History
The later Ülkerspor club was founded in 1975 under the name Nasasspor and was for 20 years a mediocre team in the Turkish Basketball. With the takeover of the club by the food manufacturer Ülker also higher goals were targeted.
The club was renamed Ülkerspor and denied even in the following season, the final of the Turkish Cup and also erlang the right to be able to participate in the next season on Korac Cup. In the last twelve years, certain Ülkerspor, along with Efes Pilsen, the Turkish Basketball League. During this time she denied eight times a finale and could this three times to decide for themselves. After winning the Cup in 2006, the club hired its gaming operations and merged with the basketball department of the sports club Fenerbahçe SK.
The fusion as such looks ultimately similar to the other two traditional clubs of Istanbul. Be supported while the other two clubs each from other brand names ( such as cola Turka at Besiktas and Galatasaray Café Crown in ) the Ülkergruppe, Fenerbahçe got to the setting of basketball operations at Ülkerspor the name of the group of companies. Ülkers CEO, Murat Ülker, was already previously avowed fan and a member of the club Fenerbahçe SK. Therefore, the sympathies of the CEOs are likely to have facilitated the decision when choosing a name. Ülkerspor was previously contractually bound to the ULEB Euro League since it was automatically assured a Euro League place every year in order not to lose this place played the choice of name for the merger also play a role.
However, Fenerbahce kept still at the club colors, logo, emblem, etc.. The change and fusion by Ülkerspor or Ülker will therefore be in this respect only to the sponsorship of the basketball department of the sports club.
