Karşıyaka S.K. is a Turkish sports club from İzmir. They are currently playing in the Turkish 2nd League A Category at football. The "SK" refers to the sports club, as this club has several other sports branches on-going - basketball (which won the Turkish championship in 1987, won the President Cup same year by beating Beşiktaş and made it to the finals two other times) volleyball, handball, tennis, swimming, sailing (twice under 21 world champions), billiards, bowling, and motorcycling. Fans like to call the club 35.5, in reference to their difference from İzmir whose license plate symbol is 35. On 16 May 1981, a 2nd league match between Karşıyaka SK and Göztepe, the club's main rival, had 80.000 spectators. This is still a world record for a 2nd league match. On 8 February 2003, Karşıyaka beat Göztepe 5-0. From then Karşıyaka supporters started to call Göztepe as "Beştepe"(means five hills). Today, Karşıyaka is in the League A or Second Level while Göztepe is in the 3rd division or Fourth Level.
