Bursaspor Kulübü Derneği, commonly known as Bursaspor, is a Turkish professional sports club based in the city of Bursa that plays in the TFF Second League, the third tier of the Turkish football league system. Founded in 1963, the club is best known for its football team, which has a rich history in Turkish football. Bursaspor's traditional colors are green and white, and the team's home kits typically feature these colors in a striped pattern. The club has played its home matches at the Bursa Centennial Atatürk Stadium since 2015.
Bursaspor experienced its greatest success during the 2009–10 Süper Lig season, when the club's men's football team sensationally won its first Turkish league title, finishing with 75 points, just one point ahead of perennial contenders Fenerbahçe. This victory made Bursaspor only the second team outside of Istanbul to win the Süper Lig, following Trabzonspor, who first achieved the feat in the 1975–76 season. Bursaspor's triumph disrupted the long-standing dominance of the “Istanbul Big Three” (Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe, and Beşiktaş) and remains one of the most memorable achievements in Turkish football history.
