Trabzonspor are one of the leading football clubs of Turkey whose fame has already passed beyond the borders of the country, reaching Europe and rest of the world.
Trabzonspor's establishment and claiming their “big club” status were not easily achieved. The club was founded in two stages. In the first part, three amateur clubs İdmangücü, Karadenizgücü and Martıspor have merged with an extensive support from İdmangücü on June 21, 1966 and formed Trabzonspor. The initial kit colours of the club were red-white.
However, the merger didn't include Trabzon city's most deep-rooted sports club İdmanocağı who didn't want to join in because of several reasons. Therefore, Trabzonspor couldn't be completely incorporated with the city.
