History

Lefkoşa Türk Spor Kulübü was founded in 1930, and was one of the founding members of the Cypriot First Division in 1934, the sole Turkish Cypriot team in the league. The club merged with Çetinkaya Türk Esnaf Ocağı in 1949, changing its name to Çetinkaya Türk Spor Birliği.
The club went on to become the first team to keep the Cyprus FA Shield permanently after winning it thrice on 1951, 1952, and 1954. After the formation of Cyprus Turkish Football Federation on 1955, the club became a founding member of the Birinci Lig. Çetinkaya Türk remains the only club to have won both Cypriot leagues, main Cup competition, and Super Cup to date.
