Göztepe S.K.

The club was founded in 1925 as a breakaway from Altay.{{cite news|title=Tarihçe|trans-title=History|url=https://www.goztepe.org.tr/Kurumsal|publisher=Göztepe S.K.|date=|access-date=12 September 2021|language=Tr|archiveurl=https://archive.today/20210912203645/https://www.goztepe.org.tr/Kurumsal|archivedate=12 September 2021}} Their colours are red and yellow. They merged with İzmirspor and Egespor and were renamed as Doğanspor in 1937. Some supporters of İzmirspor opposed the merger and founded Ateşspor in 1938. Doğanspor was renamed again as Göztepe in 1939. Ateşspor was also renamed as İzmirspor the same year.

The club's greatest success was the win of the former Turkish Football Championship in 1950, where the football team won the Final Group in their own city, İzmir. With that, they became the first and only football club from İzmir to become Turkish football champions.{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablest/turkchamp.html|title=Turkey - List of Champions|website=RSSSF|access-date=14 April 2018|archive-date=7 February 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230207082756/https://www.rsssf.org/tablest/turkchamp.html|url-status=live}} Göz Göz also became runners-up in 1942.

Göztepe enjoyed a successful period between the years of 1963 and 1971 under the supervision of coach Adnan Süvari. Their common starting line-up during that period of success are still remembered today: Ali Artuner, Mehmet Işıkal, Çağlayan Derebaşı, Hüseyin Yazıcı, Mehmet Aydın, Nevzat Güzelırmak, Nihat Yayöz, Ertan Öznur, Fevzi Zemzem, Gürsel Aksel, Halil Kiraz.
