Turkgucu Munchen

Turkgucu Munchen is a German association football club from the city of Munich, Bavaria.

The club, which is based in the Turkish community of Munich, was formed in 2009 in a merger of Turkischer SV 1975 Munchen and ATA Spor Munchen. Turkischer SV 1975, in turn, succeeded SV Turk Gucu Munchen in 2001 when the latter became insolvent. Turk Gucu was a successful third-division side in the second half of the 1980s and the early 1990s, when the club aimed as high as the German second division, without quite getting there.

Turkgucu were promoted to 3. Liga in 2020 and played its home games at Stadion an der Grunwalder Strase. For the 2020–21 season, the team has played their home matches at the Olympiastadion Munchen and at Stadion an der Grunwalder Strase, sharing the latter stadium with their fellow 3. Liga side 1860 Munich. Turkgucu Munich filed for insolvency on January 31, 2022. As a result, there is a risk of a deduction of 9 points due to No. 6b of the DFB rules of play due to an application to open insolvency proceedings. Due to insolvency, their season has been nullified and all points have been deducted.

History

SV Turk Gucu

The club was formed in 1975 by a handful of Turkish migrant workers in Munich, then under the name of SV Turk Gucu Munchen (English: Turkish Power Munich). Originally, the football team played in the lowest tiers of Munich amateur football, something that changed from 1983 onwards, when a number of wealthy Turkish businessmen took over the running of the club. The club found the Bezirksportanlage am Krehlebogen as a permanent home ground and was able to establish a youth department.

Turk Gucu, as the club was commonly referred to, earned a number of promotions, culminating in a 3–1 promotion decider victory over VfR Neuburg, played in front of 3,000 spectators, which earned the club entry to the fourth division Landesliga Bayern-Sud.
