Turkey's top flight was founded in 1959 as the Milli Lig, uniting the strongest clubs from Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir into a single national league for the first time. Fenerbahçe claimed that inaugural title, and for decades the competition has been dominated by a familiar core of giants. Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş, the three great Istanbul clubs, have shared the overwhelming majority of championships since day one.
