History
editThe men's basketball team of Eczacıbaşı SK was established in 1968 as the basketball section of the Turkish industrial group of companies Eczacıbaşı Holding,[1] and began to compete in the lower Turkish basketball divisions. The club soon became one of the most successful teams in Turkey, having won two times the 2. Turkish Basketball League (1974, 1991) and most importantly eight times the Turkish Basketball Super League afterwards.[2] Eczacıbaşı also won the Presidential Cup in 1988 against Fenerbahçe.
At the start of the 1992-93 season the board of Eczacıbaşı SK took the decision that ended their basketball department activities on 3 August 1992 (1992 because of falling for the second time), and the team was disbanded by announcing its withdrawal from the league.
