Ali Sami Frasheri

With a group of friends in October 1905, the son of Sami Frashër, Ali Sami Yen and his friends founded the Gallatasaraj football club in Istanbul, to continue with the great contribution to Turkish sports and football.

In July, 72 years ago, Ali Sami Yen (Ali Sami Frashëri), the son of Shemseddin Sami Frashëri, one of the most important figures of Albanian and Turkish literature, passed away.

In the wider Albanian and Turkish opinion, Ali Sami Yen is also known as the founder of the well-known football club from Istanbul, Gallatasaraj. He had dedicated his whole life to Turkish football. The second son of Sami Frashër, Ali Sami Yen was born on May 20, 1886 in Istanbul.

He received his first education from his father, and then he was sent to the high school of Gallatasaraj. Yen, during his education, closely followed the political, literary and sports developments of the period. With a group of classmates they decided to found a football club. Ali Sami Yen and his friends in October 1905 founded the Gallatasaraj club in a literature class. He became the club's number one founder and first chairman.

"Our goal is to play collectively like the British, to have a color and a name and to win over the non-Turkish clubs," was Gallatasaraj's aim, according to Ali Sami Yen.

Also, he was the midfielder of the club, a distinguished footballer among others, while towards the end of 1907, in a match against the club from the Kadıköy district of Istanbul, which they won with a score of 3-0, his leg was broken. After that he could not play as before and ended his football career.

Ali Sami Yen was the chairman of the Gallatasaraj club for 14 years. From 1905 when the club was founded until 1918, he was the president of the club for 13 uninterrupted years, while later in 1925 he again became the president of the club for one year.

Ali Sami Yen successfully managed Gallatasaraj during a difficult period for the Ottoman Empire and during the First World War. He did important work for the development of various sports fields in Turkey.
