[edit] History

Ankara SAŞ was founded as Ankara Belediye Spor Kulübü in 1978. The club has gone several name changes throughout its history. In 1984, they were renamed Ankara Büyükşehir Belediye Spor Kulübü. The name was simply switched around to Büyükşehir Belediye Ankaraspor Kulübü in 1998. Büyükşehir Belediye Ankaraspor Kulübü has many sub-divisions branching from its main football division. Theses include badminton, basketball, boxing, handball, ice hockey, judo, oil wrestling, table tennis, wrestling. Finally, in 2005, the football club changed its name to the current name, Ankara Spor A.Ş and only focused on football, while Büyükşehir Belediye Ankaraspor Kulübü continued its activity on branches other than football.[2]

On September 15, 2009, Ankaraspor A.Ş. was demoted from the Turkish Super League. “The Professional Football Disciplinary Committee (PFDK) decided to relegate Ankaraspor by one division over its relationship with Ankaragucu… ruling that it was contrary to sporting competitiveness.” [3] [4]

[edit] Club badge and colours

Ankaraspor's home colours are blue and white.

The badge consists of a blue and white coloured shield, which bears the name and the foundation year of the club. The shield features a view of an Anatolian leopard which has some panels of a football in its head and chest. This animal, which lived in Anatolia and especially near Ankara for a period of time, symbolizes the power and dignity of the club.
