İstanbul Başakşehir Futbol Kulübü, formerly called İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediyespor or Istanbul BB, is a Turkish football club. They play their home games at the Başakşehir Stadi in Istanbul and is owned by the Municipality of Istanbul. The club was founded in 2014. Club's former name was ISKI SK and owned by Municipality's water distribution company. ISKI SK competed in Regional Amateur Football League in 1990-1991 season and promoted to 3rd League. After promotion, the club's name changed to Istanbul BB. The club played in TFF First League until 1996, but after the 2006–2007 season they were promoted to the Turkcell Super League. Finishing 12th in the 2007–2008 season enabled them to remain in the Turkcell Süper Lig for the 2008–2009 season. In the 2009–2010 season, the club finished the season 6th place with a historical success at its own. In the 2012-2013 season, the club finished 16th and relegated to TFF First League. But, it finished 1st League as champions and made immediate return to top level in 2013-14 season. In June 2014, the club's name changed to İstanbul Başakşehir Futbol Kulübü.[1]
Stadium
Before the name change IBB were playing their games at Ataturk Olympic Stadium but starting from 2014-2015 season the games will be played at Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadium. [2]
Fan group Boz Baykuşlar
IBB hardly had any supporters, despite playing in the country's largest stadium every home game felt like an away match. For years the Atatürk Olympic Stadium was the centerpiece to a strange spectacle, the only supporters in the stands would be fans of opposition teams. However, over time the team has won over some followers and they founded a supporter group called the, ‘Boz Baykuşlar’ (Grey Owls). [3]
They are one of the most unusual supporter groups in Turkey, their numbers are small and they never engage in hooliganism, violence or insulting the opposition. They are renowned for their witty slogans, "Bize her yer deplasman!" (Everywhere is away for us), "Hakem haklı beyler!" (The referee is right, guys), ‘Maç Var Dediler Geldik!’ (They said there was a game being played so we thought we’d come along).[4]
It is unknown if the group will stay with the club after the name-change.
