As of 2013, the club is active in 13 different branches.[2] The football branch of the team was formed as the club individuals gathered and begun to train together, led by Şeref Bey in 1910.[3][4][5][6] Beşiktaş did not take a part of Istanbul Friday League (1904–1915) and Istanbul Sunday League (1915–1923) campaigns and started to play at competitive level of football in Istanbul League in 1923–24 season where they topped the season-end table.[7] The club later joined Milli Küme Şampiyonası (1937–1950) and Istanbul Professional Football League (1950–1959) until the Milli Lig was formed in 1959 as the nationwide professional association football campaign.
Since 1959, Beşiktaş has competed in each and every season of the Milli Lig (1959–1962), Türkiye 1. Futbol Ligi (1962–2000) and Süper Lig (2000–present).

In European competitions, Beşiktaş reached the quarter-finals twice, in the European Champion Clubs' Cup in 1986–87, and the UEFA Cup in 2002–03.[8]
