Devastating Collapse and Early Relegation for Turkish Team with Negative Balance of 57

Adana Demirspor faces relegation to the third division after a disastrous season, marked by financial penalties and poor performance.

Adana Demirspor, a Turkish football team, is experiencing a shocking historical moment as they face relegation to the third division with a staggering negative balance of 57 points. This comes just a year after their relegation from the first division, worsened by the recent decision from FIFA's disciplinary committee to deduct 12 points for two separate incidents. Consequently, the team now occupies the last position in the second division league after having not won a single match in the current 2025-2026 season, managing only three draws against 24 losses.

The current predicament of Adana Demirspor has been exacerbated by severe penalties related to significant financial crises leading to repeated points deductions. Over the past few months, the club has struggled not only on the pitch but also off it, as they grapple with financial instability that has adversely affected their performance. The team's situation is a stark reflection of the challenges faced by clubs that fail to manage their finances effectively within the competitive landscape of football.

In a surprising twist, Adana Demirspor announced a change of ownership, handing control over to the fans, solidifying their status as the true owners of the club. The statement from the club highlights a new era with its fans at the helm, emphasizing their commitment to steering the club back to stability and success. This development signals a potential shift in how the club will be managed going forward, as fans hope to inspire a revival following such a catastrophic season.
