History

Balıkesirspor was founded on 6 June 1966 and started to compete in Turkish Second Football League in 1967–68 season. On 20 August 1967, it played its first competitive match against Malatyaspor and won 3–1. Kadir Gürsoy scored the first goal of the club in that match. The club won its first title in 1974–75 season under the management of Rıdvan Kösemihal and promoted to Turkish First Football League, the top level of Turkish Football. Despite being 4th in the first half of the season, Balıkesirspor finished its first season in the top level in the last place and was relegated to Second League.

After competing in Second League for 10 consecutive seasons, the club was relegated to Third League, the third level of Turkish football at that time. In the 1991–92 season, Balıkesirspor earned promotion after finishing first in Third League Group 7. They made the play-offs in the 1995–96 season by finishing their group first, but lost the chance for returning to the top tier after being defeated by Karabükspor. The following season, Balıkesirspor was one of the relegated sides. Another relegation came in 2001, which meant the club dropped to the amateur leagues.

The promotion back to professional football in 2006 marked the starting point of the revival of the club. Following four promotions in eight seasons, Balıkesirspor has returned to the top flight after 39 years.
