The club of
the mine
The first migrant workers started playing football here after their shifts down the mine. Their grandchildren still play here today.

In late 1967, the miners gathered at Hasan Amca’s café on the Koolmijnlaan. They had one question: what would their sons do after school? The answer is still here today.

The symbol on our crest
Why a deer?
Anadol was the first car built in Turkey itself, a Koç Holding project from the very same years our founders were going underground in the mines here. Its emblem featured a deer.
Our founders adopted both the Anadol name and its deer, with one thought in the back of their minds: perhaps the Koç family might sponsor the club one day. Years later, a letter really was sent to Koç Holding — and the club received twenty tracksuits as a one-off gift.

The first team
Our first footballers
These were the first footballers to wear the FC Anadol shirt in the club’s early years.
The names of the men who first wore the FC Anadol shirt are all still known, standing and seated from left to right.
