List of Bursaspor seasons
Bursaspor, established in 1963, has a rich footballing history that spans across Turkey’s top-tier and lower divisions. The club achieved its greatest success in the 2009–10 season by becoming Süper Lig champions, becoming only the second club outside the “Istanbul Big Three” to win the title. Their league performances, cup campaigns, and European adventures have made them one of the most recognized provincial clubs in Turkish football.[1]
Bursaspor spent the majority of its early decades in the Süper Lig, frequently finishing mid-table with occasional high finishes, including third place in 1966–67.[2] The club experienced relegations and promotions in later decades, with stints in the 1. Lig, 2. Lig, and even 3. Lig, but managed to climb back to the upper divisions on multiple occasions, including promotion back to the top flight in 2005–06 as 1. Lig champions.[3]
Bursaspor has been a regular contender in the Turkish Cup, appearing in multiple semi-finals and finals throughout its history. The club won the 1985–86 Turkish Cup, defeating Altay, and finished as runners-up in 1970–71, 1973–74, 1991–92, 2011–12, and 2014–15. The team has played over 270 matches in the competition, showcasing a long-standing presence.[4]
In the Turkish Super Cup, Bursaspor participated three times (1986, 2010, 2015), losing all three matches, including their most recent one against Galatasaray (0–1) in 2015.[5]
Bursaspor also won the Prime Minister’s Cup twice—in 1971 and 1992—defeating Fenerbahçe on both occasions. These trophies remain part of the club’s proud domestic history.[6]
Bursaspor has taken part in UEFA competitions on several occasions. Their most notable European run came in 1974–75, when they reached the quarter-finals of the Cup Winners’ Cup. In 1995–96, they also made it to the Intertoto Cup quarter-finals.[7]
Following their Süper Lig triumph in 2010, they participated in the 2010–11 UEFA Champions League group stage, facing Rangers, Manchester United, and Valencia.[8] While they did not advance, the participation marked a milestone in the club’s international exposure.
