Sports‘We are here’: Kurdish club Amedspor shakes up Turkish football

Diyarbakir-based Amedspor have climbed from the third tier to the Turkish Super Lig, ranking second after 10 games in their first top-flight season. A win over leaders Galatasaray on Saturday would put them first. The club’s rise has coincided with a softer political climate; long seen as a symbol of Kurdish identity, it previously faced fines, away-fan bans and hostility.
