Biography

He was born in Kalimpong, British Raj (modern day India). He lived most of his life in Istanbul and died in New York, United States. Ahmet had two brothers, Yakup and Abdurrahman, who were also interested in sports, however they were killed in action in World War I whilst fighting for the Ottomans against the British in the Sinai front.

After graduating from Galatasaray High School, Robenson was interested in new sports which were not recognized in his country at the time. He is known as being the first organizer of basketball, hockey, tennis, and Scouting activities in his time. He mostly introduced these new sports to his students in Galatasaray High School.

Robenson was also the goalkeeper of the Galatasaray football team, who won the Istanbul League title in 1909.

He later became Galatasaray S.K. president in 1926, and Galatasaray won the Istanbul League once again.

Scouting

The start of Scouting in Turkey is attributed to brothers Ahmet and Abdurrahman Robenson, who were sports teachers at the Galatasaray and Istanbul high schools in Istanbul in 1912,[1] and to Nafi Arif Kansu and Ethem Nejat, with the first units organized at Darüşşafaka, Galatasaray, and İstanbul high schools, during the late Ottoman period.[2]
