a measure that allowed the city ascended rivals in the premier league despite qualifying for the promotion, the club was replaced by quasi Erciyesspor and the " roles" of both teams swapped. A year later they managed but then also the rise and thus represented the second team from Kayseri in Turkey Süperlig. Shortly before the winter break of the season 2006/ 07 Bulent Korkmaz has been committed as a coach. Kayseri Erciyesspor reached Bülent Korkmaz for the first time in history a team from Kayseri Turkish Cup final, but they failed unhappy in extra time against the runner- Beşiktaş Istanbul. By participating in the Cup final but qualified it for the UEFA Cup. Despite the soaring under new coach you were only 17 and dismounted. Currently the club plays in the Bank Asya 1 Lig, the second- highest division of Turkey.
