History of Bursaspor
Before the foundation of Bursaspor, there had been five football clubs in Bursa; Akınspor, Acar İdman Yurdu, Pınarspor, Muradiye Çelikspor and İstiklal. The foundation dates of these clubs approximately go back to the first quarter of the 20th century. The disunity in Bursa football came to the end in 1963 when administrators of the five clubs came to the decission of abolishing these seperate football clubs and making a unity in order to form the very only football club of the city -Bursaspor. Today, the different-coloured five stars in the emblem of Bursaspor remain the memories of these five football clubs.
