Besiktas JK Jegy

Bővebben Besiktas JK

It wasn’t all glory times for Turkish side Besiktas. As a matter of fact, when the decade of 2010 started, the club found itself with a very old stadium - BJK İnönü Stadium – deep in a debt estimated to be 250 million GBP and facing hundreds of lawsuits. And if that wasn’t enough, Besiktas was facing a ban from UEFA competitions due to a match-fixing scandal.

Well, UEFA did hand Besiktas a one-year suspension from Europa League participation in 2013-14 (together with a two-year ban for city rivals Fenerbahce), and in 2017 football’s European governing body handed the Turkish side (together with Lyon) a two-year suspended ban from Europe for their part in a Europa League clash, in which fans clashed in the stands. In between, Besiktas got back to its Turkish Super Lig supremacy, winning titles, moving into a new, state of the art stadium, and back to financial stability. Time for the club to think about the next stage – increasing its worldwide fan base to over 100 million fans.

Besiktas J.K. (Jimnastik Kulübü – Gymnastics Club) was founded as an all-sport club under the name of Bereket Gymnastic Club in 1903 in the district of Besiktas, Istanbul, located in the European side of the city, on the banks of the Bosporus. A few years later, the club changed its name to Beşiktaş Ottoman Gymnastics Club. Meanwhile, two local football clubs were established in Besiktas and in 1911 they have merged under the mother club. Their uniform colors were black and white. By the way, the words “Besik” and “Tas” means “cradle stone”, as Besiktas is the residential and commercial center of Istanbul.

It took Besiktas about 40 years to win its first Turkish league championship, in the 1956-57 season. Since then, it added 14 more titles, 9 Turkish Cups, 8 Turkish Super Cups, and an Ataturk Cup.

In 2016, Besiktas moved from BJK İnönü Stadium to the new, 41,093 seat Vodafone Park. And boy, do the fans love it. Turkish fans, forever enthusiasts and turning the home field into a very intimidating pitch for visiting teams, have taken the level of cheering to another dimension. A recent Champions League match against RB Leipzig had German striker Timo Werner leave the pitch with his hands across his ears as the fans got loud. Werner then requested to be substituted.

Besiktas striker Ryan Babel admitted after the match there is no way to avoid the level of intimidation opposing teams must feel when facing Besiktas, giving the home team an obvious advantage. Just a reminder – the Dutch played with seven teams before coming to Turkey, among them Liverpool, said to have one of the most supporting stadiums in European football, a place where Besiktas lost 0-8 in a Champions League match in 2007. Babel, by the way, scored two goals in that match.

And when the fans get so excited, it spills over to the pitch. A derby in 2017 against Fenerbahce ended in no less than five red cards for both teams. Fenerbahce, of course, together with Istanbul’s other big threw team – Galatasaray – is Besiktas’ fiercest Turkish rivals.

Over the years Besiktas had some world class players playing in black and white. One of them was Guti Hernandez, who arrived in Istanbul after an illustrates career with Real Madrid. He lasted one year, in which he scored 7 goals in 23 league matches.

John Carew arrived in Istanbul in 2004 from Roma and became the one of the most beloved foreign players of Beşiktaş Squad in 2004-2005 Season. He scored 13 times in 24 games but still faced heavy criticism by the media. He, too, lasted only one season.

Pascal Nouma became a public figure in Istanbul. Signed in 2000, he scored 18 times in 24 matches and his behavior made him one of the most beloved foreign football players in Turkish Football. After one season he transferred to Marseille and came back for the next season. On April 2003 he scored a goal against Fenerbahçe, put his hands down his short, a gesture known as “Tombala Çekmek” - drawing a number from pouch in a Turkish play game – as a goal celebration. Beşiktaş was forced to cancel Nouma’s contract but he remained a fan favorite ever since. In a later time, Nouma, a French, claimed in an interview be a Turk and stated that Turkey was his homeland.
