^ abGöztepe side have experienced financial difficulties and relegated from 2006–07 Turkish Third Football League. Before the start of 2008–09 Turkish Third Football League the team merged with Aliağa Belediyespor and two clubs changed their names and logos. Therefore before that season two teams take the place of each other in TFF archive pages. See TFF website club pages for Göztepe and Aliağa Belediyespor (now "Aliağaspor").
^ abBüyükşehir Belediye Ankaraspor appears as Osmanlıspor in TFF reports. Team's name has been changed to simply Ankaraspor before the start of 2005–06 season. Büyükşehir Belediye means "metropolitan municipality" in Turkish. Before the start of 2014–15 season owners of the club changed its name as Osmanlıspor F.K. (meaning Ottoman Sports F.C.). When a team changes its name, in TFF Info Bank its name in previous seasons also changes. Therefore in all game reports and league tables team appears with its new name. See TFF club page and league pages in tff.org.
^ abİstanbul Büyükşehir Belediyespor appears as İstanbul Başakşehir in TFF reports. This is because İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediyesi Sports Club separated its football section and renamed it İstanbul Başakşehir Football Club before the start of 2014–15 football season. When a team changed its name its name in pages for previous seasons also changed. Therefore all the team names except those appear in weekly game results changed as İstanbul Başakşehir.
