Women's football in Turkey is the women's branch of football in Turkey and is governed by the Turkish Football Federation (TFF).〔 ==History== The beginning of the women's football in Turkey goes back to 1971 when Haluk Hekimoğlu formed a women's team called Istanbul Kız Futbol Takımı (Istanbul Girls' Football Team) with 13 young women on his own personal efforts. This team pioneered the foundation of the country's first women's football club Dostluk Spor, which was established on April 19, 1973 at Moda neighborhood of Kadıköy district in Istanbul. Due to lack of opponent women's football teams, Dostluk Spor played in the beginning against men's youth or veteran teams. Dostluk Spor's success led soon to the establishment of other women's football teams Derya Spor, Atılım Spor in İstanbul, Filizspor in İzmir and Nazende Spor in Ankara. Foundation of women's teams in Kocaeli and Samsun followed later.〔 With the establishment of Dinarsu Women's Football Team in 1982, women's football in Turkey rose to higher levels. Finally in 1993, the Turkish Women's Football League was officially established when 16 teams convened to compete each other.〔 Ten years later, there were ten teams only active and the Women's League was dissolved. According to Adnan Ersan, deputy secretary general of the Turkish Football Federation, the league based on a wrong system. The clubs paid barely attention to the provision of experience and training for young players. They did not look ahead for the future, and deployed players older than twenty years of age. Moreover, the national team played no matches from Mai 2000 on. A great many of factors, which sent women's football in Turkey into offside.〔 In 2006, the Turkish Women's League was re-established with seven teams, and the Turkish women participated again at international competitions. In the meantime, the government supported the development. The Turkish Ministry of National Education coined a concept in coopeartion with the Football Federation that envisaged the establishment of girls' football teams in primary and secondary schools. The women's football in Turkey revived, however the national team was composed of young players of amateur-level experience only. National teams of girls' U-17 and U-15 were established in order to feed the women's national team. Young women's footballers in Germany with Turkish-background were seen as a fill-in to strengthen the national team qualitatively, and were called up.〔 The number of women's clubs was seven with 130 licensed footballers in the 2005-06 season. As of the 2010-11 season, there were 72 clubs with 1,500 players.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Women's football in Turkey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
