Sports of Izmir

Notable football clubs in İzmir are: Altay SK, Altınordu, Göztepe A.Ş., İzmirspor and Karşıyaka SK. The rivalry among these clubs is notorious and it is often to their own disadvantage and to the detriment of İzmir's standing in Turkey's world of sports as a whole. Currently, there is no team from İzmir playing in the Turkish Super League.

Several important international sports events were held in İzmir:

1971 - Mediterranean Games,

7 - 22 August, 2005 - Summer Universiade, the International University Sports Games,

2 - 7 September, 2005 - preliminary games of European Women's Basketball Championship,
