- Turkey's Big Three of Besiktas, Fenerbahce, and Galatasaray have long reigned supreme in the Turkish Super Lig, winning 55 of a possible 62 league titles.
All three clubs hail football mad city of Istanbul, but now there is a third team from Turkey's largest city that are making a splash.
Istanbul Basaksehir have been immensely competitive since being taken into state ownership in 2014, and this season the club won their first Super Lig title.
In this short documentary, HITC Sevens takes a look at Istanbul Basaksehir, a club with a number of former Premier League stars in their ranks, virtually no fans, and close ties to Turkey's higher-ups that has raised suspicion among many rival clubs. - Sport

Saw this team play at home with a few friends while backpacking in Turkey in 2017. The stadium was mostly empty except for the rowdy Besiktas fans who filled the entire away section, and who made the most noise as you can imagine.
The only home supporters seemed to be a few casual fans who appeared to be from the nearby housing complexes. The only time I heard noise from Basaksehir section was when a few of the Besiktas supporters took off their kits to pose as the home fans just to get nice and close to the keeper to abuse him 😂😂
INONU HELL 🦅🦅🦅❤⚫⚪
They're not fans, they're legends
@@Neuer2777 you know what, thats literally true
Did you have a good time backpacking in Turkey ? I always want go there.
Besiktas is the best fans in turkey 🦅🦅🦅
As a Turk I just want to say thank you for making this video. So many points brought up on the topic so well researched and even delved into the politics in such a way for just a football video. Some points were missed out but they don't have to be said but just gotta put them here
1.The match played by the people shown on 7:26 was actually huge because show this photo to any Turkish citizen and they would be able to name at least 10 of the players. I'm not just gonna list everyone one by one but the man crouching at the front 3rd from the right is Acun Ilıcalı, basically the most well known entertainer of Turkey. To make it a bit clearer he owns a TV station called TV8 and brought all the well known competition shows (The Voice, Survivor, Masterchef etc.) to Turkey. Thanks to this he owns possibly the most watched channel in Turkish television. You might say "What's wrong with him bringing all that stuff and earning money off it?" and I would say absolutely nothing except if the channels news didn't post fake news in order to promote Erdogan. This is just one of the people on the team and the rest are almost just as influential in Turkey.
2. Erdogan playing for Kasımpaşa was mentioned but him trying to back the team financially just as the same way as Başakşehir wasn't mentioned. As he was born and raised in that district he had a bond with the team and the area so presumably payed for the construction of a new stadium for them a few years ago, which is now named after him. Kasımpaşa was a dangerous team and still is doing decent in the league but a few years back they were formidable opponents. Even though they didn't manage to finish on the top levels of the league the amount of referee decisions in their favor was just disgusting. After Erdogan realised that Kasımpaşa's potential wasn't good enough he turned to Başakşehir because the plan is to sell the club for an immense amount of money to Qatarian investors.
3. 2800ish average attendance for them is also somewhat a lie because some people who watch the matches aren't even fans. Of course you can just go to a stadium pay for a ticket and watch a football match as just a fan of the sport but most of the people attending were there for a completely different reason: money. That's right some people who attended matches gave interviews and said that they were PAID to watch the game in the stadium. Many people have also come clean about being offered money to watch the games so that the club seems like they at least have somewhat of a fanbase but in reality this team truly doesn't have ANY loyal fans whatsoever.
P.S. This is probably going to be the weirdest compliment I've ever given but this video will probably be banned in Turkey in a very short period of time. So well researched and so nicely summed up thank you for this video HITC.
Thanks for the additional info and kind words, Ege, glad you enjoyed it!

Still got knocked out of the Europa League by Burnley 2 years ago XD
That's cos they didn't put any effort into that competition. They were criticized for this that's how I know.
don't be a sheep in a mask that’s true
Come on Burnley! Come on Burnley! Come on Burnley!
Did forget that burnley is playing in a European tournament sorry. Didnt know That they are playing Next week and are Safe to say in the Likes of basaksehir😙
Look at them now. Finished first in the group with Roma & Mönchengladbach. Rekt sporting lisabon in the last 32. Going to play in the UCL And they have a chance to win the UEL because of the 1 legg rounds this year. I only can see them grow. 👍🏼
Here's a funny thing; when Başakşehir bought Clichy, prices for bus passes have gone up lol
That’s crazy
Lewis F Here is turkey for ya THE govement are dictated by frauds
biggest lie I've ever heard. now the city is under opposition control, why are bus prices still climbing? fucking liar
this is the biggest lie ive heard in my life. Dont mislead people
woulda been nice bro in our mayoral systme there is city councils the mayor is from opposition party but akp (ruling party) hast the majority of the council so if akp wants something its accepted if not its declined there is nothing the mayor can do so still istanbuls money and people’s money go to that club who has 800 fans
Please make a video talking about Bilbao's basque policy.
Edit: yeah, think the topic has been covered quite a bit, like both babyluigi95's recommendation on covering Guadalajara "Mexican-only" policy and Alejo Ferran's idea on covering how Real Sociedad also had an all-Basque era in the past. If Alfie sees this, please take note of their suggestion, think would make for a more interesting video.
Watch the one made by Tifo
Tifos is a good one
Tifo made it. Perhaps about Guadalajara "only Mexican" policy. Also make fun of how Americans were treated by Chivas USA.
babyluigi95 What happened to that former MLS club?
@@Ese96Agoaye the MLS bought it and then sold it to the current owners of LAFC, but it's not considered the same club
As a Galatasaray supporter i must say this season all 4 big teams in turkey (Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe ,Beşiktaş ,Trabzonspor ) have lost so many points just because of referees and people who Shouldn’t be involved in sports like the president ,team supporters from the big teams are now saying this season was a disgrace for turkish football.Because the tff(turkish football federation) wanted Başakşehir to be champions and now they are going to sell the team (Başakşehir)to rich buisnessman from qatar.
Bu nasıl bir kafa sen futbol izleme bence, başakşehir yıllarca çok iyi top oynadı hep ucundan şampiyonluğu kaçırdı. Abdullah avcı bugün Trabzonu uçuruyor adamların şampiyonluklarına laf etme.

Just over 2000 fans. Man even National League teams have more than that.
Funny thing is, it’s not even 2000 it’s proven that most of them paid to be there
Just like CFR Cluj. A fake team with no supporters financed by crooked politicians
@@habibhan2786Even SV Sandhausen and SpVgg Unterhaching here have more fans than them, lol.
I didn't know how much I wanted to know this until I watched it
Now it makes sense why a number of the premier league's pensioners ended up at that club - I remember stumbling across the team and seeing the famous names just reel off one after the other
Turkey has Basaksehir.
Bulgaria has Ludogorec.
David Lim and Italy has juventus
@DOOT olympiakos is in top for 90 years now and has the most fans across greece wtf
If they would have a big fanbase i wouldnt care but they have a few fans like 100-200
@DOOT i mean how can a team who has 40% of the fans be the most hated?
Boyko is a mini Erdogan anyway... but he is a loyal clown to the baureocrats in Brussels so nobody calls him a dictator or autocrat.
Okay it took me until 4:54 to start hating this team passionately.
So you actually "hate" a football team you have no relation to? Only based on 16 min video, made by a stranger? Damn... You're a hardcore hater huh. How would you describe your feelings toward Vladimir Putin? What about that King Geoffrey character from Game of thrones? Or one of those school shooters?
oliver wenzel I don’t have the energy to answer everything you said there, I was using a figure of of speech, and I’m sorry I annoyed you.
@@denzelwenzel A football team which represents a a very big problem that contemporary football is facing, politics getting involved, being bankrolled by non footballing related money, be it oil money, despotic governments or so on. So yeah, Basaksehir, Leipzig, PSG, Man City etc etc. anyone who loves football should hate these clubs
oliver wenzel stfu ur talking about putin and not football no one cates
Valer Kand add Real Madrid and Roma to that list. They were both put together and funded by fascist dictators.
Well, it was inevitable, and now that you've dipped your toes into the legitimately neverending rabbithole that is Turkish football I am fully expecting a video on every wild twist and turn in the league's history, including but not limited to that major matchfixing scandal that took place 10 years ago that involved a clandestine underground organization that aims to overthrow the republic, proof for whose existence is rather dubious
Interesting take but well thought out

Update February 2021: as things stand Basaksehir are currently in the relegation zone.
Back in the top right now, playing good football, not a fan of this club, I am a passionate Fenerbahce fan, but at the moment Basak plays better football than the traditional big three clubs, including Trabzonspor. Have to be honest about this.
such a great video. even as a Turk living in Istanbul I'm not sure if I could have been able to explain the situation as well as you did. thank you so much for shedding light on a topic that seems to be ignored outside of turkey
As a turkish fan of you channel I’m always mesmerized by your knowledge about our league and country. Keep up the good work!!
Keep up these kind of videos Alfie. You research the topic very well and i always learn something
Brother, thank you very much for this video. I'm from Turkey, I am a huge Football fan who is very invested in Football with time and emotions. I'm a one of those people who hates Başakşehir (yes, people since not just Football fans hate Basaksehir and their sponsors). This is a great video I loved every second of it that being said I would like to add some small details, although the stage was set for Basaksehir to bring in a cup in terms of monetary support (both financial and financial regulations), they did it this year without any obvious support or interventions from the officials and they did play great Football with Okan Buruk as head coach throughout the season (who is an up-and-coming coach with a cup under his name despite never coaching big 3, now he has 2 cups). Fenerbahce and Galatasaray (7th and 6th, respectively) shot themselves on foot with very bad transfers and worse transfer and budgeting planning, (also Fenerbahce wasn't allowed to make a transfers mid-season because of another political non-sense which they should have seen and did better moves pre-season, they had only 3 CBs and 1 LB who got injured pre-season) (also Galatasaray spend to much time and money on signing Falcao), Besiktas had been planing for the future with a new coach (who was Basaksehir's old coach) but they didn't give him enough time, sacked him (the replacement did far better by the way) and also they were bankrupt, they can barely pay salaries of squad. So in their place Trabzonspor was the obvious contender who also were being supported by the government and the support they had received were very obvious on the pitch with ghost penalties with VAR, creating fouls before positions ended with goals, but they too shot themselves on the foot with firing their 3 years coach (rumor has it he was fired because he talked back to a minister) and appointing a very inexperienced coach who was one of the assistant coach of the predecessor. If you can please make a video about Trabzonspor or/and TFF. Thank you again!!!
I believe you are a Fenerbahçe fan.So you have no right to talk about “government support”.Aren’t you guys got banned from europe for chichanery?Your fan base literally threatens the government for the next election.Even RTE is a Fenerbahçe fan.Cry babies 🐥
It was going fine until the part about Trabzonspor. Then the bullshit began. Those claims are just your fantasies.
You’re making fantastic video Alfie. Keep up the great work!
Cheers, I'll do my best!
Great video guys! As a turkish football fan, I want to give you guys some insight about this season. Funny thing about this season is Erdogan’s son-in-law(minister of economy) openly supports the runner-up Trabzonspor(TS). In the first half of the season, TS was tearing the league apart, hell people were thinking that Haaland wasnt the best norwegian striker right now, but Alexander Sorloth is. But I believe they lost a match bad nearing the end of first half, the minister of economy called the coach and said something like “Why is the team not playing?” And the coach replied with something like “Why is turkish economy so bad right now?” Well lo and behold, TS’ best coach in almost 10 years got sacked overnight, and they gave away the silverware. Hell they were 4 points ahead going into the last two matches. Politics should play no role in sports, especially in Turkey.
As for the reason of hate against IBB, I am a Besiktas fan, I waited 2 years for our stadium. The travel time to the replacement was 3 hours(still in Istanbul btw) and the construction has been stopped 2 times by the government for no reason at all. We sold our star striker Cenk Tosun for 28mil, and two years later we are almost bankrupt. IBB on the other hand, their only big sell was Cengiz Ünder to Roma for 15mil, and yet they dont face any financial problems, even though they have 4k avg attendance on 20Tl ( 2.5-3 €) tickets (Besiktas had 30k on 15€ tickets), and their wage budget is on par with the 3 big clubs in Istanbul. Something does not add up there.
I hope this comments clears the situation a little more. Keep up the good work on the channel guys!
Başakşehir oyuncu bonservisi ödemiyor. Beşiktaş geçen sene 15 milyon euro transfer harcaması yapmış başakşehir 6 milyon. Diğer takımlardan daha az para harcayıp daha iyi oyuncular alıyorlar. Visca 400 bin euroya irfan can 1.5 milyon euroya alınmış. beşiktaşın bu şekilde ucuza aldığı ve değerini ona yirmiye katlayan kim var. Tamamen devlet desteğiyle orada değiller aynı zamanda iyi yönetiliyorlar. Devlet 3 büyüklerin de vergi borçlarını birkaç defa ödedi.
The conservation you talked about between Unal Karaman and Berat A. never been verified. You are talking bullshit. In 2011 Beşiktaş Vice President Serdar Adalı offered a horse İbrahim Akın aka. Başakşehir Player - their name İstanbul Büyükşehir belediyesi in that time- for Turkish Cup Final :). Then they punished by Uefa with Fenerbahçe another team called match fixer. After that President Erdoğan saved them and he talked Platini so many times. Ali Koç Fenerbahçe President subvent Uefa with Yapı Kredi Bank for 30 million Euro. the problem is yapı kredi Bank only works in Turkey :)
Finally; my Turkish citizen you are talking liar thinner addict.

Another class video Alfie 👏. Love these type of videos
Here's another video idea that might not get many views but here goes: Make a series of documentaries talking about specific great teams and their tactics (e.g. Austria's Wunderteam, La Maquina, Grande Torino, Hungary's Magical Magyars, Grande Inter, the Netherlands team in 1974, Cruyff's Barcelona dream team, Wenger's Invincible's team, Fergie's treble winning team, Liverpool's 70s to 80s team, Arrigo Sacchi's AC Milan, Guardiola's Barcelona etc.)

And another fact that this channel forgot to mention, after başakşehir selled Cengiz Ünder 14 m € to Rome they bought +20 players including adebayor, clichy. And they said that they did all of that with the money that came from Cengiz.

I didn't know Basaksehir was that despised
They were until this season. They were heavily funded by the mayor of İstanbul which was selected by the current ruling party. Last year they lost the election to the opposition party and their selection cut all of the fundings to the başakşehir. They may have gotten a strong support from the start but they always had a great diplomacy to run the club too. This season many people expected them to finish maybe 5th or 6th but definitely not 1st. They had a great campaign and at the end of the season everyone but trabzonspor fans supported them.

You are wrong. As someone who lives in Turkey I'll have to say that compared to other countries, the virus reached Turkey way later. And back in the day when the first leg of that match was about to be played, there was no covid yet in Turkey. After covid reached Turkey the league has been paused and after a while they continued the league without having fans in the stadiums. In regards of information you are on the wrong side. And besides, Basaksehirs fan support is pretty pretty low compared to other clubs in Turkey. Therefore it's not that significant if there are fans or not.
You have a good chance. Başakşehir is a very old team, and the compressed schedule will have take its toll.
Also, if BS go through, they'll play Utd. What does Olympiakos have to do with them.

Anyone know why Erdoğan didn't just put the same investment and influence into Kasımpaşa? He played there, their stadium is named after him, they are based in İstanbul as well... Why would he bother taking a team with no history or fans into a position of titlewinners when Kasımpaşa has both fans and history?
@fidel ramirez same
He tried at the begging but Kasımpaşa failed to deliver. Like everybody who has power and money and got bored with his girlfriend he found the new one. In addition he found the club and Basaksehir is his club, even the colors are matching with his political party. Any one can assume AKParti (which he found) win the championship.
@@donpantolonez What failed to work about the project at Kasimpasa?
@Haakon Lehn first of all Erdoğan still influencing Kasımpaşa. It’s the neighborhood where he grew. Kasımpaşa A.Ş. (A.Ş=Associated Company) is a company also their shares are traded in stock market, so their books are open financially. On the other hand Başakşehir S.K. (S.K.=Sports Club) is a regular club and they don’t need to open their financials so it’s easy to gave money to Başakşehir. For instance everything Medipol paid for Başakşehir they can get it back as a tax refund because they are as a company sponsoring a club. For Kasımpaşa which is a company the money you gave them you gave them its an agreement between companies no issue of a tax refund.
Kaşımpaşa couldn’t deliver championship with less backing than the Başakşehir. But Kasımpaşa is still Erdoğan’s neighborhood and under his wings.
Good question.
They may have wanted to go ahead with the easy one as the Kasimpasa club was already managed.
Başaksehir also County of Istanbul and most of the things in this county made by Erdoğan. And most of the people Erdoğan supporter in this county. There was a team before 2014 called Istanbul buyuksehir belediye spor which means Municipality of Istanbul football club. The name is being changed because no one will support the municipal team. But no one has an emotional connection to a newly formed county. Even Başaksehir citizens supports big threes.
So what we have to know is, galatasaray, Beşiktaş and fenerbahçe founded at Ottoman Empire so before Turkish Republic. And they re still sport teams. When people born early 1900's they just heard this big threes and the emotional connection was formed till our generation. Istanbul Başaksehir is against this connection because it's supported by government.

I remember when when Turkish team were predominantly Turkish players Clubs were very passionate now it is a bit dull
Lad you need to get into documentaries. You’ve definitely got the knowledge, research skills and voice for it
Should double check his information though, he sometimes adds incorrect information.
In 2003 erdogan became prime minister not in 1998.
The video creator has no idea what he is talking about
@@user-ie6jr4bg1w wtf?
@@user-ie6jr4bg1w wait... 😂😂😂😂
Erdogan doesn’t take Turkey seriously!
@#N17COYS angelo i heard most people in istanbul want erdogan back there they dont like imamoglu but idk if its true
Doesnt matter how government support başakşehir, they play very well for a 4-5 years. I am big fan of Beşiktaş but i got a sympathie to them. They deserved to be a champion.
i see basaksehir as a young talent camp of turkey. the big 4 in süper lig werent really good at promoting the talents and make them a really good football player.
now with basaksehir the turkish national team has a good chance to rise as a decent to good team which can play a important role.

Man, politics and football are very linked, it's merely impossible to separte them. From racism, to big political leaders using football clubs to support their agenda, to the rivalries between teams based on their political ideologies such as lazio and Torino, etc.
It ruins the beauty of the game
In 1978 the Argentinian dictatorship used the WC as nationalist propaganda
As a someone who watch turkish league and cup games a lot i need to say that turkish league became what italian seria a was in 2005,bunch of games that goes 0-1 at half time.and end 3-1 (fixed games) and some really bad refeere decision ,
That's basically every league, some are just better at hiding it
With the little difference that Italian football was able to produce a World Cup win in 2006...
Such a great video. Didn't know any of this info and can say that it has definitely made me dislike Istanbul Basaksehir. Imagine paying taxes to support your rivals. Keep up the good work
If you asked the cas for this, well, just ask them. I think their verdict will be an interesting one.
16:21 "Dictator" is the right word my friend
Roda Koker you can’t be a dictator if you win elections
Wealdstone shagger you can
@@u.a5351 Yes, if he "rig" the elections, he can
Georgey Thompson how can you be a dictator when you win elections, how can you be a dictator when opposition parties Unite with you to stop military dictatorship. The whole reason erdorgan got elected in 2003 was to stop the secular facism that was going on since the creation of turkey and especially in the 90s and he was the answer as he was seen as a moderate. I’m not saying he’s the perfect leader he maybe far from it. But I feel that in turkey he is still the most popular leader in the end. Yes there are times when his popularity decreases but that’s the nature of politics. Elections results speak for themselves and opinion polls speak for themselves. Unless you have proof that he has rigged the elections I can’t really say he is a dictator
@@u.a5351 you ever seen the movie, "the Dictator" starring Sasha Baren Kohen (The Borat guy)? The ending shows ya how to be honest.
Update: After AKP has lost Istanbul mayoral elections, in 2020-21 season Başakşehir finished the league in 12th place, just 8 points away from relegation. :)
I am Turkish and my favorite team is Fenerbahçe but In Europe Leagues I like every Turkish Clubs
Are all Turkish people ok with only 3 teams (now 4) winning Turkish league titles every year? Doesn't seem like there's much competition in the Turkish SuperLig, right?
@@Montfortracing First, in Turkish league history 6 team won SL(Super Lig) But Bursaspor has relegated SL in 2018-2019 season. In Last season Dg Sivasspor has 4. Team in SL. So sometimes Anadolu teams have getting succes
@@Montfortracing Better to be with 3-4 teams than with a team with 500 supporters.
Love these type of videos. Major props to you. Greetings from Queens, NYC
Ayeee Queens love 🌎🌐
My favorite part was the trophy parade on the bus and the players acted as if there where people there to see them when in reality it was just the bakery owner going outside to see what the hell all the noise is about
🤣🤣🤣
And Erdoğan was Özil's marriage witness. I guess that tells you something about Özil... If you support/ are close with such a person, how are you supposed to stand for German values? He got what he deserved (except the supposedly racism of course).
Such a person? Why? Because he won’t bow down to the European elites? Germany should be forever grateful for Ozil for what he did for them in the 2014 years World Cup
@@shesho6666 Özil was nowhere near being the most important of our players. It is obvious now that he just played for Germany for personal gains, since you can't win anything with Turkey. Özil was really great from ~ 2010-2013 and that's it. He wasn't even German citizen until he turned 18, although he was born in Germany. In my opinion that shows how his family is standing to Germany in general. They didn't even speak German at home in Germany! I guess you watched the video. Such a person who interferes in matters no president should have business with.
