The Süper Lig (formerly National League, First Football League and First Super League and currently known under a sponsorship deal as the Turkcell Süper Lig) is the top-flight league in Turkish nationwide football, and the most popular sporting competition in the country. It is managed by Turkish Football Federation.

Overview
Before the founding of Süper Lig, national champion was defined by Turkish Football Championship -which was played as a knock-out competition after end of the regional leagues, between the most recent regional champions of all over the Turkey to define national champion of the year- and National League -which was played after end of the regional leagues between the most recent regional champions and top clubs of Ankara Football League, Istanbul Football League, Izmir Football League and Eskişehir Football League(for one time) in a league system-.
Then, the league was established in 1959 as an attempt to unify some of the many regional leagues around the country. The season begins in August each year and ends in May, with a month-long winter break in December and January. The 18 clubs in the league play each other twice, once at home and once away. The bottom three teams are relegated to the TFF First League at the end of each season and replaced by three others teams from that league.
As of the 2009/10 season, the top two teams qualify for the Champions League, with the champions entering the group stages and the runners-up entering in the third qualifying round. The third-placed league team, the fourth-placed team and the winners of the Turkey Cup make up the three Turkish teams that enter the Europa League.
The arrival of private television channels in Turkey in the 1990s created a bidding war for live coverage rights, pouring money into the league and raising footballing standards dramatically. Live coverage rights are currently held by Digiturk, the digital satellite platform, until the contract expires in 2010. Digiturk bought the rights in 2004 for 135.85 million New Turkish lira (US$99 million).[1] On the other hand, Doğan Medya, the company of the Turkish media magnate Aydın Doğan, argued that the contract of Digiturk would expire in 2008. In accordance to this claim, Doğan Medya came out with a new offer of approximately $180 million.[2]
In 2005, the Turkish Football Federation signed a five-year deal with mobile phone operator Turkcell that saw the league's name changed to the 'Turkcell Super League' for five years. It came some years after an abortive sponsorship attempt by Turkcell's rivals, Telsim, in 1999.
