Fenerbahçe Istanbul

Established (1906)

The founder and first president of Fenerbahçe, Nurizade Ziya Songülen, was first introduced to football in England, where he went for higher education after graduating from Istanbul Saint-Joseph College in 1903, and was inspired by the football teams in this country, where the sport of football was born. When he returned to the country in 1906, the first thing he did was to establish a football team in his hometown, Istanbul in June 1906. He first contacted his friends in the Kadıköy district and then Enver Yetiker, the literature teacher at the school he graduated from, and conveyed his intention to establish a football team to them and made them an offer. Nurizade Ziya Bey, who received a positive response to his offer, initially only went to training with the first Fenerbahçe football team in history, the prototype of which was created in June 1906. Because the team could only be completed as an 11-person team in the spring of 1907, the official foundation date of the club. "We were from Moda. However, since there was already a club named Moda FC, we naturally couldn't name our team the same. While thinking about what the name of the club we were going to establish should be, we suddenly saw the Fenerbahçe Cape and its lighthouse through the window of our house. At that very moment, we jointly decided to name the club 'Fenerbahçe Football Club'. Our emblem became the 'light-emitting lighthouse''
