Galatasaray Marşı ("Galatasaray march") is the official hymn of the Turkish multisport club Galatasaray SK. It was commissioned in 1980 to celebrate the club's 75th anniversary. The words were written by Turkish songwriter Mehmet Faruk Gürtunca and Selmi Andak is the composer.[1] The re re re, ra ra ra, Galatasaray Galatasaray cimbom bom part is a famous fan chant and was sung for the first time by Galatasaray fans at Taksim Stadi in 1922.
The first march was written by Ahmet Malik, who was a student at Galatasaray Lisesi at 1912. This was the first club march of Turkey, written in both Arabic and French and published in Egypt.[2]
