==History==
{{sect-stub}}
Galatasaray was founded in the [[autumn]] of [[1905]] by [[Galatasaray Lisesi|Galatasaray Lycee]] students as a [[football (soccer)|football]] club. Galatasaray's first president was [[Ali Sami Yen]]. Their first match was against Kadikoy Faure School and they won this match 2-0.<ref>[http://www.galatasaray.org/English/Corporate/history/detail.asp?pid=2422&haberid=289785 Galatasaray's official site: First match and foundation]</ref> There were discussions about the club's name, in which some suggested Gloria (victory) and others Audace (courage), but it was decided that its name would be Galatasaray. According to researcher Cem Atabeyoğlu, Galatasaray took its name from one of its first matches. In that match, Galatasaray won 2-0 over [[Rûm]] club and the spectators called them "Galata Sarayı efendileri" (in [[English language|English]]: Gentlemen of Galata Palace), and, after this event, they adopted that name and started to call their club "Galata Sarayı". In [[1905]], during the era of the [[Ottoman Empire]], there weren't any laws for associations so the club couldn't be registered officially, but, after the [[1912]] Law of Association, the club registered legally.<ref>[http://www.galatasaray.org/English/Corporate/history/detail.asp?pid=2422&haberid=289786 Galatasaray's official site: History of founding]</ref>


Galatasaray were founded on Autumn [[1905]] by fifh grade [[Galatasaray Lycee]] students as a [[Football (soccer)|football]] club. Galatasaray's first president was [[Ali Sami Yen]]. Their first match was against Kadikoy Faure School and they won this match 2-0 <ref>http://www.galatasaray.org/English/Corporate/history/detail.asp?pid=2422&haberid=289785 Galatasaray's official site: First match and foundation</ref>. There were discussions about club's name, some suggested Gloria (victory) and others Audace (courage) but it's named as Galatasaray. According to researcher Cem Atabeyoğlu, Galatasaray took its name in their first much. In that match Galatasaray won 2-0 over [[Rûm]] club and spectator call them "Galata Sarayı efendileri" ([[English language|English]]: Gentleman of Palace Galatasaray), after this event adopted that name and started to call their club "Galata Sarayı". In [[1905]] in the [[Ottoman Empire]] era, there weren't any laws for associations so the club couldn't registered offically. After [[1912]] ''Law of Association'', the club registered legally <ref>[http://www.galatasaray.org/English/Corporate/history/detail.asp?pid=2422&haberid=289786 Galatasaray's official site: History of founding]</ref>.
Galatasaray's most successful era came in the 1990s, when the club won the [[UEFA Cup]] and [[European Super Cup|the UEFA Super Cup]]. They were aided in this by one of Turkey's best generation of home grown footballers (who went on to finish third in the [[2002 FIFA World Cup]]) and their intimidating ground, which many [[Western European]] teams disliked travelling to. During this period their matches with club teams from [[England]] caused the most controversy; this culminated in a 2000 UEFA Cup tie against [[Leeds United FC|Leeds United]], in which both legs were marred by violence. In [[Istanbul]], two Leeds fans were stabbed; they later died. [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/703283.stm] Since then, much has been done to improve safety at Galatasary's matches and in games against English clubs; a 2006 [[UEFA Champions League]] tie against [[Liverpool FC|Liverpool]] occurred without any trouble. In 06 November 2002, Galatasaray lost 6-0 to their eternal rival Fenerbahce but the club took its revenge by beating its rival 5-1 in the Turkish Cup Final of 2005. The record between the two sides, still belongs to Galatasaray: in [[1911]], at their own ground, Fenerbahçe was beaten 7-0 by an incomplete Galatasaray squad (there were seven players available instead of eleven, due to a stormy day in Istanbul which made it impossible for some players to cross the [[Bosphorus]] to the Asian side).

===Rivalry With English Clubs===
Galatasaray have a notorius fan base for their less than welcoming atmosphere to visiting supporters. Fans often display banners displaying "Welcome To Hell" in european ties when both the opposition fans and team arrive in the city. The rivalry with English clubs went a step too far before the [[UEFA Cup 1999-00#Semifinals|semi-final UEFA Cup match]] with {{afc|Leeds United}} in 2000. Two {{afc|Leeds United}} fans, Christopher Loftus and Kevin Speight, were brutally stabbed in [[Istanbul]]. The Turkish FA allowed the game to go ahead that night, Galatasaray won 2-0. The return leg in [[Leeds]] had the most charged, emotional yet poisonous atmosphere. Outside the ground saw running battles between police and fans and there were attacks on Turkish TV crews, the game saw Harry Kewell sent off and a 2-2 score was enough for Galatasaray, as they went through to the final. It is down to these events that the rivalry between turkish and english clubs exist. Violence also occured between Galatasaray and {{fc|Arsenal}} fans before the [[UEFA_Cup_1999-00#Final|Final]] in Copenhagen and there has been no love lost between the two nationalities in both domestic team and international team meetings since.

==Stadium==

Galatasaray is planning to build a new stadium in another quarter of Istanbul, Seyrantepe, whose name was changed to Aslantepe ("Lion Hill"), after Galatasaray bought the ground. The idea is to realize a stadium on the model of the ArenA in Amsterdam, and complete it in 16 months. The building of the new stadium will start January 2007. The new stadium will have a capacity of 52,500 making it the biggest stadium in Turkey, owned by a club. It will also feature a moving ground and a hydraulic dome at the top that can close in case of rain or snow . There are also plans for shopping mall and residential units construction in the Aslantepe Project.

Galatasaray Spor Kulübü (Galatasaray Sports Club, or Galatasaray SK) is a Turkish sports club based in İstanbul which is most famous for its football section. Founded in 1905 by Ali Sami Yen and his fellows from the prestigious Galatasaray High School, Galatasaray currently has 16 Turkish league championships, and also won the UEFA Cup and UEFA Super Cup in 2000 to become European Champions. Galatasaray also topped the world club ranking to be named "Best Football Club in the World" in January of 2001. [1]

Galatasaray is one of only two teams to have won the UEFA Cup without being beaten in a single match, and is also notable for being the first team to win the competition after having been knocked out of the Champions League.

Galatasaray is the most known team in Turkey abroad with fan shops all over the world.

The club's ground, Ali Sami Yen Stadyumu, reopened for the 2004-05 season, and a massive renovation project of one of its stands was completed in the 5th week of the 2005-2006 season. Galatasaray clinched their 16th League title after they beat Kayserispor 3-0 as Fenerbahce SK were held to a draw.

History

Galatasaray were founded on Autumn 1905 by fifh grade Galatasaray Lycee students as a football club. Galatasaray's first president was Ali Sami Yen. Their first match was against Kadikoy Faure School and they won this match 2-0 [1]. There were discussions about club's name, some suggested Gloria (victory) and others Audace (courage) but it's named as Galatasaray. According to researcher Cem Atabeyoğlu, Galatasaray took its name in their first much. In that match Galatasaray won 2-0 over Rûm club and spectator call them "Galata Sarayı efendileri" (English: Gentleman of Palace Galatasaray), after this event adopted that name and started to call their club "Galata Sarayı". In 1905 in the Ottoman Empire era, there weren't any laws for associations so the club couldn't registered offically. After 1912 Law of Association, the club registered legally [2].

Rivalry With English Clubs

Galatasaray have a notorius fan base for their less than welcoming atmosphere to visiting supporters. Fans often display banners displaying "Welcome To Hell" in european ties when both the opposition fans and team arrive in the city. The rivalry with English clubs went a step too far before the semi-final UEFA Cup match with

in 2000. Two

fans, Christopher Loftus and Kevin Speight, were brutally stabbed in Istanbul. The Turkish FA allowed the game to go ahead that night, Galatasaray won 2-0. The return leg in Leeds had the most charged, emotional yet poisonous atmosphere. Outside the ground saw running battles between police and fans and there were attacks on Turkish TV crews, the game saw Harry Kewell sent off and a 2-2 score was enough for Galatasaray, as they went through to the final. It is down to these events that the rivalry between turkish and english clubs exist. Violence also occured between Galatasaray and Arsenal fans before the Final in Copenhagen and there has been no love lost between the two nationalities in both domestic team and international team meetings since.
