Nurizade Ziya Songülen (1886 Kadıköy, Istanbul – 1936) was a great-grandson of Saliha Sultan. He was the founder and first president of the major Turkish multi-sport club Fenerbahçe SK, between 1907–08.[1] Ziya Songülen also played as a right back for the club. He graduated from Saint Joseph's College and bought the ground where the current Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium is located (then named Papazın Çayırı) for 17 Ottoman gold coins.[citation needed]
