The team played in the Turkish first division for 15 seasons, and after the 1983\u201384 season the football team played in the Turkish second and third divisions. The team was promoted to the Turkish second level division after the 2008\u201309 season. M\u0130Y became the champions of the Turkish second division during the 2010\u201311 season and earned promotion to the Turkish S\u00fcper Lig during the 2011\u201312 season. Previous ground of the team was 10,125 capacity Tevfik S\u0131rr\u0131 G\u00fcr Stadium.[1] In 2013, their new 25,534 person capacity stadium, Mersin Arena, was inaugurated on 23 March 2013 with a TFF First League match against Gaziantep B\u00fcy\u00fck\u015fehir Belediyespor. Their main rivals were Adana Demirspor, Adanaspor and Tarsus \u0130dman Yurdu, and were friendly with Bucaspor.The name “Mersin \u0130dman Yurdu” was originated as Turkish equivalent of “Mersin Sports Club”. In the beginning of the Republic, many of the sports clubs carried the names as such. Later, most of those clubs, either by merging or renaming, changed their names. The “\u0130dman Yurdu” name remained for some clubs throughout the country. Later it has lost its meaning. Therefore, “\u0130dman Yurdu” has become a particular name for the club. Then, the club adopted the name “Mersin \u0130dmanyurdu Sports Club”. In its original form, the club’s name is written separately. However, because of the norm that noun phrases which have lost their meaning are written contiguously, the team’s name has become “Mersin \u0130dmanyurdu”. Today, both depictions are common in Turkish for M\u0130Y: Some write it separately (In Turkish, abbreviations are possible, even if the words had been conjunct). Club website has shown divergent interests.Their nickname is \u015eeytanlar (meaning “Devils”) or K\u0131rm\u0131z\u0131 \u015eeytanlar (“Red Devils”).Their song is “\u015eampiyon yap bizi \/ Cehennemde yak bizi” (“Make us the champs \/ Burn us in hellfire”).History[edit]      Mersin \u0130dman Yurdu park, a part of Mersin coastal park reserved for Mersin \u0130dman Yurdu, with view to Mu\u011fdat Mosque  Mersin \u0130dman Yurdu is one of the oldest clubs of the Mediterranean region. The club was founded on 16 August 1925 as Mersin Gen\u00e7lerbirli\u011fi (English: Mersin Youth Union) during a meeting between Edip Buran and his friends \u0130brahim Yekta, Fevzi Serdenge\u00e7ti, As\u0131m G\u00fcler, Muhip Bat\u0131beki, Necati Salim, L\u00fctfi Resimci, Sami \u0130stanbullu, Hayri G\u00fcntekin, Hakk\u0131 Cemal \u00dc\u00e7er, Hasan Tahsin, and Mustafa L\u00fctfi. Their aim was to provide Mersin’s youth with activities to fill their spare time with sports during long, hot summer days in Mersin. Later, the club obtained a license with the participation of other founders, namely \u0130brahim Bigam, \u0130hsan Da\u011f\u0131stan, Hamit Abey, Rauf S\u00fcleymaniyeli, Semih Can, \u00d6mer, Cevdet T\u00fcrkmenli, Kaz\u0131m K\u0131rzade, and Muharrem Ye\u011fin.[3]The first colors of the team were red and white. The club changed its name to Mersin \u0130dman Yurdu in 1926, and their colors were changed to red and dark blue.[4] The logo was established as three connected circles, the center circle in red and the left and right circles in dark blue.Mersin \u0130dman Yurdu had won the regional title every year since its foundation until 1964, except during the 1949\u201350 season when Mersin Demirspor captured the title. In 1944, the team reached the third place in the Turkish Football Championship. In 1952, the club inaugurated their new stadium, Tevfik S\u0131rr\u0131 G\u00fcr Stadyumu,[5] by playing an opening match that was tied 3\u20133 with Galatasaray.[6]In 1957, the club became sponsored by the \u00c7ukurova Group and adopted the name \u00c7ukurova \u0130dmanyurdu. The team again finished third in the Turkish Amateur Championship.[6] \u00c7ukurova \u0130dmanyurdu, as “a rather well-known amateur club from the city of Mersin”,[7] turned professional and was promoted to Turkey’s first second level league founded in 1963. \u00c7ukurova \u0130dmanyurdu again became the amateur champions of Turkey in 1963. When they became a part of the Turkish second division they were one of only three clubs that came from outside of the major cities of Istanbul, Ankara, and \u0130zmir, the other clubs being Adana Demirspor and Bursaspor.In June 1966 the club changed its name to Mersin \u0130dman Yurdu after three seasons and became champions of the Turkish second division in the 1966\u201367 season. At the end of that season they won the Prime Minister’s Cup by defeating the Amateur League champions. Beginning in the 1967\u201368 season they played in the Turkish top level division (S\u00fcper Lig) for 7 consecutive years and 11 years in total.After the 1982\u201383 season, M\u0130Y was relegated from the S\u00fcper Lig. They played in the second division until the formation of a one-group second level division in 2001\u201302. Because of their place in the 2000\u201301 season they were automatically relegated to third level formed under the name of “Second League, Category B”. They spent one season there and were promoted to the second division (Second League, Category A). After the 2005\u201306 season, they were relegated to the third division again.In 2008, Ali Kahramanl\u0131 was elected president of the club. They finished the 2008\u201309 season in the TFF Second League playoffs in second place and advanced to the second division, now with the name TFF First League, also known as Bank Asya 1. Lig. After spending two seasons in the TFF First League, M\u0130Y became the champions of 2010\u201311 Bank Asya 1. Lig and were promoted to 2011\u201312 S\u00fcper Lig after being absent from the S\u00fcper Lig for 28 years. Their championship was widely attributed to coach Nurullah Sa\u011flam, who took over the team after the 9th week during that season. They finished S\u00fcper Lig as 12th in the 2011\u201312 season but relegated again to First League after finishing 18th or last in the 2012\u201313 season. M\u0130Y finished the First League as 6th and qualified for the promotion play-offs in the 2013\u201314 season. They beat Orduspor 3\u20130 on aggregate and 2\u20130 Samsunspor and returned to top level at the first attempt. M\u0130Y finished the 2014-15 season as seventh. However, next season was a disaster for M\u0130Y due to financial problems. Eventually M\u0130Y relegated to second level after a 2-0 defeat to \u00c7aykur Rizespor on 29 April 2016.After the city of Mersin hosted the 2013 Mediterranean Games, there was an urgent need to build a modern stadium in the city. After the games were over, the club started to use the stadium for their league games. The stadium has a capacity of 25,534 people and it is one of the most modern stadiums in Turkey.[8]Honours[edit]Domestic competitions[edit]Third place (1): 1944Winners (1): 1967Runners-up (1): 1982\u201383Winners (1): 1963Regional competitions[edit]Adana Professional Football LeagueWinners (1): 1959\u201360Winners (4): 1926, 1927, 1931, 1933Others[edit]Third place (1): 1969 (Represented Turkey in a friendly tournament, and played four matches against Pakistan, Spartak Moscow, Iran, and Iraq in a one-leg league system; finished third with 2 wins and 2 losses.
