Darüşşafaka Spor Kulübü, for sponsorship reasons known as Darüşşafaka Tekfen, is a professional basketball club based in Istanbul, Turkey. The club was founded in 1951. The club plays in the Turkish Basketball Super League. Its home arena for domestic Turkish League games is the Darüşşafaka Ayhan Şahenk Sports Hall, with a seating capacity of 3,500, while its home arena for European games is the Volkswagen Arena Istanbul, with a seating capacity of 5,240.
Founded as a multi-sport club in 1914, basketball is their most representative section. Daçka have won two Turkish Basketball Championships over the course of their history. In European-wide competitions, they won the second tier level EuroCup, in the 2017–18 season, by defeating the Russian club Lokomotiv Kuban, in the finals.
History
From 1993 until 2010, Darüşşafaka was a stable TBL (now called BSL) competitor. In the 2000–01 and 2001–02 seasons, the team took the third place in the regular season. In the 2009–10 season, the club ended up in 16th place in the TBL, and was relegated.[1] The team was then a middle-tier team in the TB2L, from 2010 until 2013.
In 2013, Doğuş Holding became the main sponsor of the team, which instantly turned Darüşşafaka into a wealthy and ambitious club. In the 2013–14 season, they won the TB2L title, and were promoted to the TBL (now called BSL).
In the 2014–15 season, Darüşşafaka took the third place in the regular season, after some big names like Renaldas Seibutis and Jamon Gordon were signed for the season. Despite the huge expectations, the team lost in the quarterfinals of the league playoffs to Trabzonspor.[2]
The team received a wild card for the 2015–16 EuroLeague season.[3] Darüşşafaka started playing its EuroLeague home games at the Volkswagen Arena Istanbul, starting from November 2015.
In September 2018, the club announced a multi-year sponsorship deal with Tekfen which changed the teams name in Darüşşafaka Tekfen.[4]
Arenas
Darüşşafaka plays its national domestic Turkish Basketball Super League home games at the 3,500 seat Darüşşafaka Ayhan Şahenk Sports Hall.[5] In November 2015, the 5,240 seat Volkswagen Arena Istanbul was officially inaugurated as the home arena of Darüşşafaka for EuroLeague home games.[6][7]
