Trabzonspor club hub

From Black Sea title waves to 2021/22: Trabzonspor legends, squads, and FUTLOX play links.

Founded 1967 · Trabzon, Karadeniz

Trabzonspor was founded in Trabzon in 1967 and is remembered as a major non-Istanbul power centre in Turkish football. A title wave beginning in the mid-1970s made the club a permanent part of the Süper Lig story; the 2021/22 league title is a fresh landmark for newer fans.

This hub is not an official trophy list. It helps you retain legends, championship squads, and player career paths across Common Player, Intersection, Timed, and Squad Builder. Historical facts and the editorial best XI stay separate.

Notable eras

1970s: first titles and the Black Sea wave

From 1975–76 onward, Trabzonspor’s league titles challenged Istanbul hegemony and built the club’s “Anatolian / Black Sea power” identity.

Şenol Güneş and local leadership

Şenol Güneş appears twice in club memory — as a goalkeeper and later as a coach — embodying local production and leadership. This time layer helps separate squads so generations are not mixed under Intersection or Timed pressure.

1990s–2000s: Hami, Tekke and scorers

Hami Mandıralı and Fatih Tekke carried attacking creativity and finishing across different windows, often with later bridges toward Istanbul clubs.

2021/22: league title after a long wait

Under Abdullah Avcı, the 2021/22 Süper Lig title — with names such as Uğurcan Çakır, Marek Hamšík and Abdülkadir Ömür — added a new victory layer and a fixed Timed-mode cue.
