The '''1917–18 season''' was '''Galatasaray SK's''' 13th in existence and the club's [[1917–18 Istanbul Football League|9th consecutive season]] in the [[Istanbul Football League]] (IFL). During [[World War I]], [[Galatasaray S.K. (football team)|Galatasaray SK]]'s players joined the [[Ottoman Army]]. Because of this, Galatasaray SK sometimes could not find any player, sometimes German soldiers merged Galatasaray SK to build a team. Nevertheless, they lost the matches by decision.
