There were jubilant scenes in the city of Trabzon on Saturday after Trabzonspor were crowned champions of Turkey for the first time in 38 years.

Trabzonspor clinched the Turkish Super Lig title with a 2-2 draw against Antalyaspor.

It is only the seventh time the club has been crowned champions of Turkey and their first league title since the 1983-84 season.

Tens of thousands of the club's supporters took to the streets of the city, which is situated in the northeast of Turkey on the Black Sea coast, to celebrate the victory.

Stunning footage from the celebrations shows thousands of fans waving the light on their phones in unison while music plays.

A number of fans can be seen sitting on top of streetlights to gain a better vantage point of the celebrations, which look more like a rave than a victory party.

There were fireworks and a mass pitch invasion at the end of Saturday's match, after Trabzonspor were confirmed as champions.

Former Napoli midfielder Marek Hamsik, who now plays for the Turkish club, was swamped by supporters at the full-time whistle.

Speaking after the match, the Slovakia international said: "This is my first championship in my football career.

"I never expected to have it here, but we did.

"Giving this happiness to masses of people is such a great feeling."

Trabzonspor captain Ugurcan Cakir added: "As a child of this city, we are so happy."
