Background

History

Conflicts within the club of Galatasaray, which initially began in 1929-30, reached their peak in 1933. After one official was banned from the club, state of things worsened and several other officials and club members resigned. Eventually Yusuf Ziya Öniş, who served as the chairman of the club for a period, also resigned that year for the same reasons. The 25 members who left the club rallied to Yusuf Ziya Öniş and planned to found a new club. The new club's name was decided as Ateş-Güneş (Turkish for "Fire-Sun"), which soon became Güneş ("Sun").

After a short period of time only, the club of Güneş gained considerable success and became the feared opponent of the major Istanbul clubs. Since Güneş consisted of several former Galatasaray members, a special rivalry developed between both teams, which even extended off the field. They experienced their golden age in the 1937–38 season, when they became Istanbul League and National League champions. It was also the same year, only five years after their foundation, that the club dissolved unexpectedly in a sudden manner.[2]
