Göztepe S.K. is a Turkish professional basketball club based in İzmir. Currently, the team plays in the Turkish Basketball First League. The basketball team is part of the multi-sports club Göztepe S.K..
Re-established in 2024, the team competed in the Basketbol Süper Ligi league during the 1968–69 and 2002–03 seasons.[1] The basketball department was later discontinued due to financial difficulties. As of the 2021–22 season, the restructured team prioritized the establishment of its youth system. In their first season, Göztepe finished as runners-up in the U14 men's category at the national level and also contributed three players to the national youth teams.[2] Among the club's long-term objectives is the development of youth teams capable of competing in the Turkish championships across all age categories, with the aim of forming the senior team through its own resources.[3] In the 2024–25 season, coinciding with the club's centenary, the senior team was re-established and began competing in the Turkish Basketball Second League.
