# 1982–83 Mersin İdmanyurdu season

Mersin İdmanyurdu (also Mersin İdman Yurdu, Mersin İY, or MİY) Sports Club; located in Mersin, east Mediterranean coast of Turkey in 1982–83. The 1982–83 season was the 11th season of Mersin İdmanyurdu football team in First League, the first level division in Turkey. The team was promoted to first division last season for the fourth time.
President Mehmet Fatih Deveci has transferred two famous players from Fenerbahçe (Paşa Hüseyin and İsa), and Bursaspor's former manager Gündüz Tekin Onay. General Captain was Remon Kumdereli. The club address was: "Yaşat İşhanı K: 3. Mersin. Tel: 15317". Manager Gündüz Tekin Onay suffered from gastrointestinal bleeding; and his assistant Erhan Dodanlı coached the team from 22nd through 25th round.
In the first half of the season the team was successful. However, in the second half they couldn't score goals and they have relegated to second division at the end of the season. It was fourth time the team relegated.
In Turkish Cup they played finals and lost against Fenerbahçe. Since Fenerbahçe also won the league title MİY represented Turkey in CWC (Cup Winners Cup) in next season. MİY became the first team who became eligible to represent Turkey in a European cup and relegated to second league (the other team was Kayseri Erciyesspor). Ironically, as MİY relegated and couldn't have promoted again to first league, Fenerbahçe couldn't have won again the Turkish Cup (until 2010).
