Ultimate was first played in Turkey in Istanbul, starting in early 2007 by an amateur group mostly consisting of foreigners. In the following years, as the number of teams formed by university students and graduates increased, the Spirit of the Game Association (ORD) was established in 2011 to bring together developments in Frisbee in Turkey under one roof and to simplify communication channels. The association continues its existence with the aim of promoting and spreading Ultimate Frisbee, organizing training activities and sports competitions in this field, and contributing to the development of this sport both nationally and internationally.
