In its first season of play in 1983–84 in the C-Klasse amateur league the team captured the division title and they continued to enjoy other successes that would lead to their promotion to fourth-division play in the Landesliga Berlin in 1986, followed immediately by a climb into the third division Amateur-Oberliga Berlin the next season.

By the mid-90s the team found itself overmatched and slipped to fourth-tier play in the Amateur Oberliga Nordost-Nord after a last place finish in 1995.

Türkiyemspor fell to the Verbandsliga Berlin (V) in 1998 and spent two seasons there before returning to the Oberliga Nordost-Nord (IV) on the strength of a division championship in 2000.

Despite the club being immersed in insolvency proceedings, the first team returned to league football and entered the Berlin-Liga (VI) in 2012, where they finished third from bottom.

They have contributed to creating a positive image for their community and helped set a confident example for Turks in the country with many other ethnically-Turkish clubs following in their footsteps.

The name Türkiyemspor is now also used by clubs in Mönchengladbach, Wuppertal, Breuberg, Amsterdam, Australia, and the United States.

Türkiyemspor squads typically included many players without German citizenship from families of long-term migrant workers in the Turkish community.

League rules were modified to exempt players without citizenship who could show that they had played several years of youth football in Germany.
