In 2012, before our other teams are born, we have founded the men’s team by gathering veteran and experienced players together. Our first aim was to demonstrate our high level of knowledge and experience in Water Polo to the people who are interested in our club and to the future athlete candidates.
In order to make a good start, we participated in the Open Water Polo Turkey Championship, which was held in Adana, on August 24-26, 2012. There were 24 teams joining from various cities of Turkey. Our team won all the matches in its group and get into the finals, in which 8 teams competed. MSSK became the champion of the 2011-2012 season Open Water Polo Turkey Championship, without losing a match. Consequently, our team is promoted to the 2nd league.
During the 2012 – 2013 season, our men’s water polo team continued its success in many important matches and get into the 1st League.
In the 2013-2014 season, our team enthusiastically trained in Istanbul to get ready for the league and continue its outstanding achievements. MSSK finished the 1st league in the 4th place and get the right to participate in the playoffs. We managed to beat the Galatasaray water polo team (that never lost a match for 10 years in the league) with a score of 7-9, in their own field. We finished the playoffs in the fourth place. By doing this, MSSK achieved a level of success that is unseen in Turkey in the last 50 years for a team that recently promoted from 2nd league to the 1st. That is an important fact that portraits the skill and experience level of MSSK athletes.
During the 2014-2015 season Our men’s water polo team get into the playoffs and finished the 1st league again in the 4th place. Our male athlete Alican Çağatay in the 1st league, and also the Captain of Turkish National Men’s Water Polo Team, won the “Top Goal Scorer Award” of the 1st league. In 2015-2016, the team succeded to play at the playoffs and finished the league at the third place.
