History

Former logo of the club

Tofaş was founded in 1974. The team won the BSL in two consecutive years in 1998-99 and 1999-2000 seasons. The following year, however, the team withdrew from the league for financial reasons. They returned to competition in the BSL in 2003-04 season but relegated the following year. Tofaş played in BSL from the 2009-10 season to the 2014-15 season. In addition to their two league titles, the team has won three Turkish Cups and a Turkish President's Cup.

In their heyday, the team achieved significant success at continental level, losing a Korać Cup final against Aris Thessaloniki from Greece. Tofaş also competed in the Euroleague in the 1999-2000 season.
