Fenerbahçe (Women's Football), is the women's football branch of Fenerbahçe S.K., founded in 2021.[2] The team plays in the Turkish Women's Football Super League.[3]

History[]

Founding[]

Fenerbahçe was founded in 1907 in Istanbul, Ottoman Empire, by Ziya Songülen, Ayetullah Bey and Necip Okaner. The club's name comes from Fenerbahçe, a neighbourhood in Istanbul. The name literally means "lighthouse garden" in Turkish (from fener, meaning "lighthouse", and bahçe, meaning "garden"), referring to a historic lighthouse located at Fenerbahçe Cape.

The women's football branch of Fenerbahçe was announced in 26 August 2021, with a note:

As Fenerbahçe Sports Club, we have accepted it as one of our duties to add value for the society we belong to. Now, as Fenerbahçe, we are taking another important step with this awareness and approach; We are announcing that we will take part in women's football. As Fenerbahce Sports Club, which joined forces with HeForShe to ensure equality between men and women and increase the participation of women and girls in all areas of society. We believe that our Women's Football Team will make our Club proud with championships and will set a good example for future generations.

— Fenerbahçe, [4]

2021-2022[]

First match and derby controversy[]

With a joint statement they made on 2 December 2021, Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray announced that they will hold two friendly matches between women's football teams with the support of the Coca-Cola Company in order to raise social awareness against violence against women.[5]

Matches between Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray are one of the biggest events in the country, and are called the Intercontinental Derby. The first match was held on 7 December 2021 at Galatasaray's Nef Stadium and was broadcast live all over Turkey. Fenerbahce left the match with a 7-0 win.

After the match, Fenerbahçe vice president Erol Bilecik, who congratulated the Fenerbahçe players in the dressing room, said in his speech, "It was a great game. You made us proud. Our men's football team scored 6 goals against Galatasaray on November 6th and you scored 7 goals against Galatasaray on December 7th. Mashallah." This sparked controversy, as Galatasaray fans started insulting Bilecik and Fenerbahçe female players and soon announcements were made from both clubs calling for the events to calm down.[6][7][8]
