History
The association was established on December 15, 1907 in the Wedding district of Berlin as an athletics club interested primarily in running. A football department was formed in

In the early 90s "AK 07" played in the sixth division Landesliga Berlin and advanced to the Verbandsliga Berlin (V) on the strength of a1995 championship there. A1999 Verbandsliga title saw the club further promoted to the Oberliga Nordost-Nord (IV) where they play today. In2006 -07 matched its best ever result at this level with a fourth place finish."AK 07" merged with "BSV Mitte" in
2004 : "Mitte" had earlier been formed out of the merger of the ethnically Turkish sides "BFC Güneyspor" and "Fenerbahce Berlin". The re-structured association formed a co-operative relationship with Turkish first division clubAnkaraspor in June2006 which focuses on player development in Germany., as Chairman. With the name change the club also abandoned its traditional colours of red and white to don the blue and white kit of Ankaraspor.
