Sports Branches and Coordinators for the 2025–2026 Academic Year

Our university continues to encourage students to actively participate in sports and supports them in representing our institution across various disciplines.

The sports branches in which our university will compete during the 2025–2026 academic year, along with their responsible faculty members, have been determined.

Students who wish to represent our university are encouraged to contact the responsible faculty member of the relevant sport for further information. Tryouts for each team will be announced via the “Gedikcall” Instagram account, the Faculty of Sport Sciences website, and the Health, Culture and Sports Department website.

You can find the list of sports branches, coordinators, and contact information in the table below.
