History

Founded in 1954, Adana Demirspor had an irregular trajectory among the divisions of Turkish football for decades. The club gained new strength from 2021 onwards, with investments that raised its competitive level in the Süper Lig. The signing of Mario Balotelli in 2022 brought great international repercussion, with the club surprisingly fighting for prominent positions in the national championship. The team also became notable for impressive victories over Turkish giants such as Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe.
