Our Football Team Is the Undefeated Champion of Türkiye!

The Bahçeşehir University Football Team, without suffering a single defeat in its official matches during 2008-2009, first became the Istanbul Champion and then the Champion of Türkiye.

In the first stage in Istanbul, our team won all four of its matches by wide margins in the group that included the Naval Academy, Maltepe University, Boğaziçi University and Yeditepe University, finishing first in the group, and faced Okan University, the runner-up of the other group, in the semi-final. Having comfortably won this match as well, the Bahçeşehir Lions faced Kültür University in the Istanbul Final. Bahçeşehir University came out on top again in the hard-fought final, winning the Istanbul Championship undefeated and qualifying for the Türkiye Championship held in Muğla on 13-17 April.

Bahçeşehir University got off to a good start at the championship in Muğla by winning the first match against Sakarya University 4-2, and then faced Kültür University, winning by a wide margin of 5-0. In the third match on the road to the championship, our Football Team faced host Muğla University and managed to draw 1-1, even though our goalkeeper and forward were sent off with red cards, leaving the team with nine players, and a midfielder had to continue the match as goalkeeper because all substitutions had already been used.

After this tough match, our team took the field against Kırıkkale University, which also had seven points, for an early final. After this match ended in a 1-1 draw, Bahçeşehir University beat Erciyes University 3-0 in the last match and became the undefeated Champion of Türkiye.

By beating Kültür University and Kırıkkale University respectively, Sakarya University and Muğla University secured places in the top three and, together with Bahçeşehir University, became the teams that qualified for the super league next year.
