History

The team was founded on July 1, 1966, on a proposal by the then 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 include 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 transfers the story 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 hardly 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.

Rise

The 2003/04 season was finished while the sixth, but increase it, since the then newly promoted Kayseri Erciyesspor by a role reversal with Kayserispor transferred the rights to advancement Kayserispor. They exchanged both the name as well as the entire team with Kayserispor Kayserispor thus rose to the squad from Kayseri Erciyesspor. Kayseri Erciyesspor was initially continued in the second league, before you climb as a second club from Kayseri in the Süper Lig in 2004.

Establishment in the Süper Lig

Kayserispor had not had it easy as a climber and had several game days tremble, until they were able to secure the 34th game as a table Fourteenth relegation scarce. In the next season, however, they surprised the league and reached the end of the fifth place in the table and were able to qualify in order for the Intertoto Cup. Particularly noteworthy was the performance of striker Gökhan Ünal, who was top scorer with 25 goals. Kayserispor was able to convince the new season and came after the season again on the 5th place in the table.

At the end of the 2007/08 season Kayserispor won on penalties against Gençlerbirliği Ankara 11:10, the Turkish Cup.

On December 6, 2009 Kayserispor succeeded by the 3-0 win against Bursaspor and by the blunder of the three major Istanbul clubs jump to the table top. To date, the greatest success in the Süperlig.

Kayseri in international business

Due to the strong fifth place in the table Kayserispor succeeded in the 2006/2007 season for the first time the collection in an international competition. In the second round of the Intertoto Cup, the club defeated the Hungarian side FC Sopron, reaching the final. There they convincingly won against AE Larisa from Greece 2-0 and played with it in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Cup. After they defeated the Albanian Club SK Tirana twice, they met as underdogs in the first round of the UEFA Cup runners-up the Netherlands AZ Alkmaar. The first leg they lost away 2:3. In the return match Kayseri led to sensational 1-0 Dembele equalized in the 54th minute and Kayserispor therefore stood down. Nevertheless, many experts were impressed by the team from Kayseri, as they had won the first Turkish team to the UEFA Intertoto Cup. In the 2007 /08 season Kayserispor was not qualified for the Intertoto Cup, although they had occupied again the fifth place. As with Kayseri Erciyesspor a team moved into the Turkish Cup final, which had not been qualified by a league placement for international competitions, was the Intertoto Cup starting place to the fourth- Sivasspor. For the 2008/ 09 season, qualified as Kayserispor Turkish cup winners for the UEFA Cup.
