Excerpt: 1967 Kayseri Atatürk Stadium disaster refers to an occurrence of football hooliganism, resulting in 40 deaths at least 300 injuries, during the football match held on September 17, 1967 between the clubs of Kayseri Erciyesspor and Sivasspor at the Atatürk Stadium of Kayseri in Turkey. It was the worst sports-related violence to occur in Turkey. The violence erupted following provocation of the Kayseri Erciyesspor fans in the half time, whose team went to leading by a goal scored in the first half. Supporters of the two teams threw rocks to each other. Some of the hooligans were also armed with bats and knives. The fleeing crowd caused a stampede in front of the stand exits. The events in the stadium were followed by vandalism in Kayseri and many-days lasting riots in Sivas. Background With the initiation of the Turkey Football Federation, amateur football clubs of the provinces in the countryside were encouraged in the mid-1960s to unite in order participate in a newly-established nationwide Second Football League. Kayseri's three small sports clubs, "Erciyes Spor", "Kayseri Sanayi Spor" and "Orta Anadolu Spor", merged in the spring of 1966 to form Kayseri Erciyesspor, which joined the Second Football League in the 1966-1967 season. On the other hand, three sports clubs in the neighboring city of Sivas, "Sivas Gençlik", "Yolspor" and "Kzlrmak", merged in May 1967 to found Sivasspor, which was admitted to the Second League's 1967-1968 season as a late-comer.
