The Turkey women's national volleyball team (Turkish: Türkiye Kadın Voleybol Milli Takımı) is formed by the Turkish Volleyball Federation (TVF) and represents Turkey in international CEV and FIVB organizations.

The team is one of the most successful national sports teams in the country and is nicknamed "Filenin Sultanları"[1] (English: Sultans of the Net) since the 2003 Women's European Volleyball Championship hosted in Ankara, Turkey. It is ranked 4th in the FIVB World Rankings as of August, 2021. It was the bronze medallist in both 2011 Women's European Volleyball Championship and 2012 FIVB World Grand Prix. Giovanni Guidetti is the current head coach of the team.

History[]

Sabiha Gürayman was the first Turkish woman to engage in the game of volleyball, which was introduced in Turkey in the 1910s. As a young woman Gürayman played for the Fenerbahçe men's volleyball team. Turkish women volleyball has undergone a rapid transformation since the 2000s, achieving many successes at both club and national level. As a result, women volleyball is one of the best followed sports in Turkey.
