The 2024–2025 Trendyol Süper Lig Season – A Review
The 2024–2025 season of the Trendyol Süper Lig has been one of the most exciting and competitive football seasons in Turkey in recent years. With 20 strong teams from all over the country, including the “Big Four” — Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe, Beşiktaş, and Trabzonspor — the league offered football fans many emotional and unforgettable moments.
This season was not only about football; it was also about passion, surprise results, young talents, and big changes in rules. The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) made a new decision about the number of foreign players. According to the new rule, each team can now register only 12 foreign players in their matchday squad, although they can still have up to 14 in their overall A Team. This rule was made to give more chances to Turkish players and support the development of local football.
The season started with high expectations. Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray both made big transfers during the summer, including several international stars. The Istanbul derby matches between them were followed by millions of fans and became the highlights of the season. Both teams fought for the top of the table until the last few weeks, but it was Trabzonspor who surprised everyone with their consistent performance.
Trabzonspor managed to win the Süper Lig title for the seventh time in the club’s history. This was a huge moment not only for the club but also for Turkish football. Their victory broke the long-time dominance of Istanbul teams and brought new energy to the league. The fans of Trabzonspor celebrated for days in the streets of Trabzon, with music, fireworks, and deep emotions.
Beşiktaş also had a decent season, with some ups and downs, but they showed strong performances in many matches. Their new coach focused on young Turkish players and team spirit, which brought them closer to the top 4. Another highlight of the season was the performance of smaller clubs such as Adana Demirspor and Bodrum FK. These teams managed to beat big clubs and surprised many with their discipline and team play.
The 2024–25 season also gave chances to young players. Several Turkish youngsters were able to play more minutes due to the new foreign player rule. Some of them became regular starters, and even attracted attention from European clubs. This is a good sign for the future of Turkish football.
Moreover, the fans returned to the stadiums in full force. Almost every match had a strong atmosphere, with passionate supporters singing, cheering, and creating beautiful scenes. Turkish football is known for its passionate fans, and this season reminded everyone of that.
In conclusion, the 2024–2025 Süper Lig season was full of drama, passion, and progress. The mix of experienced players, talented youngsters, and changing rules made this season unique. While Trabzonspor lifted the trophy, the whole league showed growth and excitement. Now, fans are already counting the days for the next season to begin, hoping for even more unforgettable moments in Turkish football.
