History
The team was founded in 1947 under the name Şekerspor; It kept this name until 1958. In 2005, the club was bought by K&C Group, a construction company and the club transferred Sergen Yalçın.[1]
In 2015 Club President Orhan Kapelman claimed that he has always been an "idealist", a name given to the members of the far-right Grey Wolves organization. The club stated that it will include only nationalist football players and coaches in its staff and changed its name to Turanspor, named after Turanism.[1]
Turanspor withdrew from the Regional Amateur League in the 2015-2016 season.[2]
After the club was removed from the Sugar Factory facilities, of which the club is a tenant, because it could not pay its debts, the club management could not find a place to stay and the club became history.[1]
