Kasimpasa failed to close the gap between themselves and the current leaders of the Turkish league Fenerbahce as they could only manage to claim 1 point in their latest encounter that saw them drawing 1-1 against Bursaspor.

Since the creation of the club in 1921, they have spent much the majority of the time in the lower divisions of Turkish football until making a breakthrough after 43 years as they got promoted to the Super Lig for the 2nd time of their history.

Following a number of events that saw them being relegated and promoted they are now making a statement by fighting at the top spots of the Super Lig.

Kasimpasa failed to close the gap between themselves and the current leaders of the Turkish league Fenerbahce as they could only manage to claim 1 point in their latest encounter that saw them drawing 1-1 against Bursaspor.

Since the creation of the club in 1921, they have spent much the majority of the time in the lower divisions of Turkish football until making a breakthrough after 43 years as they got promoted to the Super Lig for the 2nd time of their history.

Following a number of events that saw them being relegated and promoted they are now making a statement by fighting at the top spots of the Super Lig.

The sudden rise to glory has even made the vice president Hilmi Oksuz speak to the press and say: “Our plan points to be champions within five years after having achieved promotion in 2012. We aim also to get to European competition in three years and I am sure that we will succeed. Hope to get a place in next Champions League. Every year we get stronger.”

According to the latest football betting, Kasimpasa are third favourites to take the title, though if they are still up there at the start of the New Year, anything could happen…

Much of the success can be attributed to the latest signings made in modern times including the addition of the veteran goalkeeper Andreas Isaksson who entered the club back in 2012 and helped the club fight for the top spots of the league.

Other crucial signings include the central defender Ryan Donk and former Ajax player Ryan Babel as well as the Argentine player Ezequiel Scarione but now the real tests are ahead of them as they have to prove they are worthy on maintaining the top spots of Super Lig.
