List of Galatasaray S.K. presidents

The club is owned by the club-members of Galatasay SK, and similarly to a limited liability company, they elect the president by a ballot.

The president has the responsibility for the overall management of the club, including formally signing contracts with players and staff.

Since its foundation, Galatasaray SK has been owned and operated only by its members (all Turkish), unlike most European football clubs.

Ali Sami Yen remains the longest-running president of The Lions (14 years, from 1905 to 1919).

Below is the official presidential history of Galatasaray SK, from when Ali Sami Yen took over at the club in 1905, until the present day.
