Fenerbahce were founded in 1907 and have since gone on to become one of Turkey's most successful clubs, as well as one of the best supported. Located in Istanbul, the club have played their games at the 50,509-capacity Sukru Saracoglu Stadium since 1908. The stadium was named after the fifth Prime Minister of Turkey, Mehmet Sukru Saracoglu, who was an avid fan of the club.

After Galatasaray, the club are the most successful in Turkey, with 18 Super Lig titles, six Turkish Cups, and eight Turkish Super Cups. In Europe, meanwhile, the furthest they have progressed is to the quarter-final stages of the Champions League. This came back in 2008 and they also reached the semi-final of the Europa League in 2013. The club were at their most dominant in the 1960s, when they won five league titles. The Yellow Canaries have never been relegated from the top-flight.

In the club's 106-year history, they have had an incredible 84 managers! Due to the affluence of the club they have been able to attract many high-profile managers; between 1990 and 1991, Dutch coach Guus Hiddink was in charge, whilst World Cup winning manager Carlos Parreira managed the club from 1995-1996. Continuing this trend, current head coach of Germany Joachim Low held the post from 1998-1999, whilst 2006 saw the arrival of Brazilian legend Zico. He was replaced in 2008 by former Spain manager Luis Aragones. 

Turkish midfielder Mujdat Yetkiner turned out for the club 763 times between 1979 and 1995, making him the club's all-time record appearance holder. Zeki Rıza Sporel scored 470 goals in 352 games for the club. Not only is he Fenerbahce's record scorer, but he is also regarded as Turkey's greatest ever striker. Notable foreign imports include World Cup winner Roberto Carlos, notorious French striker Nicolas Anelka, and flamboyant Nigerian midfielder Jay-Jay Okocha.

The club contest the Kıtalar Arası Derbi with Istanbul rivals Galatasaray. The two sides come from different sides of the Bosphorus straight; Fenerbahce come from the Asian side of the straight, while Galatasaray are located in the European side of the city. The clash is effectively a clash of continents and as a result the derby is a very ill-tempered affair. 

Violence is commonplace between the two clubs, but the violence isn't exclusive to the city; it spreads throughout Turkey, as nearly seven tenths of Turkish football fans support one of the two clubs. In all competitions there have been 376 fixtures held between the two, of which Fenerbahce have 143 wins to Galatasaray's 120.
