History

The club was founded in 1967 and the first chairman was Atıf Bilginen. Former Fenerbahçe Chairman Aziz Yıldırım is the honorary chairman of Düzcespor. The club had tough times after the 1999 İzmit earthquake and the 1999 Düzce earthquake that hit the city. As a consequence the club withdrew for the 1999–2000 season without losing their right to compete in the following season in the TFF Second League.

In January 2024, the club announced that Şıralık City Stadium would be renamed the İştirak Düzce City Stadium until the end of the season.^[3]
