[edit] History

The club has its origins in an ethnically-Turkish recreational football club formed in 1973. Less than ten years later the association registered with Berlin's football federation and began a climb that would see them rival Türkiyemspor Berlin as the city's most prominent side within the Turkish community there.

The club spent the 90s moving up and down between the Berzirksliga Berlin (VII) and the Landesliga Berlin (VI) before being promoted on the strength of a 2001 Landesliga championship to the Verbandsliga Berlin (V). Two seasons later they claimed the title there and advanced to the Oberliga Nordost-Nord (IV) where they play today.

Yeşilyurt enjoyed its most successful season to date in 2001 when they captured the Atatürk Cup in a tournament staged for Turkish clubs in Germany and then emerged as the winners of the Berlin cup competition, known at the time as the Paul Rusch Cup. Their Rusch Cup victory put them through to the opening round of German Cup play where they went out 2:4 to then Bundesliga side SC Freiburg.
