[3]
In 1965, Orhan ?efik Apak, then president of the
Turkish Football Federation
, asked cities in Turkey to combine their amateur football clubs into one singular club that would represent their communities. These new clubs would compete in the newly created
2.Lig
(Second Division). After several meetings, representatives of the city merged Erciyesspor, Sanayispor, and Ortaanadoluspor to form Kayserispor. The club submitted the required paperwork and were officially founded as Kayserispor on 1 July 1966. They began competing in the 1966?67 2.Lig.

Kayserispor
&
Sivasspor
, first faced each other on September 17th, 1967, in the 2nd Football League match. This first match at Kayseri Ataturk Stadium was canceled after the events that broke out after the goal scored by Kayserispor's Oktay Aktan in the 20th minute and both teams were deemed defeated. This match went down in football history as the 1967 Kayseri stadium disaster. While some sources cited the incorrect decisions of the referee of the match as the reason for the incidents, some sources claimed that the security measures were inadequate. In addition, the events that took place in the match between Kayseri Havagucu and Sivas Sumerspor played before this match were also cited as a reason for the events that occurred in this match.
