Kardemir Demir Çelik Karabükspor, known simply as Kardemir Karabükspor or Karabükspor, was a Turkish sports club based in Karabük. The team was founded in 1969 after a merger between "Karabük Gençlikspor" and "Demir Çelik Spor". The club had branches in football, wheelchair basketball and volleyball. The nickname of the club was Mavi Ateş, based on the unfading blue flames of chimneys from the Kardemir iron-steel works located in the city. As the factory gives name to the club the team was regarded as a blue collar worker's team. The club finances collapsed during the 2017–18 Süper Lig season, setting the club on a path of constant relegation, losing almost every game as they could play nothing but amateur youth players. The club became unable to field teams and were ultimately banned from the amateur leagues which lead to dissolution as a club.
