History
The 1914-established İzmir-based Altay S.K. of the Süper Lig founded the women's football team in 2020 with the intention to join the Women's Third League.[1][2][3][4] For preparations for the upcoming league season, the team trained at Kültürpark, an urbank park in the city center, since the club's facility with two fields of grass ground were not available to the women's team.[3] The newly formed team ended their trainings because it became evident that they will not compete in the league as the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) suspended the Women's Third League in the 2020–21 season dure to ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey.[2][4]
In September 2021, Altay S.K. applied to the TFF to be admitted to the Women's Super League, which was newly restructured from the Women's First League by the TFF to incorporate women's teams of major clubs of the men's Süper Lig.[2] Upon approval, the team joined the Women's Super League.[1][5]
For preparation to the 2020-21 Turkcell Super League season, the team played their first match, a friendly game, against the also new-formed team Galatasaray S.K.[6]
