In the world of football, records are usually meant to be celebrated, but for one Turkish second division club, their ongoing streak of defeats has become an agonising journey of frustration.

Yeni Malatyaspor has now endured 44 consecutive defeats, and with no wins or even draws to their name, they are rapidly sealing their place as the worst football club in the world, footballrover reports.

So how did a team fall so far behind, and can they finally break free from their nightmarish run?

The miserable streak: 44 consecutive defeats without a single win

It’s hard to fathom how a club can lose 44 consecutive matches in a row.

In a league like Turkey’s second division, where the competition is far from the top tiers of European football, how difficult can it be to scrape together at least one draw?

Unfortunately for Yeni Malatyaspor, even the simplest task—securing a point—has proven impossible.

For over 761 days, they’ve faced defeat after defeat, leaving fans to wonder if the club even has a real chance of turning things around.

The team’s numbers speak for themselves: 141 goals conceded and only 14 scored in all competitions.

This utter collapse includes two recent humbling losses: back-to-back 7-0 defeats to Keçiörengücü and Erzurumspor FK.

As of now, Yeni Malatyaspor has failed to score in 30 matches, conceding 3 or more goals in each of the 44 fixtures they’ve played.

Fans and pundits can’t help but ask—can this worst football club turn the corner, or is it a sinking ship?

Can Yeni Malatyaspor end their historic streak of 44 consecutive defeats?

The numbers don’t lie, and the club’s record paints a grim picture.

From February 2023 to March 2025, they endured one crushing defeat after another, with no hope in sight.

With each passing game, the question becomes more pressing: can they break their devastating streak of 44 consecutive defeats?

The team’s poor performance is no fluke. Over these past 25 months, they’ve lost 21 home matches and 23 away games, leaving them at the very bottom of the TFF First League with just -21 points.

This season, despite having played 24 matches, Yeni Malatyaspor has yet to secure a single win or draw.

With 98 goals conceded and a paltry 11 goals scored, they remain stuck in the 20th spot.

The question remains: will this worst football club in Turkey finally find a way to end their endless losing streak?
