Mersin İdmanyurdu (MİY) football team became Turkey Amateur Champions in 1963. Previous to the 1962–63 season the team had shown an increasing performance. The team's main aim was to be included in the national league. This aim was realized in 1963. When the team became the champions of amateurs in Turkey, the Federation decided to form a second level national division. Next year ÇİY was included in the Second League. Due to sponsorship reasons the team's name was Çukurova İdmanyurdu between 1957 and 1966.
