Overview of the Turkey 1 Lig
The TFF 1. Lig is Turkey's second-tier football competition. After the reorganization of the Second Football League, which was the second level of the Turkish league system between 1963 and 2001, the initial TFF 1. Lig was formed in 2001 as the Turkish Second League Category A.
Before the 2007–08 season, the league was known as Türk Telekom Lig A but it was renamed TFF First League. The league was then renamed Bank Asya 1 Lig on January 16, 2008. Bank Asya stepped down as the league's sponsor in April 2012. During the 2012–2016 seasons, the league was known as the PTT 1. Lig, thanks to a sponsorship contract. These days, the competition is once again called the TFF First League.

How is the format of the Turkey 1 Lig?
Before the 2005–06 season, the three best teams were promoted to the Turkey Süper Lig while the three worst teams were down-leveled to Turkish Second League Category B. Since the 2005–06 season, the top two teams have been promoted directly to the Süper Lig, and the teams finishing from third to sixth have played in a play-off.
The winners of both matches were then pitted against each other to determine which team would advance to the next level. The third team in 2009–10 was chosen via play-off group games, in which the regular season's 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th clubs competed in a one-game league format in a neutral location. The play-off status was changed again in 2010–11. The elimination match structure was reinstated on a home-and-away basis.
