Mersin İdmanyurdu was founded on August 16, 1925 in Mersin, Turkey. Due to the emblem design supporters call the club Kırmızı Şeytanlar (‘The Red Devils’).
The club uses its own stadium called Tevfik Sırrı Gür (capacity – about 10 thousand seats) for home matches and practices.
The 2011/2012 season marked the team’s 11th participation in the Turkish Super Lig when they finished in the 13th place. The team’s biggest accomplishment so far is running-up to the Turkish Cup final (1983), which meant participation in the European Cup Winners’ Cup.
In the 2012/2013 season Mersin Idmanyurdu finished bottom of the table and went down to the First Lig. Next season they returned to the top flight.
