Süper Lig 2005-06
Encyclopedia
The 2005–06 Süper Lig season began with Turkcell
signing a 5 year sponsorship deal with the Turkish Football Federation
to name the league Turkcell Süper Lig.
Since Turkey dropped from tenth to eleventh place in the UEFA association coefficient rankings at the end of the 2004–05 season, the champions will not directly be entered into the group stage of the UEFA Champions League any more, but rather have to begin in the third qualification round.
The season also saw a first in Turkish football; for the first time in history the team that entered the last week first, Fenerbahçe, failed to win the title. Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray
went into the last week deadlocked at 80 points and Fenerbahçe had a better head-to-head record and a higher goal average. Fenerbahçe needed only a win to defend their title, successfully, and win their third successive. However, a 1-1 draw to Denizlispor
combined with a 3-0 Galatasaray
win against Kayserispor
gave Galatasaray
their 16th league title. The same day, Gaziantepspor
defeated Malatyaspor
1-0 and remained in the Super Lig. Ankaraspor, with an 1-0 win away to Erciyesspor, managed to remain, but Malatyaspor
, Samsunspor
and Diyarbakirspor
were relegated to TFF First League
