Amed

The club was established in 1972 and competed in the amateur leagues for many years as Melikahmet Turanspor, because of a sponsorship with Turan Gazozlar. The club colours were red and white. In 1985 the club name changed into Melikahmetspor after the naming rights/sponsorship had ended.

The Diyarbakır municipality bought the club in 1990 and changed its name to Diyarbakır Belediyespor (English: Diyarbakır Municipality Sports Club). In 1993 the club changed its name into Diyarbakır Büyükşehir Belediyespor (English: Diyarbakır Metropolitan Municipality Sports Club), after the city became a metropolitan municipality.

In the 1993–94 season, the club won the Super Amateur League and was promoted to the TFF 3. League, marking the club’s entry into Turkey’s professional football leagues.

In 1999, Mayor Feridun Çelik of the pro-Kurdish Democratic People’s Party (DEHAP) oversaw a name change for the club to Diyarbakır Büyükşehir Belediyesi DİSKİspor (English: Diyarbakır Metropolitan Municipality Diskispor). The change was intended to generate revenue through sponsorship from the Diyarbakır Metropolitan Municipality's Water and Sewerage Administration (DİSKİ).

At the beginning of the 2010–11 season the club's general assembly decided to alter the name once again into Diyarbakır Büyükşehir Belediyespor.

In the 2012–2013 season the club was promoted to the TFF 2. League, Turkey's third tier of professional football, in which they remained for the next 11 years.

In October 2014, shortly after the club officially changed its name to Amedspor, the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) imposed a fine on the club, citing that the name change had been made "without official approval." The objection of the TFF was because of the existence of another club named Amedspor, which later on changed its name into Amidaspor. However, in the club's final name change to Amed Sportif Faaliyetler Kulübü (English: Amed Sports Activities Club), the TFF announced that it would accept this new name. The club’s adoption of the Kurdish name for the city of Diyarbakır, Amed, led to increased support among Kurds, while also drawing racist attacks from Turkish nationalists and problems with Turkish authorities.

In the 2015–16 season, the club reached the quarterfinals of the Turkish Cup for the first time. In the first leg of the quarterfinal, Amedspor hosted Fenerbahçe.

Amedspor became the champions of the 2023–24 TFF 2. League Red Group and were promoted to the TFF 1. League, the second tier of Turkish football, for the 2024–25 season.

During the 2025–26 TFF 1. League, Amedspor finished second and were promoted for the first time in the club's history to the Süper Lig, the highest level of football in Turkey. The promotion was widely celebrated not only in Diyarbakır but also in major Turkish cities with significant Kurdish populations, including Istanbul, Ankara, Mersin, and Adana, as well as across Kurdish-majority regions in southeastern Turkey, including Van, Şırnak, Batman, Mardin, Muş, Bitlis, Urfa, Siirt, Tunceli, Yüksekova, and Ağrı. Several politicians congratulated the club on its promotion, including Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the President of the Kurdistan Region Nechirvan Barzani, and members of the DEM party.
