They are nicknamed as The Yellow Canaries and play their home games at Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadyumu in Kadıköy.

History

Ziya Songülen, Ayetullah Bey and Necip Okaner founded Fenerbahçe Spor Külübü in 1907 on Beşbıyık Street in Moda, Istanbul.. This made Fenerbahçe the second Turkish football club, after their arch-rivals Galatasaray SK, which was founded in 1905. The club had to be kept under wraps because of the strict Ottoman law under Sultan Abdul Hamid, where Turkish youth were not allowed to set up clubs or play 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 the General Captain. They didn't achieve any success until the 1912-13 season, when they won the league undefeated.
   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.
   The Turkish Football Federation founded a national league in 1959, which continues today under the name of the Turkcell Super League. Fenerbahçe won the first tournament, beating Galatasaray S.K. 4-1 on aggregate. The next year, Fenerbahçe participated in the UEFA Champions League for the first time. They qualified through a 4-3 win over Csepel SC. They lost their first round game to OGC Nice 1-5 in a playoff game after drawing on aggregate. Fenerbahçe became the most successful Turkish club of the 1960s, winning five out of 10 leagues. They were also runners-up three times. In the 1967 Balkans Cup (a competition set up for 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 matches against Greek club AEK Athens FC, making them the first Turkish club to win a non-domestic competition. This success would remain unparalleled by a Turkish club until Sarıyer G.K. and Samsunspor won the cup many years later in the 1990s.
   The 1970s saw Fenerbahçe win four more league titles. The decade also saw the first non-Istanbul club and a club outside of Fenerbahçe,Beşiktaş J.K., and Galatasaray S.K. to win a league title. Trabzonspor went on to win four titles during the decade. won at least two titles Despite this, that season is memorable to many Fenerbahçe fans due to a 6-0 victory against arch-rivals Galatasaray in Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium on 6 November 2002. After firing Werner Lorant, they hired another German coach, Christoph Daum. Daum had previously coached in Turkey, winning the league with Beşiktaş J.K. in 1994-95. Fenerbahçe brought in players including Pierre van Hooijdonk, Mehmet Aurélio, and Fabio Luciano as a rebuilding process. These new players lead Fenerbahçe to their fifteenth title and third star (one being awarded for every 5 league titles won by a club). The next year was followed up by a narrow championship over Trabzonspor, winning the then record of sixteen Turkish First Football League championships. 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 stepped down as manager, and was replaced by Zico on July 4, 2006. Zico began his reign by signing two new defenders, highly-touted Uruguayan international Diego Lugano, and fellow Brazilian Edu Dracena. Zico also signed two strikers, Serbian international Mateja Kežman, and another Brazilian, Deivid. Fenerbahçe's 2006-07 domestic season started off with a 6-0 win over relegation candidates Kayseri Erciyesspor. In the 32^nd week of the Turkcell Super League, Fenerbahçe drew Trabzonspor 2-2, while Beşiktaş J.K. lost to Bursaspor 0-3, putting the former out of contention for the title. Fenerbahçe won their seventeenth Turkish Super League title in 2007, the most in Turkey.
   Fenerbahçe started off their 2007-08 season by signing Brazilian international Roberto Carlos. The deal saw the defender come for free after his contract wasn't extended by Real Madrid. Young Turkish players like Gökhan Gönül, Yasin Çakmak, İlhan Parlak, Ali Bilgin, Turkish-English attacker Colin Kâzım-Richards, Turkish-Brazilian left back Wederson joined Fenerbahçe in the beginning of the season and Chile national football team captain Claudio Maldonado joined the team in January'08 transfer window.
   On 11 January 2007 Fenerbahce S.K. was officially invited to G-14. G-14 is an association which consists of top clubs worldwide. Fenerbahçe S.K. is the first and only Turkish club that have been invited to this association. On March 2008, Fenerbahçe's record application was accpeted by Guinness World Records Menagement Team, which envisages Fenerbahçe to have the most number of medal and trophy achievements on the planet with its 9 branches entirely, total of 1134 cups and medals.
   Under Zico’s command Fenerbahçe has qualified from UEFA Champions League 2007-08 groups stage for the first time of club's history and beat Sevilla FC to become a quarter-finalist in 2007-08 season. So far, Zico also is the most successful manager of team's history in the European arena.
   After successful scores both in the local league of Turkey and international matches, Zico gained a new nickname from Fenerbahçe fans: Kral Arthur (means "King Arthur" in Turkish). For the team's nickname King Arthur and his Knights.^{France-Presse} Since 2000 the arch-rivals Fenerbahçe S.K. improved clubs finances with facilities, bringing world stars to the club such as Kennet Andersson, Haim Revivo, Ariel Ortega, Serhiy Rebrov, Pierre van Hooijdonk, Alex de Souza, Stephen Appiah, Nicolas Anelka and lately Mateja Kežman and Roberto Carlos.

Historical players

When it was first founded in 1907, Fenerbahçe had a small squad. One of these players, Galip Kulaksızoğlu, was the longest serving player of the original squad. He spent seventeen years at the club, retiring in 1924 after 216 matches. Zeki Rıza Sporel was the first product of the Fenerbahçe youth system. During his eighteen year career with the club, Zeki scored 470 goals in 352 matches, or 1.3 goals every match. Cihat Arman became the first in a long-line of long-serving goalkeepers at Fenerbahçe. Cihat played twelve seasons with the club, playing in 308 matches. Another player, Can Bartu, became the next big Turkish export to Europe. He was also the first Turkish player to play in a European competition final, doing so with ACF Fiorentina against Rangers on January 1, 1961. Can also spent some seasons playing for Venezia A.C. and S.S. Lazio before returning to Fenerbahçe in 1967. He was a four-time league champion with Fenerbahçe and scored 162 goals in 330 matches.
In recent decades, Fenerbahçe have gained an influx of foreigners who have helped the club to a record seventeen league titles. Among these include Uche Okechukwu, who after 13 seasons with Fenerbahçe and Istanbulspor became the longest serving foreigner in Turkey. During Uche's career with Fenerbahçe, he won two league titles and became a fan favourite. In more recent times, Fenerbahçe has been the home to Brazilian-born Mehmet Aurélio (Marco Aurélio), who in 2006, became the first naturalized Turkish citizen to play for the Turkey national football team . Wederson (Gökçek Vederson), another Brazilian-born naturalized Turkish citizen, was added to the squad in the beginning of the 2007-2008 season and now plays for Fenerbahçe and the Turkey national football team.

Colours and badge

Since the club's foundation, Fenerbahçe has used the same badge, which has only undergone minor alterations.
It was designed by Topuz Hikmet (Hikmet Topuzer) who played left wing in 1910 and was made by Tevfik Haccar (Taşcı) in London. The emblem 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 middle section symbolises admiration and envy, while the navy symbolises nobility. The oak acorn leaf which rises from the navy and yellow section shows the power of Fenerbahçe. The green colour of the leaf shows the success of Fenerbahçe is imperative. Hikmet Topuzer describes the story of the emblem:

Rivals: galatasaray, besiktas, and trabzonspor but galatasaray and fenerbahce is the worlds 2nd best derbys althogh fenerbahce is slightly better than galatasaray accoding to the stasistics and the turkish football federation president hasan dogan explains fenerbahce is the best club in turkey and he supports galatasaray.
   The Fenerium store began as a lone shop in 1997 located beside the North East entrance of the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium. Today, fans would recognize that store as the "Little Fenerium" as opposed to the "Big Fenerium" on the other side of the club grounds.
   The brand "Fenerium" came under the spotlight in the 2000-2001 season as the sole kit provider for the entire club. Fenerbahce won a long awaited championship in the same season, ousting a legendary Galatasaray squad at the time. The Fenerium name grew throughout Turkey, and so did the technology. In the summer prior to the start of the 2003-2004 season, Fenerbahce sealed a deal with chemical giant DuPont, introducing a revolutionary fabric that allowed sweat generated from players to seep outside the jersey, allowing a comfortable fit through 90 minutes.
   At the start of the 2004-2005 compaign Fenerbahce inked a 4 year 'kit-only' deal with Adidas, leaving the Fenerium brand to supply the football squad with practice wear. Fenerium sold 1.720.000 items of merchandise to make 19 M US$ in gross revenue in 41 stores and 200 other outlets. The number of kits sold is reached 285.000 for the 2004-05 season, which marked a stepping stone for sales by any sport club retail shop in Turkey. Although there are no official numbers to date since the Roberto Carlos transfer, it would be safe to assume that these numbers increased 3-4 fold.
   Fenerbahce board member Nihat Ozdemir has claimed that Fenerium has become a "Money Making Machine" and has provided the necessary funds to complete non-football related projects such as schools, sports complexes, and sport academies for children. The Fenerium brand has become so successful and profitable, that the added revenue propelled Fenerbahce into a big player in the Turkish retail industry. With this high influx of revenue from Fenerium, Fenerbahce is now among the highest taxpaying organizations in the country.
   Today, Fenerium stores are scattered all over Turkey, and has begun to expand to many locations in Europe as well. In addition to these stores, Fenerium introduced a mobile store which is a Semi Truck full of Fenerium gear that travels with the squad to away matches. Its aim is to provide a convenient solution to Fenerbahce fans at these away fixtures.
   Fenerium has grown into a full fledged apparel brand, selling merchandise from baby clothing, watches, jackets, to slippers, towels, mobile telephones, shoes and much more. Fenerbahce's past footballer Nicolas Anelka's launched clothing line Nic39 and current star Stephen Appiah's charity organisation called StepApp Foundation's clothes also available at Fenerium stores.
   Fenerium stores have officially reached 67 locations in the month of April 2008, with new establishments in Batman, Ankara and Denizli.

Club’s Sportive Company

Fenerbahçe has surged past $1 Billion US Dollars in stock market value after just 4 years of trading. On 19 February 2004, Fenerbahçe floated 15% of the club on the stock market for a combined worth of $200 Million USD. The 5 fold increase since has taken the club value above that of many major corporations trading on the IMKB (Istanbul Stock Exchange).
In a statement issued at the IMKB, Financial Co-ordinator Abdülkadir Kuşin announced that Fenerbahce Sportive PLC shares reached 53 YTL (approx. £21,20 GBP; €29,81 Euros; $43,27 USD). This share price takes the club's current stock market value to just a fraction under $1,1 Billion USD (in February 2008).
