'''Berliner AK 07''' is a [[Football in Germany|German football club]] based in the locality of [[Moabit]] of the [[Boroughs and neighborhoods of Berlin|borough]] of [[Mitte]] in [[Berlin]], Germany. The team competes in the fifth tier [[NOFV-Oberliga Nord]].

== History ==
The association was established on 15 December 1907 in the [[Wedding (Berlin)|Wedding district]] of Berlin as an athletics club interested primarily in running. A football department was formed in 1908 which has since remained a largely anonymous side playing in lower tier city competition. In the early 90s ''AK 07'' played in the sixth division Landesliga Berlin and advanced to the [[Verbandsliga Berlin]] (V) on the strength of a 1995 championship there. A 1999 Verbandsliga title saw the club further promoted to the [[NOFV-Oberliga Nord]] (IV).

''AK 07'' merged with ''BSV Mitte'' in 2004: ''Mitte'' had earlier been formed out of the merger of the ethnically Turkish sides ''BFC Güneyspor'' and ''Fenerbahçe Berlin''. The restructured association formed a co-operative relationship with Turkish first division [[List of football clubs in Turkey|club]] [[Ankaraspor]] in June 2006 which focuses on player development in Germany.

On 6 July 2006 the club adopted the name ''Berlin Ankaraspor Kulübü 07'' and selected Ahmet Gökcek, son of the mayor of [[Ankara]], as chairman. With the name change the club also abandoned its traditional colours of red and white to don the blue and white kit of Ankaraspor, but later reverted to its old name and colours.

The club won promotion to the [[Regionalliga Nord]] in 2011 and [[List of Bundesliga clubs eliminated from the DFB-Pokal by amateur sides|achieved a]] [[German Cup]] upset when it defeated Bundesliga side [[1899 Hoffenheim]] 4–0 in 2012.<ref>[http://www.weltfussball.de/news/dfb-pokal/_m88035_bak-07-einst-berliner-filiale-von-ankaraspor/ BAK 07: Einst Berliner Filiale von Ankaraspor] {{in lang|de}} Weltfussball.de, published: 19 August 2012, accessed: 19 August 2012</ref>

Since 2024 the club plays in the NOFV-Oberliga Nord.

== Stadium ==
Berliner AK 07 played its home fixtures in the Sportanlage Lüderitzstraße (capacity 3,000) with an interlude (2000–2003) spent at the Hanne-Sobek-Sportanlage. The team has moved to the 20,000 seat [[Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Sportpark]] in Berlin's [[Prenzlauer Berg]] district at the start of the 2006–07 season and currently play at the [[Poststadion]].
