Antalyaspor final team to be relegated from Süper Lig
Antalyaspor was relegated from the Turkish Süper Lig on May 16 despite earning a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Kocaelispor, as all three of its fellow relegation candidates pulled off crucial results to secure safety on the final day of the 2025-26 season.
Entering the 34th week in the relegation zone, Antalyaspor needed a victory and a slip-up from its rivals. While the Mediterranean triumphed at home, wins for Kasımpaşa and Gençlerbirliği, alongside a dramatic draw for Eyüpspor, sealed Antalyaspor’s fate.
Eyüpspor went toe-to-toe with league runner-up Fenerbahçe in a six-goal thriller. The 3-3 draw that came with a late goal earned the Istanbul club the single point it needed to reach 33 points, finishing just above the relegation zone.
Gençlerbirliği, on the other hand, left nothing to chance with a dominant 3-0 away victory against third-place Trabzonspor. Adama Traore opened the scoring in the 32nd minute, while late goals from Franco Tongya and Metehan Mimaroğlu guaranteed safety for the club from the capital.
