The team, consisting of 13 Turkish, one Croatioan and one Bosnian and Herzegovinan, completed Group B of the 2019–20 Fitst League season in second place. They were promoted to the topflight Turkish Women's Volleyball League, nicknamed the "Sultans League" although the play-off matches were cancelled due to COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey.[3][4] In the 2020–21 Sultans League season, one American and one Canadian player joined the team. In the 2021–22 Sultans League season, one Uktainian and one German player of national teams were transferred to strengthen the squad.

In the 2023–24 Sultans League season, there were as foreign players one from Dominican Republic, one from Bosnia and Herzegovina and one from the US in addition to eleven domestic players.[1]
