History
Team had started their operations as the amateur squad in 1950s. Beşiktaş, as one of the participants of Balkans Cup in 1963–64 version, requested the officials to play two away games with a day deficit in between, whereas it had been realized that it was not possible for the team to play two matches in two days. Therefore, A2 team had been tasked for the encounter in Tirane to represent the team on senior level against Albanian side KS Dinamo Tirana. The match ended 2–0 in favour of home side.
Achieved second spot in local championship in Istanbul under the management of Serpil Hamdi Tüzün, Beşiktaş Amateurs participated in Turkey Amateur Football Championship in 1985 and grasped the trophy. The success led team to compete in Turkish Cup in 1985–86 version in which they have been eliminated by the quarter finalists PTT (now known as Türk Telekom Gençlik Spor Kulübü) in 1st Round by the score 1–0. In 1988, they repeated the success and joined Turkish Cup once again, beaten Bayrampaşaspor by 3–0 in 1st Round and Zeytinburnuspor by penalties. Beşiktaş A2 drew Beşiktaş. The two-legged matches ended 4–0 and 5–1 respectively, in favour of the seniors.
