Its football team has won 21 league titles including 16 Turkish Süper Lig, three Turkish National Division and two Turkish Football Championship titles. Beşiktaş is also the only team to have won the Süper Lig undefeated, in the 1991–92 campaign. The team last won the Turkish Süper Lig title and Turkish Cup during the 2020–21 season. Its home ground is Beşiktaş Stadium, a 42,590-capacity all-seater stadium located by Dolmabahçe Palace. The stadium has been considered one of the best in the world for location, design, comfort, technology, atmosphere, and transportation.^[7][8]

The team also participates in European competitions regularly. Beşiktaş reached the quarter-finals of the 1986–87 European Cup and displayed the best Turkish team performance in the Champions League group stage by earning 14 points and progressing undefeated in the 2017–18 campaign. Beşiktaş have also reached the UEFA Europa League^{[lower-alpha 1]} quarter-finals twice, in the 2002–03 and 2016–17 seasons. Based on its UEFA coefficient, Beşiktaş is currently the 5th highest ranked Turkish team and is ranked second all-time after its rival Galatasaray.^[9]

The club's fan base, Çarşı, is well known globally.^[10] They were chosen as the best fan group in voting conducted by American sports viewers due to their 132-decibel noise record at a 2007 match against Liverpool.^[11] The group is involved with sociopolitical causes and is traditionally considered to be working-class and left-wing, supporting what is known as "the people's team".^[12] The highest ever football attendance in Turkish league history was recorded in a Beşiktaş-Galatasaray derby with 76,127 spectators.^[13][14]

The club also competes in other sports such as women's football, basketball (men's, women's and wheelchair), volleyball (men's and women's), handball, athletics, beach football, boxing, bridge, chess, gymnastics, athletics, parasports, rowing, table tennis, wrestling and esports.^[15]

History

1902–1911: establishment of the club

Members of Beşiktaş JK in 1903

Bereket Gymnastics Club was founded on 3 March 1903 under special permission from the authorities.^{[16][better source needed]} Their sporting activities gained more freedom with the declaration of the Constitutional Monarchy in 1908. After the political events of 31 March 1909, Fuat Balkan and Mazhar Kazancı, who were in Edirne,^[17] came to Istanbul with the National Movement.^[18] After the restoration of political order, Fuat Balkan, a proven fencing coach, and Mazhar Kazancı, a wrestler and weight lifter, found the youths involved in gymnastics in Serencebey and persuaded them to train together.^[18] Refik Bey and Şerafettin Bey, friends of Fuat Bey, were also fencing practitioners. Fuat Balkan made the first floor of his own home as the club's headquarters, located in Ihlamur neighbourhood of Beşiktaş.^[18] The title of "Bereket Gymnastics Club" was renamed as "Beşiktaş Ottoman Gymnastics Club". The club was turned into a more comprehensive structure, in which gymnastics, wrestling, boxing, fencing and athletics were emphasized. Mehmet Şamil Şhaplı, one of the founding members, was elected the first president of the club.^[18]

On 13 January 1910, the club became the first registered Turkish sports club in Ottoman Empire, with the encouragement of the Governor of Beyoğlu District.^[19] The interest among the youths of the neighbourhood in the sports club grew, and the number of members involved in sports quickly grew to 150. The headquarters of the club was moved from Ihlamur, Beşiktaş to Building No. 49 in Akaretler, Beşiktaş. When this building became too small, Building 84, also in Akaretler, Beşiktaş, became their headquarters.^[19] The yard behind this building was turned into a sports pitch.^[19]

Some of the young patriots from the Beşiktaş district of Istanbul formed two football clubs called "Valideçeşme" and "Basiret" under the leadership of Şeref Bey. Local football clubs "Valideçeşme" and "Basiret" joined the club, in 1911.^[20][21]

For years, the original colours of Beşiktaş were believed to be "Red and White"; and then temporarily changed into "Black and White", commemorating the martyrs of Balkan Wars, including players of the club.^[22] Although most written sources endorse this claim, a detailed study carried out for Beşiktaş's 100th anniversary documentary had shown that colour red was never used in club's first colours; and colours of the club were always "black and white".^[23]

1911–1959: initial years of football

1923–24 Istanbul Football League champion squad^{[lower-alpha 2]}

With football becoming the main sport of the Ottoman Empire around 1910, Beşiktaş members slowly started to give more attention to football.^{[lower-alpha 3]} In August 1911, Ahmed Şerafettin started the football team. With the outbreak of World War I following the Balkan Wars, sporting activities at the club effectively came to a halt as many athletes left to serve on the front lines.^[21] While the end of the war allowed surviving athletes to return, the team faced a difficult period during the Occupation of Istanbul, but was able to recover with the hard work of Şeref Bey.^[27] Beşiktaş did not enter the Istanbul Friday and Sunday leagues, and did not have any championships until 1918, when they won the Istanbul Turkish 1st Sports League.

In 1921, that particular league's final season, they won it again. In 1924, Beşiktaş entered the Istanbul Football League along with Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe and other Istanbul teams. Beşiktaş became the league's first champion of 1923–24 season,^[28] but was unable to have more success in the league. Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe were the two dominant teams through the middle of the 1930s.

Beşiktaş won their 2nd Istanbul League title in 1933–34 season,^[29] as well as their first Turkish Football Championship in the same year, beating Altay in the final 3–1 on 29 October 1934.^[30] In 1937, the Turkish National League was formed. In 1936–37 Istanbul Football League season prior to the National League's inaugural season, Beşiktaş finished in fourth place, which earned them a berth in the National League.^[31] Beşiktaş finished 3rd place in the National League, behind Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray.^[32] In 1937–38 season, Beşiktaş finished in 3rd place in the Istanbul League^[33] and, 2nd place in the National League, behind Güneş.^[34] Beşiktaş won a record five consecutive Istanbul League championships between 1939 and 1943.^[35] In the National League, Beşiktaş finished 4th in 1939, 5th in 1940,^[36] 1st in 1941^[37] and 3rd in 1943 (in 1942 the league was not held). The club won 1944–45^[38] and 1945–46 seasons^[39] in Istanbul League, as well as the national league in 1944^[40] and 1947.^[41]

1959–2001: from Milli Lig to Süper Lig

Former Turkish international Feyyaz Uçar was the top scorer of 1989–90 season with 28 goals.^[42]

Former Turkish international Rıza Çalımbay was most played football player with 602 matches.

Professionalism in football in Turkey entered into force in 1952.^[43] In 1959, the Millî Lig was formed, the nation's first professional football league.^[44] Finishing in 2nd place at White Group and failing to reach the 2-legged-final in inaugural year of the competition,^[45] Beşiktaş won their first title in the following season.^[46] In 1960, the club also participated in the European Cup, becoming the first Turkish team ever to participate in the tournament. In subsequent years, Beşiktaş finished third in both 1961 and 1962,^[47] as well as second in 1963,^[48] 1964^[49] and 1965.^[49] In 1966 and 1967, meanwhile, the club won back-to-back championship titles,^[50][51] and in the latter year, they also won their first Turkish Super Cup. In 1968, Beşiktaş finished second.^[52]

After 1967, Beşiktaş's performance declined slightly, finishing in 8th, 12th, 5th, 4th many times, while Trabzonspor, Fenerbahçe and occasionally Galatasaray continued their success. Beşiktaş only finished in second place once in the decade, in 1973–74 season.^[53]

Following a period of 15 seasons with no league title, Beşiktaş put an end to their poor performances in 1981–82 season with a surprise championship title under the management of Yugoslav trainer Đorđe Milić,^[53] earning another in 1985–86 season.^[54] They finished the league as runners-up four times in the second half of the decade.^[55]

Hooliganism was a major problem that had started in Europe and had also spread throughout Turkey. Beşiktaş fan hooliganism had been an issue with many fights inside and outside the stadium, although this has become less of an issue in more recent years.^{[citation needed]}

1987–1993: Gordon Milne era

See also: Metin-Ali-Feyyaz

Beşiktaş had their most successful run in the Süper Lig with three consecutive championships under the management of Gordon Milne in the early 1990s.^[56] Three players of the squad – Metin Tekin, Ali Gültiken and Feyyaz Uçar – were notable for significant contributions to the team during this period.^[57] These players were known as Metin-Ali-Feyyaz ("MAF") and they formed the front of the team's line-up.^[58][59] The trio is regarded by supporters as the best ever attacking line of the club.^[60] The supporters composed various chants for the trio devoted to their delighting style on the pitch, their goals, and above all for their friendship and modesty.

The only three-in-a-row title term in club history occurred in the 1989–90, 1990–91 and 1991–92 seasons. Most notably, Beşiktaş became the first and only undefeated champions in Süper Lig history.^[61][62]

Under Milne's management, the team adopted the 4–4–2 system. By playing down the lines, crossing and winning balls in the air, the team were in fine form and scored many goals. On 15 October 1989, Beşiktaş broke the Süper Lig record for the biggest winning margin in a game with a 10–0 victory over Adana Demirspor.^[63] This match was designated as one of the 16 biggest matches in club history.^[64] Collecting 79 points in 34 matches, Beşiktaş won the 1994–95 1. Lig with the German coach Christoph Daum with 79 points, 3 points ahead of Trabzonspor.^[65][66]

2001–present: recent years

Team during the 2015–16 season

The club won the Süper Lig title in 2002–03, the centenary year of its existence, under management of Romanian coach Mircea Lucescu,^[67] Following a major squad change with 9 arrivals in summer transfer window, including the return of former players Sergen Yalçın and Serdar Topraktepe, winning all 4 Istanbul derbies, losing only 1 game in league fixtures, Beşiktaş secured the title in the penultimate round against Galatasaray with a last minute winner by Sergen Yalçın, concluding the game 1–0 at İnönü Stadium.^[68] They also reached the quarter-finals of the 2002–03 UEFA Cup.^[69] In the 2008–09 season, Beşiktaş won the league title with coach Mustafa Denizli.^[70]

Following the arrival of Şenol Güneş as the head coach in 2015, Beşiktaş won the league back to back in 2015–16 and 2016–17. Following season, they made history as they became the first Turkish club to advance to the UEFA Champions League knockout phase undefeated.^[71]

Beşiktaş won the league again in 2020–21, under the management of former player and club legend Sergen Yalçın.^[72] On October 27, chaos broke out at the team general assembly, as supporters of the previous presedint and the current one clashed.^[73]

İnönü Stadium hosted the home games of Beşiktaş for 66 years, between 1947 and 2013. The first football match was played there on 23 November 1947, when Beşiktaş hosted Swedish side AIK, in a friendly game which ended 3–2 in favour of the away team.^[74][75] The club hosted their testimonial game against Gençlerbirliği in the 33rd match-day of the 2012–13 season, which ended in favour of the home side 3–0, on 11 May 2013.^[76]
