Türkgücü München

The club was formed in 1975 by a handful of Turkish migrant workers in Munich, then under the name of SV Türk Gücü München ({{langx|en|Turkish Power Munich)}}. Originally, the football team played in the lowest tiers of Munich amateur football, something that changed from 1983 onwards, when a number of wealthy Turkish businessmen took over the running of the club. The club found the Bezirksportanlage am Krehlebogen as a permanent home ground and was able to establish a youth department.50 Jahre Bayrischer Fussball-Verband, p. 184–185

Türk Gücü, as the club was commonly referred to, earned a number of promotions, culminating in a 3–1 promotion decider victory over VfR Neuburg, played in front of 3,000 spectators, which earned the club entry to the fourth division Landesliga Bayern-Süd.

After its promotion to the Landesliga, Türk Gücü strengthened its team with non-Turkish players and, under coach Peter Grosser, the club won promotion to the Bayernliga in 1988, with future professionals like Gerry Hillringhaus and Thomas Kristl in the team. Türk Gücü was an instant success in Bavaria's highest football league, coming sixth in its first season,Die Bayernliga 1945–97, p. 124 where it attracted as many as 12,000 spectators in the games against TSV 1860 Munich. The club was able to draw on up to 1,000 fans to travel with the team to away games. Hillringhaus, a goalie, scored Germany's goal of the month for September 1989 in a Bayernliga game against MTV Ingolstadt.[http://www.sportschau.de/sp/sportschau/fussball_1/tdm/nvideo.phtml?url=rtsp://ras01.wdr.de/sportschau/tdm/1989_09.rm Goal of the month September 1989] {{in lang|de}} sportschau.de – Video of the goal.

The club under chairman Ergun Berksoy, rivaled in its success in the German Turkish community only by Türkiyemspor Berlin, begun to aim even for professional football, hoping to earn promotion to the 2. Bundesliga. But the club was not able to live up to its ambitions. It finished seventh in the league in the following year, followed by a twelfth place in 1991 and relegation in 1992 after a bitter 4–3 defeat on penalties in the relegation decider against SC 08 Bamberg.Die Bayernliga 1945–97, p. 127

Fundamental changes started to affect the club. Support for the team had steadily declined, one reason being the large number of non-Turkish players in the club which affected the identification of the local Turkish population with the club. The other was the rise of Satellite television. Being able to watch Turkish giants Beşiktaş, Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe live on TV greatly reduced the number of Turkish people interested in seeing a third- or fourth-division side on the field and, consequently, the club's financial means. Nevertheless, the club's significance in Bavarian football was demonstrated in the fact that the Bavarian Football Associations fiftieth anniversary book had its own two-page article on Türk Gücü, something only awarded to Bavarian giants FC Bayern, TSV 1860, 1. FC Nürnberg and rising star SpVgg Unterhaching.50 Jahre Bayerischer Fussball-Verband

After the 1995–96 season Türk Gücü came second-last and fell to the fifth tier of German football.Die Bayernliga 1945–97, p. 133 The club came close to promotion once more in 1998, when it finished second in its league but lost to 1. FC Nürnberg Amateure in the first round of the promotion matches.Die Deutsche Liga-Chronik seit 1945, p. I 122

The glory days of Türk Gücü were definitely over now and, in 2001, having become insolvent, the club was dissolved.''Deutschlands Fussball in Zahlen – Die Saison 2000/2001, p. 242

Players from Türk Gücü formed a new club called Türkischer SV 1975 München. The new team was not competitive in the Landesliga in 2001–02, finishing second to last, with only SV Lohhof behind it, another club who had only recently played at a much higher level.[http://www.manfredsfussballarchiv.de/Landesligasued/llsuedanfang.htm Landesliga Bayern-Süd tables and results] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120209165026/http://www.manfredsfussballarchiv.de/Landesligasued/llsuedanfang.htm |date=9 February 2012 }} {{in lang|de}} Manfreds Fussball Archiv.

Türkischer SV spent its last season before the merger, 2008–09, in the tier-nine Kreisliga München 3, where it achieved its only single-digit league finish in its eighth season of existence.[http://www.bfv.de/ligaPublicArchivErgebnisse.do?reqCode=showDetails&liga_id=15915&reset=1&saison=2008 Kreisliga 3 Schmid 2008–09] BFV website.

ATA Spor München was formed in 1981.

Unlike Türk Gücü, ATA Spor had never climbed the heights of Bavarian amateur football and promotion from the tier-eight Kreisliga followed by two seasons in the Bezirksliga just before the merger were the club's most successful era.

On 19 May 2009, ATA Spor and Türkischer SV merged to form SV Türkgücü-Ataspor in an effort to combine the strength of the two clubs and form a strong side in the eastern suburbs of Munich. The new club had a membership of approximately 500 people.[http://www.tsv1975muenchen.de/tr/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=130&Itemid=&lang=de News announcement on the merger] {{in lang|de}} SV Türkgücü-Ataspor website.

In 2013, the club finished second and, via the promotion round, earned promotion to the Landesliga Bayern-Südost.

In 2019, the club finished first in the Bayernliga Süd and earned promotion to the fourth-tier Regionalliga Bayern.

After promotion, the club decided to shorten its name to Türkgücü München.{{cite web |author=Alexander Nikel |url=https://www.merkur.de/sport/amateur-fussball/landkreis-muenchen-stadt/sv-tuerkguecue-ataspor-muenchen-aendert-namen-in-tuerkguecue-muenchen-e-v-12693088.html |title=Alles neu!

For the 2020–21 season, the team has played their home matches at the Olympiastadion and at Grünwalder Stadion, sharing the latter stadium with their fellow 3. Liga side 1860 Munich. Türkgücü Munich filed for insolvency on 31 January 2022.
