Batman Petrolspor is a professional Turkish football club located in the city of Batman. Formed in 1960, the club colours are red, white, and black and they play their home matches at Batman Stadium.

History

Batman Petrolspor was founded in 1960 with several branches including athletics, basketball, football, swimming, volleyball, and wrestling. The club played amateur football in the Diyarbakır regional leagues until 1986 when they won promotion to the 3.Lig. The club won promotion to the 2.Lig soon after and competed in the division for several years.[http://www.batmanpetrolsk.org/bb/index.php?q=node/3 Tarihçe] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110725042918/http://www.batmanpetrolsk.org/bb/index.php?q=node%2F3 |date=July 25, 2011 }} batmanpetrolsk.org {{in lang|tr}}, accessed 25 June 2010

They have never won promotion to the Süper Lig, falling in the 2.Lig promotion semi-finals to Göztepe. The club were relegated to the 3.Lig at the conclusion of the 2005–06 season, and have competed in the division since then.
