List of Bursaspor presidents

Throughout its history, Bursaspor has seen a diverse range of presidents, each contributing to the club’s evolution on and off the pitch. Since its founding in 1963, the presidency has not only been a leadership position but also a symbol of local pride and sporting ambition in Bursa. Several presidents, such as İbrahim Yazıcı, Cavit Çağlar, and Levent Kızıl, left a lasting legacy by guiding the club to league championships and national cups. Yazıcı notably presided over Bursaspor’s historic 2009–10 Süper Lig title—the first and only in the club’s history.[1] Meanwhile, figures like Muzaffer Başyatmaz and Orhan Özselek oversaw crucial promotions from lower divisions, while Mesut Mestan brought success in basketball by winning the second-tier league in 2019.[2] More recently, Enes Çelik became the youngest elected president and led the club back to success in the 3. Lig in 2024.[3]
