History
Giresunspor was founded in 1925 and re-formed in 1967 after the merger of Yeşiltepespor, Akıngençlikspor, and Beşiktaşspor. The football club is playing in the 2. Lig. The Çotanaklar played in the Turkish Super League (then Turkish first league) between 1971 and 1977. It returned to the top level after 44 years by defeating Tuzlaspor 2–1 on an away match on 9 May 2021. The stay in the Super League lasted for two seasons before they were relegated back to the TFF First League where they lasted only one season before being relegated to the TFF Second League, thus suffering a double relegation.
