'''Galatasaray Spor Kulübü''' ({{IPA|tr|galataˈsaɾaj spoɾ kuˈlyby}}, ''Galatasaray Sports Club''), more commonly referred to as simply '''Galatasaray''', is a Turkish professional football club based on the [[Rumelia|European side]] of the city of [[Istanbul]].

Galatasaray is the most successful Turkish club in European competitions. Internationally, Galatasaray has won the [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]] and [[UEFA Super Cup]] in [[2000 UEFA Super Cup|2000]], becoming the first and only Turkish team to win a major [[UEFA competitions|UEFA competition]]. In the [[1999–2000 Galatasaray S.K. season|1999–2000]] season, the club achieved the rare feat of completing a treble by winning the Süper Lig, the Turkish Cup, and the UEFA Cup in a single season. Despite having reached several times the quarter-finals and also once the semi-finals of the [[UEFA Champions League]] campaign, the club has not won the trophy so far. Galatasaray is also the only Turkish club to have been ranked first on the [[IFFHS|IFFHS World Rankings]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://arsiv.ntvmsnbc.com/news/54333.asp|title=Galatasaray, Ağustos ayının en iyisi|website=arsiv.ntvmsnbc.com|access-date=30 September 2013|archive-date=2 October 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131002174733/http://arsiv.ntvmsnbc.com/news/54333.asp|url-status=live}}</ref> According to the same international organization, Galatasaray is the best Turkish club of the 20th century, and the 20th most successful club in Europe.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://kouvadiarides.wordpress.com/2009/09/10/|title=10 Σεπτεμβρίου, 2009|access-date=11 July 2021|archive-date=11 July 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210711100144/https://kouvadiarides.wordpress.com/2009/09/10/|url-status=live}}</ref> Galatasaray is the 11th<ref>{{Cite web |last=UEFA.com |title=All-time Clubs - Most appearances Stats {{!}} UEFA Champions League |url=https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/history/rankings/teams/appearances/ |access-date=2024-10-16 |website=UEFA.com |language=en}}</ref> most participated team in the Champions League, the 18th<ref>{{Cite web |last=UEFA.com |title=All-time Clubs - Matches played Stats {{!}} UEFA Champions League |url=https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/history/rankings/teams/matches_played/ |access-date=2024-10-16 |website=UEFA.com |language=en}}</ref> team to play the most matches and the 24th team to collect the most points. 

Since 2011, the club's stadium has been the 53,798-capacity [[Rams Park]] in Seyrantepe, Istanbul. Previously, the club played at the [[Ali Sami Yen Stadium]], as well as a succession of other grounds in Istanbul, which included groundshares with [[Beşiktaş J.K.|Beşiktaş]] and [[Fenerbahçe S.K. (football)|Fenerbahçe]] at the [[Taksim Stadium]] and [[BJK İnönü Stadium|İnönü Stadium]].

The club has a long-standing rivalry with other Istanbul teams, namely with [[Beşiktaş J.K.|Beşiktaş]] and [[Fenerbahçe S.K.|Fenerbahçe]]. The derby between Galatasaray and [[Fenerbahçe S.K.|Fenerbahçe]] is dubbed the ''[[Kıtalar Arası Derbi]]'' ({{langx|en|link=no|Intercontinental Derby}}) due to the location of their headquarters and stadiums on the European (Galatasaray) and Asian (Fenerbahçe) sides of the [[Bosphorus]] [[strait]] in Istanbul.

[[File:Founder Ali Sami Yen.jpg|thumb|[[Ali Sami Yen]], founder of the club]]
[[File:GS Kuruculari.jpg|thumb|The first recorded photo of Galatasaray (1905)]]

Galatasaray SK was founded in October 1905 (the exact day is disputed, but is traditionally accepted as "17 Teşrinievvel 1321" according to the [[Rumi calendar]], which corresponds to "30 October 1905" according to the [[Gregorian calendar]]) by [[Ali Sami Yen]] and other students of [[Galatasaray High School]] (a high school in [[Istanbul]] which was established in 1481) as a [[Association football|football]] club. Ali Sami Yen became Galatasaray SK's first president and was given the club's membership number "1". The team's first match was against [[Cadi-Keuy FC]] and Galatasaray won this match with a score of 2–0.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.galatasaray.org/English/Corporate/history/detail.asp?pid=2422&haberid=289785 |title=First match and foundation |publisher=Galatasaray.org |date=17 November 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080410115620/http://www.galatasaray.org/English/Corporate/history/detail.asp?pid=2422&haberid=289785 |archive-date=10 April 2008 }}</ref> There were discussions about the club's name, in which some suggested ''Gloria'' (victory) and others ''Audace'' (courage), but it was decided that its name would be Galatasaray.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cimbom.org/general/founded.html |title=How Galatasaray Founded |publisher=Galatasaray.org |date=23 November 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080509054111/http://www.cimbom.org/general/founded.html |archive-date=9 May 2008 }}</ref>

In addition to [[Ali Sami Yen]] (Club member No. 1), who was the driving force behind the club's foundation, Asim Tevfik Sonumut (2), [[Emin Bülent Serdaroğlu]] (3), [[Celal İbrahim]] (4), [[Boris Nikolov (footballer)|Boris Nikolov]] (5), [[Milija and Pavle Bakić|Milo Bakić]] (6), [[Milija and Pavle Bakić|Pavle Bakić]] (7), [[Bekir Sıtkı Bircan]] (8), Tahsin Nihat (9), Reşat Şirvanizade (10), Hüseyin Hüsnü (11), Refik Cevdet Kalpakçıoğlu (12) and [[Abidin Daver]] (13)<ref>{{cite news| url = http://gayin-sin.net/2009/01/02/ilk-nefes-ii/| title = Founding members| publisher = Gayin-Sin.net| date = 2009-10-02| access-date = 2011-03-08| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110723133225/http://gayin-sin.net/2009/01/02/ilk-nefes-ii/| archive-date = 2011-07-23| url-status = dead}}</ref> were also involved in the decision to organize such a club.

The name Galatasaray itself comes from that of Galatasaray High School, which in turn takes its name from Galata Sarayı Enderûn-u Hümâyûn (Galata Palace Imperial School), the name of the original school founded on the site in 1481, and which in turn took its name from the nearby medieval [[Republic of Genoa|Genoese]] [[citadel]] of [[Galata]] (the modern quarter of [[Karaköy]]) in the [[Beyoğlu]] (Pera) district of Istanbul. Galatasaray literally means "Galata palace".

According to researcher Cem Atabeyoğlu, Galatasaray took its name from one of its first matches. In that match, Galatasaray won 2–0 over a local [[Greece|Greek]] club, and the spectators called them "''Galata Sarayı efendileri''" (English: "Gentlemen of Galata Palace"), and, after this incident, they adopted that name and started to call their club "Galata Sarayı". In 1905, during the era of the [[Ottoman Empire]], there were no laws for associations so the club could not be registered officially, but, after the 1912 Law of Association, the club registered legally.<ref name="hist1">{{cite news|url=http://www.galatasaray.org/English/Corporate/history/detail.asp?pid=2422&haberid=289786 |title=History of founding from official site |publisher=Galatasaray.org |date=22 November 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080410115625/http://www.galatasaray.org/English/Corporate/history/detail.asp?pid=2422&haberid=289786 |archive-date=10 April 2008 }}</ref>

Since there weren't any other Turkish teams, Galatasaray joined the Istanbul League that was consisting of English and Greek teams in the season of 1905–1906. With their first championship title they won in 1908–1909, they heralded the beginning of Turkish football history.<ref>{{cite news| url = http://www.tff.org/default.aspx?pageID=497| title = History of Turkish football| publisher = Tff.org| date = 21 November 2007| access-date = 14 July 2009| archive-date = 13 September 2012| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120913011438/http://www.tff.org/default.aspx?pageID=497| url-status = live}}</ref>

While football in Turkey began to fully develop, Galatasaray won ten more ''Istanbul League'' titles{{citation needed|reason=No source for the claim|date=February 2015}} until 1952. Upon the initiation of professional football in 1952, the first professional but non-national league of Turkey, ''Istanbul Professional League'', was played between 1952 and 1959. Galatasaray won three of these seven titles.

''Türkiye Profesyonel 1. Ligi'' ([[Süper Lig|Turkish Super League]] today) formed in 1959. This is the top-flight professional league in Turkish nationwide football, and the most popular sporting competition in the country. Galatasaray joined all seasons and won 23 league titles since then.

The Turkish Football Federation began organizing the Turkish Cup (today it is organized with the name Ziraat Turkish Cup) in the 1962–63 season for Turkish clubs to qualify for the [[UEFA]] competitions. This is the only national cup competition in Turkey. Galatasaray joined all seasons and won 16 trophies since then.<ref>{{cite news| url = http://www.tff.org/default.aspx?pageID=411| title = Information about Turkish Cup| publisher = Tff.org| date = 20 November 2007| access-date = 14 July 2009| archive-date = 28 January 2016| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160128123920/http://www.tff.org/default.aspx?pageID=411| url-status = live}}</ref>

Probably the greatest record that the club holds is winning national championships in 15 different sport branches in the 1986–87 season.{{citation needed|reason=No source for the claim|date=February 2015}} Another achievement in this period was reaching the semi-final of the [[UEFA Champions League|European Cup]] in the [[1988–89 European Cup|1988–89 season]], making Galatasaray the first and only Turkish team to have played a semi-final in this competition.

Galatasaray's most successful era came in the late 1990s, when the club become the first and only Turkish football club to win a major UEFA competition. They were aided in this by one of Turkey's best generation of homegrown footballers who went on to finish third in the [[2002 FIFA World Cup]], after having played in the quarter-finals of [[UEFA Euro 2000]].  Besides the talented players, visiting teams also disliked traveling into [[Ali Sami Yen Stadium]], literally dubbed "Hell" by media and the visitors due to the intimidating atmosphere provided by the fans including chants and riots in the crowds.<ref>{{cite news| title = News about Galatasaray Match| url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/sport/football/744728.stm| publisher = BBC.co.uk| date = 18 October 2007| access-date = 14 July 2009| archive-date = 12 January 2009| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090112085115/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/sport/football/744728.stm| url-status = live}}</ref> Moreover, the club's fanbase had bitterness with [[Leeds United F.C.|Leeds United]], following the [[2000 UEFA Cup semi-final violence]] when two Leeds fans were stabbed to death by Galatasaray fans.

===Name and pronunciation===
[[Galatasaray, Beyoğlu|Galatasaray]] ({{IPA|tr|ɡalatasaˈɾaj}}) is a [[quarter (urban subdivision)|quarter]] in [[Karaköy]] in the [[Beyoğlu]] district of [[Istanbul]], located at the northern shore of the [[Golden Horn]]. Its name comes from that of [[Galata]], which may in turn have derived from ''Galatai'' (meaning the "[[Galatians (people)|Galatians]]"), as the [[Celts|Celtic]] tribes were thought to have camped at Galata during the Hellenistic period before settling in [[Galatia]] in central [[Anatolia]]. ''Galatasaray'' translates directly as "Galata Palace" (''saray'' means "palace" in [[Turkish language|Turkish]]). [[Galatasaray High School]], established in the area in 1481, was the progenitor of Galatasaray S.K. as well as other institutions of [[Galatasaray Community]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Tekil|first=Süleyman|title=Galatasaray, Dünden Bugüne 1905–1982|year=1983|publisher=Arset Matbaacılık Kollektif Şti|location=İstanbul|pages=1–13}}</ref>

''Galatasaray'' is a compound word and is pronounced as such, with a very brief pause between the two words.<ref name="galatasaray.org">{{cite web|url=http://www.galatasaray.org/tarih/pages/tarihkurulus.php|title=GALATASARAY.ORG|website=Galatasaray.org|access-date=25 January 2018|archive-date=16 December 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141216215848/http://www.galatasaray.org/tarih/pages/tarihkurulus.php|url-status=live}}</ref> There is no diminutive form of the club's name. Fans refer to the club either by its full name or by its nickname ''Cim-Bom(-Bom)'', <small>pronounced:</small> {{IPA|tr|dʒim bom (bom)|}}). The person who brought this slogan to Turkey was Sabit Cinol. While Cinol was in Switzerland for education, he also played football. Inspired by the slogan of [[Servette FC|Servette]], the club he played for, Cinol adapted this slogan for Galatasaray, and this adaptation was embraced by the club and the wider community.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Türk takımlarının lakapları ve logolarının anlamları |url=https://www.sabah.com.tr/galeri/spor/turk-takimlarinin-lakaplari-ve-logolarinin-anlamlari |access-date=2023-06-18 |website=Sabah |language=tr |archive-date=5 November 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171105211319/http://www.sabah.com.tr/galeri/spor/turk-takimlarinin-lakaplari-ve-logolarinin-anlamlari |url-status=live }}</ref> However, the shortened form "Gala" is sometimes used by English speakers.

[[File:Old logo of Galatasaray SK.svg|thumb|upright=0.5|left|First crest]]
Galatasaray's first emblem was drawn by 333 [School Number] Şevki Ege. This was the figure of a spread-winged eagle with a football in its beak. The eagle was a model emblem that Galatasaray dwelled on in the beginning. But when the name did not attract too much interest, Şevki Ege's composition was pushed aside. It was replaced by the current design in the 1920s. This replaced in 1925 by the current "Ghayn-Sin" crest, which are the first two Arabic letters of "G"alata "S"aray, designed by Ayetullah Emin.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.galatasaray.org/tarih/pages/tarihlogo.php |title=Galatasaray Spor Kulübü Resmi Internet Sitesi |publisher=Galatasaray.Org |access-date=10 April 2013 |archive-date=16 December 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141216201723/http://www.galatasaray.org/tarih/pages/tarihlogo.php |url-status=live }}</ref>

At first, the colours of Galatasaray were red and white. These are the colours in the modern [[Turkish flag]]. The Turkish Republic, however, was not founded at that time. Therefore, this decision caused the repressive administration of the day to feel uncomfortable and the administration subsequently pressured the footballers. For this reason, on December 26, 1906, the colors were changed to yellow and black.<ref>{{cite web | title = Künye | url = http://www.galatasaray.org/s/kunye/14 | publisher = GALATASARAY.ORG | access-date = 16 April 2016 | archive-date = 15 April 2016 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160415054533/http://galatasaray.org/s/kunye/14 | url-status = live }}</ref> The eight-piece halved design kit was ordered from the Sports Outfitter [[William Shillcock]] based in [[Birmingham]], [[United Kingdom]].<ref>{{cite web | title =Formaların Yaradılışı | url =http://sismanyankoformaarsivi.blogspot.de/p/renklere-gore-formalar.html | publisher =sismanyankoformaarsivi.blogspot.de | access-date =7 November 2017 | archive-date =8 November 2017 | archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20171108035208/http://sismanyankoformaarsivi.blogspot.de/p/renklere-gore-formalar.html | url-status =dead }}</ref> After a heavy 0–5 loss to [[Baltalimanı]] in a friendly match the new colours yellow and black were counted as inauspicious.

On 6 December 1908, for a match against the football team of the [[Royal Navy]] cruiser {{HMS|Barham|1889|6}}, Galatasaray finally settled on playing in red and yellow, inspired by the [[rose]]s which [[Gül Baba (poet)|Gül Baba]] offered to Sultan [[Bayezid II]].<ref>{{cite web | title = Yellow Red since 100 Years | url = http://www.galatasaray.org/kulupbilgi/pages/yellowred.php | publisher = GALATASARAY.ORG | access-date = 9 December 2009 | archive-date = 30 August 2009 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090830184009/http://www.galatasaray.org/kulupbilgi/pages/yellowred.php | url-status = live }}</ref>
[[Ali Sami Yen]] stated, "''After we have been in and out of several shops, we saw two different elegant-looking wool materials in Fatty Yanko's store at Bahçekapısı (between Eminönü and Sirkeci in Istanbul, now called Bahçekapı). One of them was quite dark red, resembling the cherry color, and the other a rich yellow with a touch of orange. When the sales clerk made the two fabrics fly together with a twist of his hand they became so bright that it reminded us the beauty of a goldfinch. We thought we were looking at the colors flickering in burning fire. We were picturing the yellow-red flames shining on our team and dreaming that it would take us to victories. Indeed it did''."<ref name="hist1" />

The Galatasaray home kit have always been fundamentally the same since 1908. The traditional shirt of Galatasaray is the eight-piece halved design. This consists of the shirt's front, back and sleeves being made up of two colours, resulting in the shirt being split into eight parts. (Two same colours are never next to each other within the 8 parts.) The colours continue in an alternating order, from yellow to red. This results in the front of the shirt being the opposite of the back and the shirt also having an halved design from the side. This alternating colour order of eight parts creates a complete halved design for the shirt.<ref name="Galatasaray kits">{{cite web |title=Galatasaray kits |publisher=Galatasarayformalari.com |url=http://www.galatasarayformalari.com/formacizimleri/index.html |access-date=10 April 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140622172612/http://www.galatasarayformalari.com/formacizimleri/index.html |archive-date=22 June 2014 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
The classic eight-piece halved design would become the look of Galatasaray for around 80 years, until 1985 when sportswear manufacturer [[Adidas]] began to provide the shirts and the sleeves were made up by one colour and not halved.
Created over a century ago, the classic Galatasaray kit combination consists of the eight-piece halved traditional shirt, white shorts and red socks and are usually worn as part of the home strip.<ref name="Galatasaray kits"/> This changed in the mid-1980s, when sportswear manufacturer Adidas began to provide the shirts.

===Ali Sami Yen Stadium===
When Galatasaray were formed no Turkish teams had their own home ground, and all games in the [[Istanbul Football League]] took place at [[Papazın Çayırı]] – now the site of [[Fenerbahçe]]'s [[Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium]]. In 1921 the city's first proper football stadium was constructed, [[Taksim Stadium]], which was used as the home ground for all of Istanbul's teams.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.istanbulunenleri.com/?p=23 |title=En Eski Stadı |date=16 September 2007 |publisher=İstanbul'un Enleri |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081222122441/http://www.istanbulunenleri.com/?p=23 |archive-date=22 December 2008 }}</ref> When historic Taksim Stadium was demolished in 1940, Galatasaray decided to build a large, modern stadium. Due to difficulties stemming from World War II, construction was delayed for over two decades. In this period, they played in [[Şeref Stadium|Şeref Stadi]] and [[BJK İnönü Stadium|Dolmabahçe Stadi]]
On 20 December 1964, [[Ali Sami Yen Stadium]] opened.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.galatasaray.org/english/corporate/facilities/tesis.asp?tesis=1 |title= Ali Sami Yen Stadium |access-date=26 November 2007 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070609231747/http://www.galatasaray.org/english/corporate/facilities/tesis.asp?tesis=1 |archive-date = 9 June 2007}}</ref> Named after the founder of Galatasaray, [[Ali Sami Yen]], it is in the [[Mecidiyeköy]] quarter of the [[Şişli]] district at the center of the city. In 1964, the stadium had capacity over 35,000. Due to improvements in security and prohibition of non-seater spectators, the [[all-seater]] capacity reduced to 22,000 in 1993. A few years later, the rebuilt of main stand, which was damaged by an earthquake, slightly increased the capacity.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.stadiumguide.com/alisemiyen.htm |title=Ali Sami Yen Stadium Information |access-date=26 November 2007 |work=The Stadium Guide |archive-date=25 December 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111225015708/http://stadiumguide.com/alisemiyen.htm |url-status=live }}</ref>
After 2002, when [[Atatürk Olympic Stadium]] was built for [[Istanbul]]'s Olympic Games bid, Galatasaray started to play [[UEFA Champions League|European Cup]] matches there. The attendance record among Turkish stadiums was broken there, in Galatasaray–[[Olympiacos F.C.|Olympiacos]] match played in front of 79,414 spectators. Yet, [[Ali Sami Yen Stadium]] has historic importance for Galatasaray fans although it is smaller and older.<ref>{{cite news |title=Zulümpiyat!

The stadium was in 2011 demolished after Galatsaray moved to the newly built [[Rams Park]].

===Rams Park===

The new home ground of Galatasaray is the newly built [[Rams Park]] in the Seyrantepe area of [[Sarıyer]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.turktelekomstadyumu.com/konum|title=Türk Telekom Stadyumu|last=Telekom|first=Türk|access-date=2018-03-14|archive-date=15 March 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180315041801/http://www.turktelekomstadyumu.com/konum|url-status=dead}}</ref> It is also known as Ali Sami Yen Spor Kompleksi. The new stadium, which was opened 15 January 2011, has a capacity of 53,798 seats, making it the largest private stadium used by a club in Turkey.<ref>{{cite web|title=Stadium info|url=http://www.turktelekomarena.com.tr/stad-bilgileri |publisher=Galatasaray SK |access-date=9 November 2011|url-status=dead|archive-date=4 November 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111104060207/http://www.turktelekomarena.com.tr/stad-bilgileri}}</ref>

====Stadium rituals====
Since 1992, after every goal scored by Galatasaray, the "la la la" part of the song "[[I Will Survive]]" by the [[Hermes House Band]] is played, followed by the sound of a roaring lion. In addition, before every game the Galatasaray "Warchant" is played accompanied by what the fans call a "scarf show" where fans display and wave their Galatasaray scarves, banners and flags. Throughout the match the fans whistle whenever the opponent team gets the ball.

===European matches===
[[File:GS-FB 3-1 Panorama.jpg|right|thumb|Galatasaray fans]]

Galatasaray fans attach high importance to European competitions, and Galatasaray is known as the ''Conqueror of Europe'' by their fans. This nickname underlines the importance of the [[UEFA Cup]] and the [[UEFA Super Cup]] Galatasaray managed to win during the 1999–2000 season. Galatasaray fans also have a reputation in Europe as being one of the most fanatic in the world, along with [[ultrAslan]]. [[Ryan Giggs]] once said ''<nowiki>I've never experienced anything like Galatasaray. Three hours before kick-off, we went out to have a look at the pitch and the stadium was overcrowded! The chanting was brilliant: one side starts, then the other, then quiet, then all of them chanting! The players really enjoyed it. Before it was good, after it wasn't for us.'</nowiki><ref>{{cite web|last=Minshull|first=Phil|title=Goodbye to Hell|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/philminshull/2011/01/goodbye_to_hell.html#more|publisher=BBC|access-date=9 November 2011|archive-date=29 November 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111129215740/http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/philminshull/2011/01/goodbye_to_hell.html#more|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Tozar|first=Türker|title=Galatasaray depart Ali Sami Yen stadium with win|date=11 January 2011|url=http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/association=tur/news/newsid=1585450.html|publisher=UEFA|access-date=9 November 2011|archive-date=19 September 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170919204735/http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/association=tur/news/newsid=1585450.html|url-status=live}}</ref>''

===Records===
Galatasaray fans broke the "loudest crowd roar at a sport stadium" record on 18 March 2011 at Galatasaray's new stadium [[Rams Park]] in Istanbul. A peak reading of 140.76 dBA was recorded.<ref>{{citation| title = Loudest Crowd Roar At A Sport Stadium| url = http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/1/loudest-crowd-roar-at-a-sports-stadium| publisher = Guinness World Records| date = 22 March 2011| access-date = 29 April 2013| archive-date = 17 October 2014| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20141017062753/http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/1/loudest-crowd-roar-at-a-sports-stadium| url-status = live}}</ref>

On May 12, 2024, Galatasaray broke the longest winning streak record (17), beating their own record (14 in 11 March, 2023) in Turkish [[Süper Lig]] history with a 3–2 win over [[Fatih Karagümrük S.K.|FK Karagümrük]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=SPORTS |first=beIN |date=2024-05-27 |title=Galatasaray rekorlarla şampiyonluğa koştu |url=https://beinsports.com.tr/haber/galatasaray-rekorlarla-sampiyonluga-kostu |access-date=2024-05-27 |website=beinsports.com.tr |language=tr-TR |archive-date=27 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240527112216/https://beinsports.com.tr/haber/galatasaray-rekorlarla-sampiyonluga-kostu |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Istanbul derbies==
{{Main|Kıtalar Arası Derbi|Beşiktaş vs Galatasaray}}

"The big three" clubs of [[Istanbul]] – [[Beşiktaş J.K.|Beşiktaş]], [[Fenerbahçe S.K. (football)|Fenerbahçe]] and Galatasaray – have a century-long history of rivalry. The Galatasaray–Fenerbahçe rivalry is the primary Istanbul derby and the most important rivalry in Turkish football.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://galatasarayli.weebly.com/istanbul-derbies.html|title=Istanbul Derbies|website=GALATASARAY|access-date=9 September 2014|archive-date=10 September 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140910200249/http://galatasarayli.weebly.com/istanbul-derbies.html|url-status=live}}</ref> The rivalry poses a symbolic importance to supporters due to an assumed superiority that comes with winning the derby. Supporters are often quoted as stating that winning the league without winning the derby is hollow. There is always huge interest in the derby due to its fierce nature on and off the pitch. Many documentaries have been made about the derby including an episode of The Real Football Factories International. The rivalry has led to violence among supporters on numerous occasions, though this has been on the decline in recent years. The typical features of derby days include sell out stadiums, loud support throughout the match and taunting choreography displays by supporters before kick off.<ref>{{cite news| title = Turkey to send anti-terror police to Leeds to protect Galatasaray| url = https://www.cbc.ca/sports/turkey-to-send-anti-terror-police-to-leeds-to-protect-galatasaray-1.227376| publisher = CBC| date = 11 November 2000| access-date = 14 July 2009| archive-date = 21 July 2009| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090721061010/http://www.cbc.ca/sports/story/2000/04/17/galatasaray_leeds000417.html| url-status = live}}</ref> Other top level İstanbul derbies include the teams; [[İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediyespor (football team)|İstanbul BB]] and [[Kasımpaşa S.K.|Kasımpaşa]] although these teams pose a minor rivalry as the history and the nationwide attention to the derbies among the big three is unmatched.

Torches, smoke, drums, flags and giant posters are used to create visual grandeur and apply psychological pressure on visiting teams, which fans call "welcoming them to hell".<ref>{{cite news|title=Galatasaray find new home while 'Hell' rebuilt |url=http://www.abc.net.au/sport/content/s874472.htm |publisher=ABC Sport |date=7 June 2003 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080318093804/http://www.abc.net.au/sport/content/s874472.htm |archive-date=18 March 2008 }}</ref>
