Competitions

The women's handball branch was founded when the club Trabzon Hentbol Akademi SK, which played in the Turkish Women's Handball First League, purchased and renamed Zağnos SK. The team finished the 2013–14 season as runner-up, failed to advance to the Super League after ranking the third place in the play-offs. However, they were promoted as placeholder for a team, which missed to apply on time. Thus, they played in the 2014–15 season for the first time in the Turkey Women's Super League.[1][2][3] The team won the play-outs ranking first in the group, and qualified to remain in the league.[4]
