Adanaspor Kulübü is a Turkish professional football club based in Adana; currently, they play in the TFF First League.

In addition, Adanaspor's home ground, Adana Stadium, is shared with their archrivals, which intesifies their matches even further.

Toros Kaplanları (Taurus Tigers) were the Runners-up for the 1980-81 season, having participated at the top division for a total of 22 years.

Orhan Kemal (the pen name of internationally known novelist Mehmet Raşit Öğütçü) played for this iteration of the club.

[6] However, the club that would become Adanaspor was founded on January 23, 1954, by Mehmet Şanlıtürk, Mustafa Bekbaş, Erol Erk, Ali Gedikbaş and Dr. Muzaffer Eraslan.

They defeated İzmir Denizgücü SK [tr] 2–0 in the final, with Behçet Arkun and Orhan Yalçınkaya scoring the goals.

[5] In 2011–12, they were again provided a chance to return to the top level of Turkish football, after qualifying to the Promotion Play-offs with a 6th-place finish.

Finally, on 24 April 2016, after 12 years in the lower leagues, Adanaspor guaranteed their place in the Süper Lig for the 2016-17 season after coming back from 0–2 deficit to defeat Gaziantep BB 3–2 away from home.

Professional football team training ground is the Çatalan Tesisleri, 25 km north of the city, in the Karaisalı district.

Until the change in the club management in the early 2000s, Adanaspor had a loyal fan base and had spectator average of 10,000 to 15,000 at every game.

Since the club converted into a one-owner private company, although they continued to be supported at a good season, level of loyalty diminished sharply.

Their permanent location at the 5 Ocak Stadium is the GKA (South Stands) which they call it the 'Arjantin Köşe' (en:Argentine Corner).
