'''Anadolu Efes Spor Kulübü''', commonly referred to as '''Anadolu Efes''' or simply '''Efes''', is a professional [[basketball]] team based in [[Istanbul]], [[Turkey]]. Founded in 1976, the club was formerly known as '''Efes Pilsen''' until 2011. Efes is the 2021–22 [[EuroLeague|Euroleague]] champion and on the first place of [[European professional basketball club rankings|European Club Ranking]] after the [[EuroLeague Final Four|Final Four]] 2020–21. Efes is also the most successful club in the history of the [[Basketbol Süper Ligi|Turkish Super League]] (BSL), having won the league's championship 16 times. Efes has won a total of 42 domestic trophies, more than any other Turkish basketball club.


The home arena of Anadolu Efes S.K. is the [[Sinan Erdem Dome]] in Istanbul, which has a [[seating capacity]] of 16,000 for basketball games. The club has its own practice facility in the district of [[Bahçelievler]], which was built in 1982. The team competes in the [[Basketbol Süper Ligi|Turkish Super League]] and the [[EuroLeague]]. The team is owned by the [[Efes Beverage Group]].
The club's main claim to fame was winning the Koraç Cup in [[1996]], marking the first-ever [[Europe]]an title in a team sport by a Turkish club. Before that triumph, it had already established itself as one of the country's top basketball clubs. Since then, it has become a fixture in the [[Euroleague]], making the competition's [[Final Four]] in [[2000]] and narrowly missing the Final Four in [[2002]], [[2003]], and [[2004]].


Anadolu Efes has developed a fierce rivalry with [[Fenerbahçe Basketball|Fenerbahçe]] in recent years. The two clubs often meet in playoff series and cup finals.

The club was established in 1976 as Efes Pilsen S.K., by taking over the [[Turkish Basketball First League|Turkish second-division]] club Kadıköyspor, which had failed due to financial problems.<ref>[http://en.efesbasket.org/Efes-Pilsen-History/History.aspx History] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110814081308/http://en.efesbasket.org/Efes-Pilsen-History/History.aspx |date=August 14, 2011 }}, efesbasket.org</ref> Its initial sponsor was its former longtime namesake, [[Efes Beverage Group|Efes Pilsen]], a subsidiary of the Anadolu Group. It won the 1978 Turkish second division national championship undefeated, earning [[promotion and relegation|promotion]] to the [[Basketbol Süper Ligi|Turkish first division]], where it has continuously competed ever since. In its first top-flight season (1978–79), Efes Pilsen S.K. won the Turkish national league title, immediately establishing itself as one of the country's top clubs.

After finishing 2nd in the [[1992–93 FIBA European Cup]], Efes Pilsen S.K. won the [[1995–96 FIBA Korać Cup]], which marked the first-ever European-wide title won by a Turkish club in any team sport. Efes Pilsen S.K. (later renamed Anadolu Efes S.K.) has also become a fixture in the [[European professional club basketball system|European-wide top-tier level]] [[EuroLeague]], making it to the competition's [[EuroLeague Final Four]] in [[2000 FIBA EuroLeague Final Four|2000]], and also to the [[FIBA SuproLeague]]'s [[2001 FIBA SuproLeague Final Four|2001 Final Four]], and finishing 3rd on both occasions.<ref>[http://en.efesbasket.org/Efes-Pilsen-History/Our-Successes.aspx Our Successes] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120324184003/http://en.efesbasket.org/Efes-Pilsen-History/Our-Successes.aspx |date=March 24, 2012 }}, efesbasket.org</ref>

In 2011, the club changed its name to Anadolu Efes S.K., after the TAPDK ([[Tobacco and Alcohol Market Regulatory Authority]]) in Turkey prohibited the advertisement of tobacco and alcohol products in sports organizations.<ref>[http://en.efesbasket.org/News/Senior-Team/announcement.aspx Announcement] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120324183937/http://en.efesbasket.org/News/Senior-Team/announcement.aspx |date=2012-03-24 }}, efesbasket.org</ref>

In the 2017–18 season, Efes finished in the 16th and last place in the [[2017–18 EuroLeague|EuroLeague]].

In the 2018–19 season, Efes had success in the [[EuroLeague]] as it managed to clinch the fourth-seed in the regular season. In the play-offs, the team beat [[FC Barcelona Basquet|FC Barcelona]] to advance to its first [[EuroLeague Final Four]] in 19 years.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.eurohoops.net/en/euroleague/870897/anadolu-efes-becomes-the-fourth-2019-final-four-team/|title=Anadolu Efes becomes the fourth 2019 Final Four team|date=May 2019}}</ref> In the semi-final, Efes beat Fenerbahçe 92–73 to reach its first EuroLeague Final in history.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/anadolu-efes-advances-to-euroleague-final-for-the-first-time-143520|title=Anadolu Efes advances to EuroLeague final for the first time - Turkish News|website=Hürriyet Daily News|date=18 May 2019 }}</ref> In the championship game, Efes was defeated by [[PBC CSKA Moscow|CSKA Moscow]], eventually finishing as the runner-up. In the same season, Efes won its first BSL championship since 2009. In Game 7 of the Finals against Fenerbahçe, Efes won 89–74 after [[Shane Larkin]] scored 38 points. Larkin was later named [[BSL Finals MVP]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.eurohoops.net/en/tbl/896582/shane-larkin-scores-career-high-leads-efes-to-turkish-league-title/|title = Shane Larkin scores career-high, leads Efes to Turkish League title|date = 21 June 2019}}</ref>

Anadolu Efes Spor Kulübü, commonly referred to as Anadolu Efes or simply Efes, is a professional basketball team based in Istanbul, Turkey. Founded in 1976, the club was formerly known as Efes Pilsen until 2011. Efes is the 2021–22 Euroleague champion and on the first place of European Club Ranking after the Final Four 2020–21. Efes is also the most successful club in the history of the Turkish Super League (BSL), having won the league's championship 16 times. Efes has won a total of 42 domestic trophies, more than any other Turkish basketball club.

The home arena of Anadolu Efes S.K. is the Sinan Erdem Dome in Istanbul, which has a seating capacity of 16,000 for basketball games. The club has its own practice facility in the district of Bahçelievler, which was built in 1982. The team competes in the Turkish Super League and the EuroLeague. The team is owned by the Efes Beverage Group.

Anadolu Efes has developed a fierce rivalry with Fenerbahçe in recent years. The two clubs often meet in playoff series and cup finals.

History

[edit]
See also: Efes Pilsen SK in European club competitions

The club was established in 1976 as Efes Pilsen S.K., by taking over the Turkish second-division club Kadıköyspor, which had failed due to financial problems.[1] Its initial sponsor was its former longtime namesake, Efes Pilsen, a subsidiary of the Anadolu Group. It won the 1978 Turkish second division national championship undefeated, earning promotion to the Turkish first division, where it has continuously competed ever since. In its first top-flight season (1978–79), Efes Pilsen S.K. won the Turkish national league title, immediately establishing itself as one of the country's top clubs.

After finishing 2nd in the 1992–93 FIBA European Cup, Efes Pilsen S.K. won the 1995–96 FIBA Korać Cup, which marked the first-ever European-wide title won by a Turkish club in any team sport. Efes Pilsen S.K. (later renamed Anadolu Efes S.K.) has also become a fixture in the European-wide top-tier level EuroLeague, making it to the competition's EuroLeague Final Four in 2000, and also to the FIBA SuproLeague's 2001 Final Four, and finishing 3rd on both occasions.[2]

In 2011, the club changed its name to Anadolu Efes S.K., after the TAPDK (Tobacco and Alcohol Market Regulatory Authority) in Turkey prohibited the advertisement of tobacco and alcohol products in sports organizations.[3]

In the 2017–18 season, Efes finished in the 16th and last place in the EuroLeague.

In the 2018–19 season, Efes had success in the EuroLeague as it managed to clinch the fourth-seed in the regular season. In the play-offs, the team beat FC Barcelona to advance to its first EuroLeague Final Four in 19 years.[4] In the semi-final, Efes beat Fenerbahçe 92–73 to reach its first EuroLeague Final in history.[5] In the championship game, Efes was defeated by CSKA Moscow, eventually finishing as the runner-up. In the same season, Efes won its first BSL championship since 2009. In Game 7 of the Finals against Fenerbahçe, Efes won 89–74 after Shane Larkin scored 38 points. Larkin was later named BSL Finals MVP.[6]

In the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 seasons Anadolu Efes won back-to-back EuroLeague Championships.

Home arenas

[edit]

For many years, Efes has used the Abdi İpekçi Arena, with a seating capacity of 12,270, to host its home games. Currently, Efes uses the 16,000 seat Sinan Erdem Dome for its home games.[7]
