Istanbul Technical (Hornets) and Marmara University (Sharks) teams were added during 1995-1996.

The first official match between two Turkish teams was played between the Boğaziçi Elephants and Istanbul Pistof in 1993.

In the following years, the Hacettepe Red Deers, ITU Hornets, Marmara Sharks, METU Falcons, Ankara Cats, Gazi Warriors, Ege Dolphins, and Yeditepe Eagles university teams were also established.

However, during these years, matches were played lacking the basic requirements of American football.

The teams started buying proper equipment in 2001, and American football in Turkey took on a more professional structure.
