History

The basketball brand of Uşak Sportif was founded in 2006, after the football section had already been active since 1984. From 2006 till 2013 the team played in the TB2L. In the 2012–13 season, Uşak finished 1st in the regular season and was promoted to the TBL (now called BSL) as the runner-up. In the 2013–14 the team made its debut on the highest level, and immediately sealed a Playoff spot. This achievement led to the European debut of Uşak in 2014–15, when it participated in the EuroChallenge. Starting from April 2015 the team was known as "Muratbey Uşak Sportif", for sponsorship reasons.[1]
