Berliner AK 07 is a German football club based in the locality of Moabit of the borough of Mitte in Berlin, Germany. The team competes in the fourth tier Regionalliga Nordost.
History
The association was established on 15 December 1907 in the Wedding district of Berlin as an athletics club interested primarily in running. A football department was formed in 1908 which has since remained a largely anonymous side playing in lower tier city competition. In the early 90s AK 07 played in the sixth division Landesliga Berlin and advanced to the Verbandsliga Berlin (V) on the strength of a 1995 championship there. A 1999 Verbandsliga title saw the club further promoted to the NOFV-Oberliga Nord (IV).
AK 07 merged with BSV Mitte in 2004: Mitte had earlier been formed out of the merger of the ethnically Turkish sides BFC Güneyspor and Fenerbahçe Berlin. The restructured association formed a co-operative relationship with Turkish first division club Ankaraspor in June 2006 which focuses on player development in Germany.
On 6 July 2006 the club adopted the name Berlin Ankaraspor Kulübü 07 and selected Ahmet Gökcek, son of the mayor of Ankara, as chairman. With the name change the club also abandoned its traditional colours of red and white to don the blue and white kit of Ankaraspor, but later reverted to its old name and colours.
The club won promotion to the Regionalliga Nord in 2011 and achieved a German Cup upset when it defeated Bundesliga side 1899 Hoffenheim 4–0 in 2012.
Since 2012 the club plays in the Regionalliga Nordost.
Klubbens hjemmebane er Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Sportpark, som har en kapacitet på 19.708 tilskuere.
Berliner AK 07 har aldrig spillet i den øverste tyske række, Bundesligaen, men har optrådt i 2. Bundesliga i to sæsoner, 1974-75 og 1976-77.
Holdet vandt den berlinske pokal i 1950 og nåede finalen i den tyske amatørpokal i 1954.
Berliner AK 07 har en lang og stolt historie og er et af de mest traditionsrige fodboldhold i Berlin. Klubben er kendt for sin gode ungdomsudvikling, og mange af klubbens spillere har fortsat med at spille på højeste niveau.
