1461 Trabzon is a professional Turkish football club located in the city of Trabzon. Formed in 1998 as Değirmenderespor, the club changed its name to Trabzon Karadenizspor in 2008. The club colours are maroon, blue and white, and they play their home matches at Hüseyin Avni Aker Stadium.[1]

History

The club was founded in 1998 as Değirmenderespor and played in the Trabzon amateur league. After the club gained promotion to the 2.Lig in 2008, Trabzonspor bought the club as a local affiliate and rebranded the team Trabzon Karadenizspor.[2] Because of this, the club is mostly made up of Trabzonspor A2 players on loan or former Trabzonspor A2 players.

The reason for the number 1461 before the club's name is that in the year 1461 Empire of Trebizond was invaded and occupied by the Ottoman Empire.

In the season of 2012/2013 the team has won the matches against both Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe in the Turkish Cup. Both matches were away games. 1461 Trabzon finished TFF First League in third place and gained rights to play in the playoff games for the promotion to the Süper Lig but were not allowed by the TFF because of being the local affiliate of Trabzonspor. In Turkish football league system reserve teams are not allowed to play in the same league as the main club. An example of this can be seen in the Spanish football league system.
