About Us


Our History 
On February 1, 1961, residents of the Levent neighborhood founded the Levent Tennis Club Association with the aim of revitalizing social life and promoting tennis, an elite sport.

Social facilities were built on land initially acquired through leasing. Later, with the unforgettable support of our members, this land was purchased from Emlak Bank, making Levent Tennis Club one of Turkey's leading clubs in terms of land ownership. It has continued to renew itself every day since then, reaching where it is today.

Mission
To foster the development of tennis in Turkey by training honest, disciplined, and successful athletes, and to serve our members in social, cultural, sporting, and artistic areas with fun and joy in an environment of love, respect, and tolerance, establishing bonds of friendship and camaraderie among our members, and encouraging our society in terms of sporting and social life.

Vision
To carry the successes of our junior players, performance teams, and senior teams into the coming years, to play a role in promoting our country worldwide by hosting international tournaments, and to increase the number of tennis enthusiasts in Turkey by offering our members enjoyable activities.
