Fenerbahçe is a major sports club based in Kadıköy, Istanbul, Turkey, competing in the Süper Lig. Established in 3 May 1907 in the Kadıköy district of Istanbul, the club was founded by Nurizade Ziya Songülen, Şevkipaşazade Ayetullah and Necip Okaner. As one of Turkey's most successful football teams, Fenerbahçe has been a dominant force in the national league and has also left a mark in European competitions.

In its early years, Fenerbahçe participated in local football leagues in Istanbul, and in the 1908–09 season, it joined the Istanbul Football League, which held the status of a serious league for the first time. The first match identified to date is the one played in September 1907 against Cadi-Keuy AFC, a team formed by Englishmen in Istanbul. Nurizade Ziya Songülen—a founding father of Fenerbahçe who had witnessed football matches while studying in England—initiated the first steps toward establishing the club upon his return to his hometown of Istanbul in 1906, specifically in June of that year. The team began its first training sessions in June 1906 but was unable to establish a formal club organization until 1907, as it could not assemble a complete squad however, it finally attained the status of a full team in May 1907 with the inclusion of Turkish students from the Kadıköy Lycée Saint-Joseph. The club was among the founding members of the Süper Lig in 1959 and, alongside one of the three clubs that have never been relegated. Fenerbahçe has had a history of strong domestic performances, regularly finishing in the top three of the league and winning multiple league titles. Fenerbahçe has won the Süper Lig multiple times, with championship victories in 1959, 1960–61, 1963–64, 1964–65, 1967–68, 1969–70, 1973–74, 1974–75, 1977–78, 1982–83, 1984–85, 1988–89, 1995–96, 2000–01, 2003–04, 2004–05, 2006–07, 2010–11, 2013–14.

Fenerbahçe’s best European performances came in 2007–08, when they reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, and 2012–13, when they made it to the UEFA Europa League semi-finals. The club has also consistently performed well in the UEFA Europa League, frequently reaching the knockout rounds.
