Amed Sportif Faaliyetler are back in the Süper Lig after a 3-3 draw with Iğdır FK on the final day of the Trendyol 1. Lig season sent them up in second place. The result, combined with Esenler Erokspor’s 1-1 draw with Pendikspor, left both clubs on 74 points, but Amedspor finished ahead on the head-to-head tiebreaker and claimed the league’s second direct promotion spot.
The 38th week decided everything at once. Amedspor scored three times against Iğdır FK, but Iğdır answered with three of its own, leaving the visitors to wait on events elsewhere before their promotion was confirmed. Erokspor also finished level on points after its draw, but that result was not enough to overtake Amedspor once the tiebreaker was applied. Erzurumspor FK had already secured promotion, so the last round was left to decide who would join it directly.
Amed Sportif Faaliyetler finished the 2025-2026 season with 74 points, one of the clearest markers of how tight the race became. The club had been out of the Süper Lig since 2009-2010, making this return a rare step back onto the top flight stage for a team whose recent seasons had been spent outside the highest level. For supporters, the draw in Iğdır was enough because the table did the rest.
The match itself swung through a familiar final-day rhythm. Amedspor got goals, Iğdır FK matched them, and the scoreline kept the promotion picture unsettled until the other results were in. Erokspor’s 1-1 draw with Pendikspor brought its campaign to the same total, but head-to-head left Amedspor in front. That detail mattered more than the raw points tally and turned a crowded promotion battle into a clean finish.
There was also a wider sense of movement around Erokspor, which will now go into the play-off final. Its opponent will be determined after the matches involving Çorum FK, Bodrum FK, Pendikspor and Keçiörengücü. In a division where small margins shaped the whole week, the final-day draws split the path between direct promotion and one more round of pressure.
The promotion carries added weight because Amedspor’s last spell in the top flight was more than a decade ago. The club’s rise through the 2025-2026 campaign ended with a result that was not clean, not simple and not comfortable, but it was enough. A statement later congratulated Amed Sportif Faaliyetler on finishing second in the league and reaching the Trendyol Süper Lig, calling out club president Nahit Eren, the board, the technical staff, the players and the wider club community. Another message praised the team for representing Diyarbakır in next season’s top flight and wished the club success.
The final-day picture also showed how unforgiving the süper lig promotion race can be. One draw, one tiebreaker and one goal-shy finish decided who moved up directly and who has to keep fighting. For Amedspor, the reward is immediate: a long-awaited return to the Süper Lig, earned not by a runaway finish but by holding its nerve when the table tightened at the end.
