The 2024–25 season is the 84th season in the history of Adana Demirspor, and the club's fourth consecutive season in Süper Lig. In addition to the domestic league, the team is scheduled to participate in the Turkish Cup.

## Season summary

[edit]

### Pre-season

[edit]

Adana Demirspor, which concluded the 2023-24 season in 12th position in the Super League, terminated the contracts of numerous players and underwent notable changes to its squad due to the economic crisis that began at the conclusion of that season. The team faced significant challenges before the new season, with financial penalties from FIFA and UEFA due to unpaid debts emerging as a major obstacle.

Murat Sancak, who had stepped down from the presidency midway through the previous season, resumed his role prior to the start of the pre-season.[1] An agreement was signed with Joma for the preparation of the jerseys.[2] Michael Valkanis was hired as technical director.[3]

### Start of season

[edit]

Adana Demirspor started the 2024-25 season with an away match against Fenerbahçe, which they lost 1-0. The most notable aspect of Adana Demirspor's performance in the match was the inclusion of 15-year-old goalkeeper Deniz Eren Dönmezer in the starting lineup.[4] In the following three matches, the team only obtained one point in their away match against Kasımpaşa. They remained at the bottom of the league after the first four weeks prior to the national match break between 2 and 15 September 2024.

Another key issue was whether the requisite payments would be made to lift the transfer ban imposed on the club prior to the summer transfer board, which closed on 13 September 2024. Despite repeated calls from fans via social media, President Murat Sancak was unable to lift the ban and declared it to the public one day before the transfer period ended.[5] As a result, the club started the new season without making any new transfers. Due to difficulties in making payments, some players (Milad Muhammedi, Edouard Michut) who were in the squad for the Fenerbahçe match in the first week left the team in other weeks. Consequently, until the interim transfer period at the end of the first half, Adana Demirspor began competing with a limited squad comprising primarily youth and loan players from previous seasons. He was able to get only 1 point in the first 6 weeks of the season and the club announced that they parted ways with Valkanis on 23 September.[6]
