Mersin İdmanyurdu (also Mersin İdman Yurdu, Mersin İY, or MİY) Sports Club; located in Mersin, east Mediterranean coast of Turkey in 1971–72. The 1971–72 season was the fifth season of Mersin İdmanyurdu (MİY) football team in Turkish First Football League, the first level division in Turkey. They finished seventh in the league.

Club address was: Bahçelievler, Silifke Caddesi, Mersin. Tel: 1321.

Sözmen, C. Baydur, M. Şahin.[1]

Vice-presidents Erol Tarhan and Mahir Turhan called former coach Turgay Şeren back to club but they could not agree. Mersin İdmanyurdu signed a contract with a foreign manager for the first time in its history, Dumitru Teodorescu.[2] Club executives Orhan Mutlu and Sezai Sak signed former Beşiktaş coach in İstanbul. However, because MİY couldn't obtain a work permit for Teodorescu from Romanian Football Federation, they signed with Turgay Şeren after the second round. Turgay Şeren completed the season.
