Some teams are described as belonging to the Super League, and Bursaspor is exactly that. Bursaspor belongs in the Super League. Bursaspor, which became the 5th largest team in our country by winning the championship in the 2009-2010 season, turned into a team that would be relegated only 9 years after the championship. They were relegated to the 3rd league 14 years after the championship. If the trend hadn't been reversed, we could have witnessed Bursaspor's demise. Bursaspor, one of our most valuable Anatolian teams, narrowly avoided disappearing into the dusty pages of history. So how did Bursaspor rise, hit rock bottom, and how are they running back to their old glory days? 5. THE BIG Before the 2009-2010 season, during the summer transfer window, they made transfers that would directly contribute to the championship, such as Pablo Martin Batalla, Hüseyin Çimşir, and Ivan Ergic. Bursaspor, which entered the championship race in 10 weeks with 5 consecutive victories, was left one-on-one with Fenerbahçe as Galatasaray fell out of the race. Although they took the lead in the first week, Fenerbahçe came from behind and took the lead with 4 weeks left. Entering the last week, Fenerbahçe had 73 points and Bursaspor had 72. Fenerbahçe had a match against Trabzonspor, and Bursaspor had a match against Beşiktaş. Both teams were playing at home. The winner would celebrate the championship in front of their fans. In the last week, in matches that started at the same time on the same day, Fenerbahçe was tied 1-1 with Trabzonspor, while Bursaspor beat Beşiktaş 2-0 at home, with Beşiktaş scoring a goal in the 88th minute. The score is 2-1 in the 88th minute, Fenerbahçe will become champions with a goal from Beşiktaş. In the Bursa-Beşiktaş match, when a replay of Beşiktaş's goal in the 88th minute was shown on screen from a different angle in the 90+ minutes, a Fenerbahçe stadium official thought Beşiktaş had scored another goal and that the score was tied, so he made an announcement. Of course, back then not everyone had smartphones, and access to real-time information was more limited. Fans trusted the announcement, thinking the score was 2-2, and started celebrating the championship. That's how the famous "Goal news from Bursa!" incident happened. Of course, the truth was revealed quickly; Fenerbahçe fans were in tears, saddened by the lost championship, while Bursaspor celebrated their first championship in history. DECLINE In my opinion, Bursaspor's decline began in 2015. In 2015, the team's economic situation was still good. New transfers were made with less transfer fee to replace players who were sold, but it didn't work out. ON THE BRINK OF BANKRUPTCY Despite the failures of recent years, Bursa's expenses were increasing, but it was impossible to cover these increased expenses with a lower league budget. From that moment on, Bursaspor faced an incredible debt burden. After 3 seasons in the 1st league and 2 seasons in the 2nd league, Bursa suddenly found itself in the 3rd league. In 2024, the club's debt exceeded 2 billion TL. This amount was not something a third-league team could afford to pay. Bursaspor was viewed as "bankrupt." The fans were also inwardly pessimistic; if urgent solutions were not found, Bursaspor could go to amateur leagues, or worse, declare bankruptcy. It was precisely at this point that Enes Çelik came to Bursaspor's rescue. REBIRTH Enes Çelik was the son of Faruk Çelik, the former Minister of Food, Agriculture and Livestock and currently a Member of Parliament for Artvin. He became president at the young age of 37. In addition to making moves to ease the team's financial situation, he united the entire city. Bursaspor was paying off its debt and the interest on that debt, while simultaneously trying to build a strong squad. While in the 3rd League, they assembled a squad far superior to the league average. They finished as champions of their group and were promoted to the 2nd League. The debt was also quickly reduced from 2 billion TL to 1 billion TL. The Bursa team, which performed well both sportively and financially, was giving signals of a comeback. Bursaspor started the 2025-26 season much more ambitiously. Despite being in the 2nd League, they built a team that could have challenged for the top spots if they were in the 1st League. They had players with Super League experience such as Musa Çağıran, Soner Aydoğdu, Ertuğrul Ersoy, Rahmetullah Berişbek, Salih Kavrazlı, İlhan Depe, and Halil Akbunar. The team captain was Muhammet Demir, who had once risen to the national team. THE FUTURE Bursaspor fans are looking to the 1st League with hope for the upcoming sea...
