Körfesz Belediyespor has changed its name as "Körfezspor" before the start of 2010–11 season and "Körfez F.K." before the start of 2011–12 season. Before the 2014–15 season, the team's name was changed to "Kocaeli Birlik Spor". Körfez is the central district of Kocaeli Province. After financial collapse of Kocaelispor, Birlikspor (meaning "Kocaeli United S.C.") has been expected to fill the gap. In TFF Info Bank, when a team changes its name, its name in previous seasons also change. Therefore in all game reports and league tables the team appears with its newest name.
