Amed S.F.K.

Amed Sportif Faaliyetler Kulübü anchors the sporting life of Diyarbakır while competing in the top tier of Turkish football. Founded in 1990, the club evolved from its original identity as Diyarbakırspor to reflect the ancient historical name of the city, Amed. This shift solidified the team's status as a symbol of regional heritage that resonates deeply with fans who view the squad as more than just a sports franchise.

The organization secured promotion to Süper Lig for the 2026–27 season after navigating various lower divisions. Head coach Taner Taşkın led the squad through a campaign that began with a commanding 3-0 victory against Erzurum BB on August 16, 2026. The arrival of Nigerian striker Gift Orban on loan from TSG Hoffenheim marked a strategic push to challenge established giants within the league. [edit]

May 2, 2026, stands as the turning point for the club when they defeated Manisa FK to clinch their first-ever spot in Turkey's top division. Before this historic moment, the team spent years stabilizing itself across the TFF Third League and TFF First League. The rebranding from Diyarbakırspor to Amedspor was not merely a name change but a deliberate move to honor the ancient history of the region.

Early fixtures in their debut top-flight season revealed a mix of resilience and sharp competition. A 2-0 loss away to Kocaelispor on August 24, 2026 stood out alongside a strong home performance against Erzurum BB. The squad faced immediate challenges but maintained focus under Taner Taşkın's leadership to secure their place in the highest division. [edit]
