The 2017-18 campaign delivered a spectacular return to the top flight for Göztepe, who secured a highly respectable 6th-place finish in their first Süper Lig season in 14 years. Spearheading the charge was the prolific striker Adis Jahović, whose 14 goals proved decisive in a campaign built on the fighting spirit of "Göz Göz" and marked their successful re-establishment among the Turkish elite.
