==Se nama==
The name ''Galatasaray'' means ''Galata Palace'', as [[Galatasaray Lisesi]] is located near [[Galata]], the medieval [[Republic of Genoa|Genoese]] citadel at the north of the [[Golden Horn]], also known as [[Pera]] (''Peran en Sykais''). Since the 19th century, the name "Pera" refers to the larger borough of [[Beyoğlu]] which includes the Galata district.

== History ==
{{Galatasaray S.K. sections}}
{{Main|History of Galatasaray S.K.}}
Galatasaray Sports Club was founded in the fall of 1905, by [[Galatasaray Lisesi]] (an elite high school founded in 1481) students as a [[football (soccer)|football]] club. Galatasaray's first president was [[Ali Sami Yen]]. Their first match was against Kadıköy Faure School and they won this match 2–0.<ref>{{cite news| url = http://www.galatasaray.org/English/Corporate/history/detail.asp?pid=2422&haberid=289785| title =First match and foundation | publisher = Galatasaray.org| date = 2007-11-17}}</ref> There were discussions about the clubs name, in which some suggested ''Gloria'' (victory) and others ''Audace'' (courage), but it was decided that its name would be Galatasaray.<ref>{{cite news| url = http://www.cimbom.org/general/founded.html| title = How Galatasaray Founded| publisher = Galatasaray.org| date = 2007-11-23}}</ref>

According to researcher Cem Atabeyoğlu, Galatasaray took its name from one of its first matches. In that match, Galatasaray won 2–0 over [[Rûm]] club and the spectators called them "Galata Sarayı efendileri" (in [[English language|English]]: Gentlemen of City Palace), and, after this event, they adopted that name and started to call their club "Galata Sarayı". In 1905, during the era of the [[Ottoman Empire]], there were no laws for associations so the club could not be registered officially, but, after the 1912 Law of Association, the club registered legally.<ref name="hist1">{{cite news| url = http://www.galatasaray.org/English/Corporate/history/detail.asp?pid=2422&haberid=289786| title = History of founding from official site| publisher = Galatasaray.org| date = 2007-11-22}}</ref> 

{{Rquote|left|Our aim is to play together, to have a color and a name and to beat the teams of outside of Turkey.|[[Ali Sami Yen]]}}

Among with the founder Ali Sami Yen, the co-founders were the ones who were keen to do this sport, such as Asim Tevfik Sonumut, Reşat Şirvani, Cevdet Kalpakçıoğlu, Abidin Daver and Kamil.

At first, the colors of the Galatasaray Sports Club were red and white. These are the colors in [[Turkish flag]]. However, Turkish Republic was not founded at that time. Therefore, this inspiration caused repressive administration of the day feel uncomfortable and the administration hounded the footballers. For this reason, the colors were changed to yellow and dark blue till 1907. In 1908,
new colors were chosen as red and yellow. [[Ali Sami Yen]] stated, "We were imagining brightness of yellow - red fire over our team and thinking that it would carry us from one victory to another."<ref name="hist1" />

While the football in [[Turkey]] began to fully develop, Galatasaray won ten more ''Istanbul League'' titles, six ''Sunday League'' titles and three ''Friday League'' titles until 1952. Upon recognition of professional football in 1952, the first professional but non-national league of Turkey, ''Istanbul Professional League'' played between 1952 and 1959. Galatasaray won three of these seven titles.

''Türkiye Profesyonel 1. Ligi'' ([[Turkcell Super League]] today) formed in 1959. This is the top-flight professional league in Turkish nationwide football, and the most popular sporting competition in the country. Galatasaray joined all seasons and won 17 league titles since then.<ref>{{cite news| url = http://www.galatasaray.org/English/Corporate/history/detail.asp?pid=2422&haberid=289790| title = Türkiye Profesyonel 1. Ligi| publisher = Galatasaray.org| date = 2007-11-21}}</ref>

The Turkish Football Federation starts to organize "Turkish Cup" (today it is organized with the name [[Ziraat Turkish Cup]]) in the 1962–63 season for Turkish clubs to qualify for the [[UEFA]] competitions. This is the only national cup competition in Turkey. Galatasaray joined all seasons and won 14 trophies since then.<ref>{{cite news| url = http://www.tff.org/default.aspx?pageID=411| title = Information about Turkish Cup| publisher = Tff.org| date = 2007-11-20}}</ref> -->

Galatasaray played during its first years in different fields, since there were not any stadiums in [[Istanbul]]. In 1921, the first stadium, [[Taksim Stadium]] opened.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.istanbulunenleri.com/?p=23 |title= En Eski Stadı |date=2007-09-16 |publisher=İstanbul'un Enleri}}</ref> Galatasaray played there until 1940. When the historic Taksim Stadium was demolished, Galatasaray decided to build a large, modern stadium. Due to difficulties stemming from [[World War II]], construction was delayed for over two decades. In this period, they played in [[BJK İnönü Stadium|İnönü Stadium]].

On 20 December 1964, [[Ali Sami Yen Stadium]] opened.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.galatasaray.org/english/corporate/facilities/tesis.asp?tesis=1 |title=	Ali Sami Yen Stadium |accessdate=2007-11-26 }}</ref> It is named after the founder of the club, [[Ali Sami Yen]]. It is in the [[Mecidiyeköy]] quarter of the [[Şişli]] district at the center of the city. In 1964, the stadium had a capacity of over 35,000. Today, due to improvements in security and prohibition of standing spectators, it has an [[all-seater]] capacity of 24,990.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.stadiumguide.com/alisemiyen.htm |title=Ali Sami Yen Stadium Information |accessdate=2007-11-26 |work=The Stadium Guide }}</ref>

After 2002, when [[Atatürk Olympic Stadium]] was built for [[Istanbul]]'s Olympic Games bid, Galatasaray started to play [[UEFA Champions League|European Cup]] matches there. The attendance record for a Turkish stadium was broken there, in a[[Galatasaray]]–[[Olympiacos]] match played in front of 82,000 spectators. But the [[Ali Sami Yen Stadium]] has historic importance for Galatasaray fans although it is smaller and older.<ref>{{cite news |title= Zulümpiyat! Stadı |url=http://www.fotomac.com.tr/2006/10/20/gal105.html |publisher=Fotomaç |date=2006-10-20 |accessdate=2007-07-15 }}</ref>

The new [[Türk Telekom Arena]] stadium is set to open in October 2010 and will be the new home ground for Galatasaray S.K., replacing the old Ali Sami Yen Stadium. The new stadium will have a capacity of 52,647 seats and 61,000 people (standing). The stadium will also be the first part of Ali Sami Yen Complex at Aslantepe, İstanbul. The Complex will also include a 15,500 seat multi-purpose sports hall, an Arena Complex (shopping-entertainment-business center) and a cineplex.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.galatasaray.org/en/turktelekomarena/haber/47.php |title=STADIUM OF THE DREAMS... ASLANTEPE! |accessdate=2007-11-26}}</ref>

Since 1998, after every goal scored by Galatasaray, the last part of the song [[I Will Survive]] by the [[Hermes House Band]] is played. Although the song is in English, the part used has no lyrics except "la la la la". This makes it easy for fans to participate.

In addition, before every game the Florida State Warchant is played accompanied by what the fans call a "scarf show" where fans display and wave their Galatasaray scarves. A lot of people call the stadium 'Cehennem' (hell) because of the stadium anthem<ref>[http://youtube.com/watch?v=xpH_eVw6qi8&mode=related&search= Galatasaray fans show at Youtube]</ref>
