After repeated sanctions with severe depointing caused by major financial difficulties, Adana Demirspor has already been relegated to the third league in Turkey. It is the second consecutive relegation for the former CFR opponent from 2023 (Conference League).
Adana Demirspor mathematically relegated from the second division with 11 stages before the end of the season. Financial problems caused chain sanctions.
The club received transfer bans and successive demerits. The last penalty was drastic, -60 points. In this context, Adana collected only three points, obtained from three draws, in addition to the 24 points canceled. The outcome became predictable.
Adana Demirspor, relegated and relegated to the third league in Turkey
At the moment, the club has an incredible number of points: -57.
At the beginning of February, Adana Demirspor announced, through a statement published on the X platform, a new change of ownership. The club is back under the control of the supporters. The decision came after the sports betting scandal in Turkey, in which the club's former president, Murat Sancak, was implicated and arrested.
Adana Demirspor wrote history only three years ago. The collapse is all the more difficult to explain since, in the previous season, Adana played in the first league. The 2022–2023 season was an excellent one. The team finished in 4th place and qualified for the Conference League preliminaries. In the second preliminary round, he eliminated CFR Cluj.
However, the European course stopped quickly. Adana Demirspor was eliminated in the third round by Genk on penalty kicks. After this failure, the club was unable to stabilize its financial situation and accumulated significant debts.
The following season, Adana was relegated to the second league with a total of just two points. The record was three wins, five draws and 28 losses, to which 12 low points were added. The decline continued unabated.
