Fenerbahçe Spor Kulübü (Turkish: [feˈnæɾbahtʃe], Fenerbahçe Sports Club), commonly known simply as Fenerbahçe or colloquially as Fener, is a professional football club based in Kadıköy, Istanbul, Turkey. They compete in the Süper Lig, the top division of Turkish football. Founded in 1907, Fenerbahçe is one of Turkey’s most successful and widely supported clubs, boasting a record 28[4][5] Turkish national championship titles, including victories in the pre-1959 Turkish Football Championship and the Süper Lig era. The club has also won 9 Turkish Super Cups and 7 Turkish Cups, making them one of the most decorated teams in Turkish football history. They have a long-standing rivalry with Galatasaray, with whom they contest The Intercontinental Derby, one of the fiercest and most widely followed derbies in world football.[6][7] Their home matches have been played at the 47,430-capacity Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium in Istanbul since 1908.[8]

Fenerbahçe won their first major honor in domestic football in the early 20th century and continued to dominate Turkish football before the establishment of the Süper Lig in 1959. Prior to this, the club won multiple Turkish Football Championship titles, asserting its place as one of Turkey’s footballing powerhouses. Since the creation of the Süper Lig, Fenerbahçe has remained one of the most successful teams, regularly contending for the title and winning numerous league championships. The club holds the joint-record for the longest uninterrupted top-flight streak in Turkish football history. Internationally, Fenerbahçe won the Balkans Cup in 1966–67, becoming the first Turkish club to claim an international trophy. In modern European competitions, they reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League in the 2007–08 season and the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League in 2012–13, further establishing their presence on the continental stage.

Fenerbahçe is also one of the most widely supported football clubs in Turkey, with millions of fans both domestically and internationally. The club has a massive social media following and maintains a dedicated supporter base known for its passionate atmosphere, especially in home matches at Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium. Alongside Galatasaray and Beşiktaş, Fenerbahçe is part of the “Big Three” clubs of Turkish football, with intense rivalries between these teams shaping the landscape of the Süper Lig. The club’s financial strength has played a key role in attracting world-class players throughout its history, with notable names such as Alex de Souza, Roberto Carlos, Pierre van Hooijdonk, and Dirk Kuyt having donned the yellow and navy blue jersey.

In 2008, marking their 101st year, Fenerbahçe reached a market value of $2 billion, surpassing Manchester United at the time to become the world’s most valuable football club.[9][10] The club also holds a Guinness World Record for having the highest number of medals and trophies across all its sports branches, with a total of 1134 cups and medals.[11][12] Financially, Fenerbahçe remains one of the wealthiest clubs in Turkey, generating significant revenue from sponsorship deals, broadcasting rights, and commercial ventures. The club continues to invest in youth development and modern facilities, with aspirations to maintain domestic dominance and achieve further success in European competitions.

History

[edit]

Establishing (1906)

[edit]
Ziya Songülen the Founder and first President of club

The founder and first president of Fenerbahçe, Nurizade Ziya Songülen, was first introduced to the football in England, where he went for higher education after graduating from Istanbul Saint-Joseph College in 1903, and was inspired by the football teams in this country, where the sport of football was born.[13] When he returned to the country in 1906, the first thing he did was to establish a football team in his hometown, Istanbul in June 1906. He first contacted his friends in the Kadıköy district and then Enver Yetiker, the literature teacher at the school he graduated from, and conveyed his intention to establish a football team to them and made them an offer. Nurizade Ziya Bey, who received a positive response to his offer, initially only went to training with the first Fenerbahçe football team in history, the prototype of which was created in June 1906. Because the team could only be completed as an 11-person team in the spring of 1907, the official foundation date of the club.[14]

Early years (1907–1959)

[edit]

Fenerbahçe were officially founded in 3 May 1907 in Kadıköy, Istanbul, by local men Ziya Songülen, Ayetullah Bey and Necip Okaner. This group founded the club secretly in order to keep a low profile and not get into any trouble with the strict Ottoman rule, so strict that the Sultan Abdul Hamid II forbade the Turkish youth to set up a club or engage in the game of football played by the English families that was watched in envy. The three men came together and concluded that Kadıköy was in desperate need of its own football club, where locals would get a chance to practise the game of football. Ziya Songülen was elected the first president of the club, Ayetullah Bey became the first general secretary and Necip Okaner was given the post of general captain.[15] The lighthouse situated on the Fenerbahçe cape was a big influence on the design of the club"s first crest, which sported the yellow and white colors of daffodils around the lighthouse. The kits were also designed with yellow and white stripes.[15] Founded by Ottoman Greeks, Strugglers F.C. played against Fenerbahçe in the final match of the tournament it organized in its name on 5 June 1910, and Fenerbahçe won the match 3–1, winning the first cup in its history. The crest of the club was changed in 1914 when Hikmet Topuzer redesigned the badge after Ziya Songülen had changed the colors to yellow and navy in the fall of 1908, still seen today. Fenerbahçe"s activities were kept in secrecy until a legislation reform in 1908, when, under a new law, all football clubs had to register to exist legally.[15]

The founding line-up included Ziya Songülen, Ayetullah Bey, Necip Okaner, Galip Kulaksızoğlu, Hassan Sami Kocamemi, Asaf Beşpınar, Enver Yetiker, Şevkati Hulusi Bey, Tevfik Taşçı, Hüseyin Dalaklı, Çerkes Sabri, Mazhar Bey and Nasuhi Baydar.[16] Struggling with financial difficulties, Fenerbahçe joined the Istanbul Football League in 1908, finishing fifth in their first year. The first coach of the Fenerbahçe football team was Enver Yetiker, a Literature teacher at Kadıköy Lycée Saint-Joseph, who also helped in the establishment of the club. Fenerbahçe won the 1911–12 season of the Istanbul Football League without losing. This championship was the club"s first success in their long history. In the 1913–14 and 1914–15 seasons, the team under the coaching of Galip Kulaksızoğlu won the Istanbul Football League. Fenerbahçe gained the sympathy of some members of the Ottoman Dynasty, especially the princes, after the successful results it achieved in the early years of its establishment. For example, General Osman Fuad, the grandson of Sultan Murad V, served as the honorary president of the club between 1911 and 1913, and Prince Ömer Faruk, the son of the last Ottoman Caliph, Abdulmecid II, became the president of Fenerbahçe until 1924, when the abolition of the Ottoman sultanate.[17] Fenerbahçe finished the seasons 1920–21 and 1922–23 as champions in the Istanbul Friday League. Fenerbahçe completed the season with a score of 58–0 without losing or conceding goals in the season of 1922–23.

Fenerbahçe played against the staff of the Royal Navy that occupied Istanbul during the Turkish War of Independence. Some British soldiers formed football teams that were named after the players" speciality, for example Essex Engineers, Irish Guards, Grenadiers and Artillery. These teams played against each other and against local football teams in Istanbul. Fenerbahçe won many of these matches.[18] The most known match played against the British was the match that would determine the winner of the General Harrington Cup. Fenerbahçe won the match held on 29 June 1923 at Taksim Stadium with two goals scored by Zeki Rıza Sporel, one of the important players of the period.[19]

Fenerbahçe won the championship 6 times in 1937, 1940, 1943, 1945, 1946 and 1950, and became the team that achieved the most victories in the Turkish National Division. Lefter Küçükandonyadis, one of the important names of Fenerbahçe, scored 423 goals in 615 matches between 1947–1951 and 1953–64. Fenerbahçe won the Istanbul Football League 16 times, the Turkish National Division 6 times, and the former Turkish Football Championship 3 times, all of them records, profiling themselves as forerunners and dominating side in Turkish football before the introduction of the professional nationwide league in 1959.[20][21]

Domestic dominance (1959–1969)

[edit]
Under the guidance of Ignác Molnár, the club won many trophies

The Turkish Football Federation founded a professional national league in 1959, which continues today under the name of the Süper Lig. Fenerbahçe won the first tournament, beating archrivals Galatasaray 4–1 on aggregate.[22] The next year, Fenerbahçe participated in the European Cup for the first time. They qualified through a 4–3 win over Csepel SC, being the first Turkish club to advance to the next round by eliminating its opponent. They lost their first-round match to Nice 1–5 in a playoff game after drawing on aggregate.[23] Fenerbahçe reached the quarter-final of the 1963–64 European Cup Winners" Cup where it was eliminated by MTK Budapest.

Fenerbahçe won four more league titles in the 1960s and were runners-up three times, making it the most successful club of that era.[24][25] Fenerbahçe was coached by Ignác Molnár at the time, a famous Hungarian coach who had introduced a new style of football in Turkey. Under his guidance, Fenerbahçe managed to eliminate English champions Manchester City in the first round of the 1968–69 European Cup.

Fenerbahçe"s Balkan Cup championship

In the 1966–67 Balkans Cup (a competition set up for Eastern European clubs from Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, Turkey and Yugoslavia that existed between the 1960–61 and 1993–94 seasons), Fenerbahçe won the cup after three final matches against Greek club AEK Athens, making them the first Turkish club to win a non-domestic competition. This success would remain unparalleled by a Turkish club until Sarıyer and Samsunspor won the cup many years later in the 1990s, when the competition lost much of its popularity.[26]

Interval and rebound (1969–2007)

[edit]
Didi coached the club between 1972 and 1975, winning eight trophies

The 1970s saw Fenerbahçe bring in the famous Didi as their new coach. Fenerbahçe won four more league titles, including a double with Cemil Turan being the top goal scorer three times. The 1970s also established a rivalry with Trabzonspor, where for almost a decade Fenerbahçe and Trabzonspor were competing with each other for the title. The 1980s saw Fenerbahçe win three more league titles. Under the guidance of Kálmán Mészöly, Fenerbahçe managed to eliminate French champions Bordeaux in the first round of the 1985–86 European Cup.[27][28] This victory marked a turning point as for almost a decade no Turkish club managed to get past the first round in European competitions.

Galatasaray and Beşiktaş dominated the Turkish League during the 1990s, combining to win nine out of ten titles. Fenerbahçe"s only Turkish League success during the 1990s came in the 1995–96 season under the guidance of Carlos Alberto Parreira.[24][25] In the 1996–97 UEFA Champions League season, Fenerbahçe completed the group stage with seven points[29] and, among others, defeated Manchester United 1–0 at Old Trafford, undoing the record of the English giants being unbeaten for 40 years in their homeground.[30]

Fenerbahçe won the league title in 2001, denying Galatasaray a fifth consecutive title. It followed up the next season with a second-place behind Galatasaray with new coach Werner Lorant. However, the next season did not go so well as Fenerbahçe finished in sixth place.[31] Despite this, that season is memorable to many Fenerbahçe fans due to a 6–0 win against arch-rivals Galatasaray at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium on 6 November 2002.[32] After firing Werner Lorant, the club hired another German coach, Christoph Daum. Daum had previously coached in Turkey, winning the league with Beşiktaş in 1994–95. Fenerbahçe brought in players including Pierre van Hooijdonk, Mehmet Aurélio and Fábio Luciano as a rebuilding process. These new players lead Fenerbahçe to its 15th title and third star (one being awarded for every five league titles won by a club).[33]

100th year celebration of the club

The next year was followed by a narrow championship over Trabzonspor, winning a then record 16 Turkish Football League championships.[34] Fenerbahçe lost the title in the last week of the 2005–06 season to Galatasaray. Fenerbahçe needed a win, but instead drew 1–1 with Denizlispor while Galatasaray won 3–0 over Kayserispor. Soon after, Christoph Daum resigned as manager[35] and was replaced by Zico on 4 July 2006.[36][37] Zico began his reign by signing two new defenders: highly touted Uruguayan international Diego Lugano and Zico"s fellow Brazilian Edu Dracena.[38] Zico also signed two strikers in Serbian international Mateja Kežman and another Brazilian, Deivid.[39] Fenerbahçe"s 2006–07 domestic season started with a 6–0 win over relegation candidates Kayseri Erciyesspor.[40] In the 32nd week of the Süper Lig, Fenerbahçe drew Trabzonspor 2–2, while Beşiktaş lost to Bursaspor 0–3, putting the former out of contention for the title.[41][42] Fenerbahçe won its 17th Süper Lig title in 2006–07.[43]

Modern era (2007–present)

[edit]
Zico coached the club between 2006 and 2008

On 11 January 2007, Fenerbahçe were officially invited to G-14.[44] G-14 was an association which consists of top European clubs.

Under Zico"s command, Fenerbahçe qualified from the 2007–08 Champions League group stage for the first time and went on to beat Sevilla to become a quarter-finalist in the 2007–08 season. Zico is also the most successful manager of the team"s history in the Champions League. After successful scores both in the Turkish league and international matches, Zico gained a new nickname from the Fenerbahçe fans: Kral Arthur (meaning "King Arthur" in Turkish).[45] In February 2009, Fenerbahçe became the first Turkish club to enter the Deloitte Football Money League.[46] Since 2000, Fenerbahçe improved the club"s finances and facilities, bringing world stars to the club such as Ariel Ortega, Pierre van Hooijdonk, Alex, Stephen Appiah, Nicolas Anelka and, more recently, Mateja Kežman, Roberto Carlos, Dani Güiza, Dirk Kuyt, Diego, Nani, Robin van Persie, and Mesut Özil.

In the 2009–10 season Fenerbahçe lost the title on the last matchday; Fenerbahçe players were told that a draw would be enough towards the end of the match only to find out that the other critical game went against their favour, as Bursaspor beat Beşiktaş 2–1 to win the title. Despite the title loss, Fenerbahçe ended the season with the most clean sheets (10), as well as the joint longest winning streak (8).[47] In July 2011, Fenerbahçe fans invaded the pitch during a friendly against the Ukrainian champions Shakhtar Donetsk. As punishment, Fenerbahçe were sentenced to two Süper Lig games in an empty stadium. The TFF later allowed those two games to be filled with spectators; men were barred, while women and children under 12 were admitted for free.[48]

On 29 October 2012, Antalyaspor ended Fenerbahçe"s 47-match unbeaten run in the Süper Lig at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium. Fenerbahçe had not lost a match at home since they were beaten 2–3 by eventual champions Bursaspor in week 22, on 22 February 2010. Fenerbahçe won 38 and drew 9 in the 47 matches they played within 980 days since 22 February 2010.[49] On 3 November 2012, Fenerbahçe pecked Akhisar Belediyespor to break a 181-day away jinx.[50]

On 2 May 2013, Fenerbahçe were eliminated by Benfica 3–2 on aggregate in the semi-final of the 2012–13 Europa League, one of the biggest successes in Fenerbahçe"s history in UEFA competitions.[51] On 28 June 2013, Ersun Yanal agreed to take charge of Fenerbahçe to replace Aykut Kocaman, who resigned in late May.[52][53]

Ersun Yanal"s appointment coincided with tough times for Fenerbahçe, who had just been banned from European competitions for two seasons over their alleged involvement in a domestic sports corruption scandal. Fenerbahçe, which finished second in the Süper Lig in 2012–13, thus missed-out on the 2013–14 Champions League, which it had been due to enter in the third qualifying round.[54] Fenerbahçe finished the 2014–15 season as runners-up, forcing the board of directors to undertake some major changes.

For the 2015–16 season, Fenerbahçe brought in Vítor Pereira as their new coach. Portuguese star Nani, Danish defender Simon Kjær and Robin van Persie were added to the squad to fulfill the club"s ambitions to be successful in the Süper Lig and European competitions. On 10 December 2015, Fenerbahçe played their 200th European game against Celtic.[55] On 12 October 2022, Fenerbahçe played their 250th European game against AEK Larnaca.[56]

When it was first founded in 1907, Fenerbahçe had a large squad. The first team captain of the Fenerbahçe football team was Turkish Naval School student Necip Okaner, the club"s 3rd founding member. The first goalkeeper of the team was Asaf Beşpınar, a student of Kadıköy Lycée Saint-Joseph. Galip Kulaksızoğlu, was the longest serving player of the original squad, spending 17 years at the club, retiring in 1924 after 216 matches.[57] Zeki Rıza Sporel and Bekir Refet, the first Turkish footballer ever to play abroad, were among the first products of the Fenerbahçe youth system. During his 18-year career with the club, Zeki Rıza scored 470 goals in 352 matches, or 1.3 goals every match, making him the all-time top scorer of Fenerbahçe.[57] Zeki Rıza was also capped for the Turkish national team 16 times, scoring 15 goals.

Cihat Arman, one of the club"s legendary goalkeepers, was given the nickname "Sarı Kanarya" (Yellow Canary) by the fans for the saves he made while wearing the "yellow jersey" in every match, and this nickname has become an icon of the club that has been carried to this day

During Uche"s career with Fenerbahçe, he won two league titles and became a fan favourite. More recently, Fenerbahçe have been the home to Brazilian-born Mehmet Aurélio who, in 2006, became the first naturalized Turkish citizen to play for the Turkish national team.[59]

Support

[edit]
Main article: Fenerbahçe S.K. supporters

Fenerbahçe has built a massive fanbase since its establishment in 1907, ranking among the most widely supported clubs in Turkey. Approximately 35% of Turkish football fans back Fenerbahçe, making it the most popular club in Istanbul and Ankara.[62][63] Their influence extends beyond Turkey, with passionate supporters in Northern Cyprus, Azerbaijan, and various Turkish diaspora communities. Thanks to the redevelopment of Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium, the club consistently boasts some of the highest attendance figures in Turkish football.

The club’s supporters are organized into various groups, including Genç Fenerbahçeliler (GFB), Kill For You (KFY), Antu/Fenerlist, EuroFeb (a group for fans in Europe), Group CK (Cefakâr Kanaryalar), 1907 ÜNİFEB, Vamos Bien, and SUADFEB. Beyond official fan organizations, numerous fanzines, blogs, podcasts, and forums are dedicated to covering Fenerbahçe.

Bonds with Other Clubs
[edit]

Fenerbahçe’s fanbase has formed friendships with other clubs’ supporters over the years. In November 2011, Genç Fenerbahçeliler developed a close relationship with Torcida Sandžak, the organized supporters of Serbian club Novi Pazar. During a Süper Lig match against İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediyespor, Fenerbahçe fans unveiled a banner that read “Kalbimiz Seninle Novi Pazar” (“Novi Pazar, Our Hearts Are With You”). Later, in a SuperLiga match against Radnički Kragujevac, Torcida Sandžak reciprocated the gesture with a banner stating “Sancak’ta atıyor, Fenerbahçe’nin kalbi” (“The heart of Fenerbahçe beats in Sandžak”). This friendship continued on 2 March 2012, when Genç Fenerbahçeliler and 1907 Gençlik members were invited to Novi Pazar for a match against Partizan. The 17 traveling Fenerbahçe supporters received a warm welcome from thousands of Torcida Sandžak members, solidifying the bond between the two groups.[64][65][66]

Rivalries

Fenerbahçe against Galatasaray in 1914

The Intercontinental Derby

[edit]
Main article: The Intercontinental Derby (football)

The Intercontinental Derby is the fierce football rivalry between Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe, the two most successful and popular clubs in Turkey. The name comes from the fact that Galatasaray is based on the European side of Istanbul, while Fenerbahçe is based on the Asian side, making it a continental rivalry. This derby is one of the most intense in world football, with both clubs having passionate fan bases.

The rivalry dates back to 1909, and over the years, it has been marked by on-field clashes, controversial moments, and incredible atmospheres. Matches between the two are always high-stakes, often deciding league titles or cup victories. Fenerbahçe has traditionally been dominant in head-to-head records, especially in matches played at their home stadium, Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium, while Galatasaray has enjoyed international success, winning the UEFA Cup and UEFA Super Cup in 2000. The rivalry is deeply rooted in Turkish football culture, with fans eagerly anticipating each encounter.[67][68]

One of the most unforgettable matches in derby history was played on 6 November 2002, when Fenerbahçe defeated Galatasaray 6–0 in a historic Süper Lig encounter. The match, played at Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium, remains Fenerbahçe’s biggest victory over their arch-rivals. This result became one of the most talked-about moments in Turkish football history, particularly among Fenerbahçe fans.

However, nearly two decades later, Galatasaray had their own historic victory. On 23 February 2020, during the 2019–20 Süper Lig season, Galatasaray defeated Fenerbahçe 3–1 at Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium, marking their first away victory in the derby in 20 years. This match was a monumental moment for Galatasaray fans, as they had not won at Fenerbahçe’s home since 1999.

Beşiktaş–Fenerbahçe Rivalry

[edit]
Main article: Beşiktaş–Fenerbahçe rivalry (football)

The Beşiktaş–Fenerbahçe rivalry is another major Istanbul derby, contested between Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe. While not as internationally famous as the Intercontinental Derby, this rivalry is just as intense within Turkey. Both clubs have large and loyal followings, with Beşiktaş fans known for their organized chants and intense stadium atmosphere. The matches between these two teams have historically been highly competitive, often featuring dramatic goals, red cards, and heated moments.

One of the key aspects of this rivalry is the contrast in club identity—Beşiktaş is often associated with a more working-class, rebellious spirit, while Fenerbahçe is seen as a wealthier and more powerful institution. Both clubs have multiple league titles and have had periods of dominance in Turkish football. The matches between these two teams are always filled with passion, pride, and sometimes even controversy, making them one of the most eagerly anticipated fixtures in the Süper Lig.[69]

Stadium

[edit]

Fenerbahçe play their home matches at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium, their own traditional home ground in the Kadıköy district of Istanbul, since 1908. Most recently renovated between 1999 and 2006, its capacity is 47,430.[70] The club"s museum has been situated in the stadium since 2005, after having been housed at a variety of locations.[71] Before Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium was built, the field was known as Papazın Çayırı ("The field of the priest"). The field, however, became the first football pitch of Turkey, where the first league games of the Istanbul Football League were all held successively. In 1908, local teams of the league needed a regular football field, so this land was leased from the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II for 30 Ottoman gold pounds a year. The total construction cost was 3,000 Ottoman gold pounds. The name was changed to the Union Club Field after the club which made the highest donation for the construction.

The Union Club Field was used by many teams in İstanbul, including the owner, Union Club (which changed its name to İttihatspor after World War I), Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray, and Beşiktaş. However, it had lost its importance when a bigger venue, the Taksim Stadium, was built in 1922, inside the courtyard of the historic Taksim Topçu Kışlası (Taksim Artillery Barracks), which was located at the present-day Taksim Gezi Parkı (Taksim Park). İttihatspor (which had close relations with the political Committee of Union and Progress), was forced to sell it to the state, in which Şükrü Saracoğlu was a member of the CHP government. Thus, the ownership of the stadium passed to the state, but the field was immediately leased to Fenerbahçe.

Later, on 27 May 1933, Fenerbahçe purchased the stadium from the government when Şükrü Saracoğlu was the president of Fenerbahçe, for either the symbolic amount of 1 TL or the worth of the stadium which was 9,000 TL. The name of the field was changed to Fenerbahçe Stadium, and this made Fenerbahçe the first football club in Turkey to own their stadium, with the help of the government. In the following years, Fenerbahçe renovated the stadium and increased its seating capacity. By 1949, Fenerbahçe Stadium was the largest football venue in Turkey, with a seating capacity of 25,000. The name of the stadium was changed once more in 1998, becoming Fenerbahçe Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium, named after Fenerbahçe"s president and Turkey"s fifth Prime Minister, Şükrü Saracoğlu. In 1999, the latest round of renovations and capacity increasing projects started. The tribunes on the four sides of the stadium were torn down one at a time, as the Turkish Super League seasons progressed, and the entire renewal and construction project was finalised in 2006, with the efforts of Fenerbahçe president Aziz Yıldırım and the team"s board of directors.

The first version of the logo that Fenerbahçe uses today was created by footballer Hikmet Bey in 1914. After the Turkish language was Latinized as a result of the Turkish Alphabet Reform in 1928, this logo was revised to its current formation

Fenerbahçe"s first coat of arms was the famous Fenerbahçe Lighthouse, which gave its name to the Fenerbahçe area in Istanbul"s Kadıköy district and was built by Emperor Suleiman the Magnificent in 1562, but the club, which was restructured in 1911, revised its identity and updated its crest of club in 1914 year. It was designed by Hikmet Topuzer, nicknamed Topuz Hikmet, who played as a right winger, in 1914 and had made as lapel pins by Tevfik Haccar Taşçı in London. The crest consists of five colours. The white section which includes the writing Fenerbahçe Spor Kulübü ★ 1907 ★ represents purity and open-heartedness, the red section represents love and attachment to the club and symbolises the Turkish flag. The yellow section symbolises other ones" envy and jealousy about Fenerbahçe, while the navy symbolises nobility. The oak leaf which rises from the navy and yellow section shows the force and the power of being a member of Fenerbahçe. The green colour of the leaf shows that the success of Fenerbahçe is imperative.[72] Hikmet Topuzer describes the story of the emblem as below:

After the change of the club"s colours from yellow and white to yellow and navy, it was an issue to create an emblem with our new colours. My friends left the design of this emblem to me. Firstly, I brought together the colours of our national flag, red and white. Then drew a heart shape over the red and gave it a yellow and navy colour, adding an acorn leaf that represents resistance, power and strength. I wrote the club name and foundation date on the white section. When drawing our emblem, I tried to give this meaning: Serving the club with dependence from heart. The design was favored by my friends and our new emblem was made through the guidance of Tevfik Haccar, who was in Germany at time. After the new alphabet was approved, the design was protected, but the club name on the emblem was changed to Fenerbahçe Spor Kulübü ★ 1907 ★.[72]

Since Fenerbahçe was founded in spring, the club"s colors were chosen as yellow and white, inspired by the yellow and white daisies blooming in the meadows of the Fenerbahçe district. The founding-president of the club, Nurizade Ziya Bey, designed Fenerbahçe"s first jerseys; he purchased sports products from the store of the famous merchant of the time, Frank Sugg, located on Lord Street in Liverpool, England, where he spent his education between 1903 and 1906 and was introduced to the sport of football during these periods. Fenerbahçe"s first jerseys that came from England were made of flannel fabric, long-sleeved and winter. The jerseys were causing problems for the players as the weather got hotter in the following days. For this reason, the club"s president, Nurizade Ziya Bey, went to the shop of the British merchant Baker in the Tünel district of Beyoğlu in 1908 to order summer jerseys for the team. Baker said that the jerseys to be ordered will not be available in time for the summer. Thereupon, he offered to give the yellow-navy blue striped summer shirts he had on hand. Nurizade Ziya Bey, who accepted the offer due to the lack of places where other sports products were sold in Istanbul and the summer heat, bought all the jerseys and decided that the team"s colors would be yellow-navy blue And with this decision taken in 1908, Fenerbahçe"s future colors were determined.[73][74]

The club badge for the 2023–24 season contains 5 stars to represent 28 championships as an act of protest against the TFF"s lack of recognition of the club"s pre-1959 titles. However, the Federation has not allowed Fenerbahçe to display the badge in league matches.

Dispute

[edit]

Pre–1959 Championship Dispute

[edit]
Further information: Turkish Football Federation § Non-recognition of past national championships
Turkish daily newspaper Cumhuriyet announcing the Turkish championship (Türkiye Şampiyonu) title of Fenerbahçe on 11 November 1933.
Turkish daily newspaper Cumhuriyet announcing the Turkish championship (Türkiye Şampiyonu) title of Fenerbahçe on November 1933.

Fenerbahçe is officially recognized by the Turkish Football Federation as having 19 Süper Lig titles. However, the club argues that its championships won before 1959 should also be counted as official league titles. Before the Süper Lig was established in 1959, Turkey had other national competitions, such as the Turkish Football Championship (1924–1951) and Millî Küme (1937–1950). These were the highest-level tournaments at the time, and Fenerbahçe believes that its titles from these competitions should be officially recognized. If accepted, this change would impact not only Fenerbahçe but also other clubs that won national titles before 1959. The club has submitted an official request to the Turkish Football Federation to acknowledge these past championships, arguing that they hold the same legitimacy as Süper Lig titles.

In April 2021, the headmaster of Galatasaray High School, Vahdettin Engin, as a historian, does not think it is right to ignore the championships before 1959 and only accept the championships from 1959 onwards.[76]

According to historians" analysis of the 2002 Turkish Football Federation Arbitration Board (tahkim kurulu) decision, which stated that the Turkish League Championships began before 1959 and the championships before 1959 cannot be left uncounted.[77][78]

Five-Star Dispute

[edit]

As part of this effort, Fenerbahçe has announced its decision to add five stars above its club emblem, symbolizing what it considers 28 national championships.[79] According to the TFF’s official star system, clubs receive one star for every five Süper Lig titles, meaning Fenerbahçe currently has three stars for its 19 officially recognized league wins. However, if its pre–1959 championships were recognized, Fenerbahçe would qualify for five stars.

Despite TFF not approving this claim, Fenerbahçe has unilaterally decided to use the five-star emblem on its jerseys, branding, and club identity. The club made this announcement after a meeting of its High Council Board, stating that it will not wait for TFF’s approval and will proceed with its own recognition of historical achievements. This move has sparked intense debate within Turkish football, as it challenges the federation’s star system and could set a precedent for other clubs seeking recognition for their pre-1959 titles. This dispute continues to be a major topic in Turkish football, with potential legal and historical implications that could reshape the country’s championship records.

Fenerbahçe to Play Without Stars on Jersey

[edit]

Fenerbahçe President Ali Koç announced during the Ordinary High Council Board Meeting that the club will temporarily remove the stars from its jerseys for upcoming matches.[80] This decision comes after the Turkish Football Federation established a commission to investigate the recognition of pre–1959 championships.

Koç stated that Fenerbahçe respects the process and will wait for the commission’s findings. Until a final ruling is made, the club will play without any stars on its jerseys, emphasizing its stance on historical championship recognition. This move is seen as a strategic decision by Fenerbahçe to put pressure on the TFF, highlighting its demand for equal recognition of championships won before 1959. The club remains firm in its belief that its 28 total national championships should be acknowledged in Turkish football history.

Fenerbahçe holds numerous records, most notably being one of the most successful Turkish clubs in history, with a total of 28 recognized national championships across different eras of Turkish football. They are the record holders of all national competitions, having clinched twenty-eight Turkish national championship titles, seven Turkish Cup, and nine Turkish Super Cup. Their trophy cabinet also includes the Balkans Cup, making them the first Turkish club to win an international competition. Their victory in the 1966–67 Balkans Cup made Fenerbahçe the first Turkish club to win an international title, solidifying their status as pioneers of Turkish football on the global stage.

Fenerbahçe has a storied history in European football, achieving several significant milestones. In the 2007–08 UEFA Champions League, they reached the quarter-finals for the first time, becoming the second Turkish club after Galatasaray to do so. In the quarter-final stage, Fenerbahçe faced Chelsea. In the first leg at Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium in Istanbul, Fenerbahçe secured a 2–1 victory.[85][86] However, in the return leg at Stamford Bridge in London, Chelsea won 2–0, resulting in a 3–2 aggregate loss for Fenerbahçe, ending their historic run in the competition.

In the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League, Fenerbahçe advanced to the semi-finals, marking their deepest run in European competitions to date. They faced Benfica in the semi-final. In the first leg in Istanbul, Fenerbahçe won 1–0. However, in the second leg at Estádio da Luz in Lisbon, Benfica triumphed 3–1, leading to a 3–2 aggregate defeat for Fenerbahçe, thus halting their progress to the final.[87]

In the 2022–23 UEFA Europa Conference League, Fenerbahçe reached the quarter-finals. They faced Olympiacos in the quarter-final stage. In the first leg in Piraeus, Olympiacos secured a 3–2 victory. In the return leg in Istanbul, Fenerbahçe won 1–0, leveling the aggregate score at 3–3. The match proceeded to a penalty shootout, where Fenerbahçe was eliminated after a 4–2 loss in penalties.[88] These European campaigns have solidified Fenerbahçe’s reputation as a competitive force in international football, showcasing their ability to contend with some of Europe’s elite clubs.

Since their inception, Fenerbahçe has completed over a century of seasons, with the vast majority played in the highest division of Turkish football, known today as the Süper Lig. They are the longest-serving club in the league and have played continuously in the Turkish top flight since its establishment in 1959. Fenerbahçe has won twenty-eight national championships across different eras of Turkish football, finishing first more frequently than any other team. Having finished second in numerous league campaigns, Fenerbahçe has consistently ranked among the top clubs in Turkish football history. Their lowest-ever league finish remains a rare occurrence, with the club being a dominant force for over a century.
