Şamil Ekinci Museum, Sports museum in Trabzon, Turkey
The Şamil Ekinci Museum is a sports collection in Trabzon that displays over one thousand trophies, shields, and plaques from the club's history. These objects span decades of the team's competitive achievements and document their sporting accomplishments.
The museum opened in 1996 and preserves memorabilia from Şamil Ekinci's presidency, when he led the club to four league championships. His tenure from 1975 to 1980 marked a period of major sporting success.
The museum bears the name of Şamil Ekinci, a club leader whose tenure in the 1970s shaped the identity of Trabzonspor and left a mark on the city's sports culture. Visitors encounter objects and records from that era that illustrate how deeply this person influenced the community through football.
The museum is located within a building in the city and operates on weekdays with varying hours, while weekend access is more limited. Plan your visit for a weekday to ensure you have the best availability.
The museum displays a trophy that commemorates an unusual occurrence in football history: two teams shared the championship title in 1957-58 because they finished with identical point totals. This rare event remains documented through this distinctive object.
