	Turkish Football Federation History
		The football fever which was started by a group of English people and spread further with the involvement of a group of Greeks resulted in the formation of many football clubs one after the other.
		The milestones of Turkish football between 1950 and 1960 were as follows: the professional football leagues were formed in Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir; the number of football clubs in other cities rapidly increased; Galatasaray, Göztepe and Fenerbahçe achieved successful results in European cups; and foreign players started to play for Turkish clubs.
		Pursuant to Article 1 of the Law, the Turkish Football Federation was established as an autonomous organization and as being subject to private law for the purposes of conducting and organizing football activities in line with national and international rules and representing Turkey in and outside Turkey in the field of football.
