Amed S.F.K., (Amed Sports Activities Club) formerly Diyarbakır Büyükşehir Belediyespor, is a sports club based in Diyarbakır, Turkey. The football club plays in the TFF Second League since the 2013–14 season.
History
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. In 1993 the club changed its name into Diyarbakır Büyükşehir Belediyespor, after becoming a metropolitan municipality. DEHAP mayor Feridun Çelik changed the club name in 1999 to Diyarbakır Büyükşehir Belediyesi DİSKİspor in order to generate income from Diyarbakır Büyükşehir Belediyesi Su ve Kanalizasyon İdaresi (DİSKİ). At the beginning of the 2010–11 season the general assembly decided to alter the name once again into Diyarbakır Büyükşehir Belediyespor.
In October 2014, they changed their name to Amedspor without official approval, and therefore had been fined by the Turkish Football Federation (TFF). The objection of the TFF was because of the existence of the original Amedspor, which later on changed its name into Amidaspor. However, when the team changed its name to Amed Sportif Faaliyetler Kulübü, TFF announced that it accepted this new name.
