Genclerbirligi

Gençlerbirliği Spor Kulübü, commonly known as Gençlerbirliği, is a multi-sport organisation from Ankara best known for its men's professional football team, which currently competes in the Süper Lig and hosts matches at the 20,560-seat Eryaman Stadium on the city's western edge. Founded on 14 March 1923 by pupils of Ankara Erkek Lisesi who were excluded from their school side, the club soon became a symbol of youthful rebellion and has been nicknamed Ankara Rüzgârı ("Wind of Ankara") and Gençler ("The Youth") ever since. Its traditional colours are red and black, chosen—according to club lore—either because those were the only fabrics available at a local tailor or because they echo the red-and-black poppies that flower on the Anatolian steppe each spring.
