Mersin İdmanyurdu (also Mersin İdman Yurdu, Mersin İY, or MİY) Sports Club; located in Mersin, east Mediterranean coast of Turkey in 1982–83. The 1982–83 season was the 11th season of Mersin İdmanyurdufootball team in First League, the first level division in Turkey. The team was promoted to first division last season for the fourth time.
In the first half of the season the team was successful. However, in the second half they couldn't score goals and they have relegated to second division at the end of the season. It was fourth time the team relegated.
In Turkish Cup they played finals and lost against Fenerbahçe. Since Fenerbahçe also won the league title MİY represented Turkey in CWC (Cup Winners Cup) in next season. MİY became the first team who became eligible to represent Turkey in a European cup and relegated to second league (the other team was Kayseri Erciyesspor).
