Fenerbahçe Spor Kulübü (Fenerbahçe Sport Club), commonly known as Fenerbahçe (IPA: [feneːɾbatʃe]), is a professional sports club located in Istanbul, Turkey. The team is based in the district of Istanbul named Fenerbahçe. The name of the district and the sports club derives from the lighthouse located in the district ('Fener' in Turkish means lighthouse, 'bahçe' means garden). The most popular branch of the club by far is the football team. The club also competes in basketball, volleyball, rowing, boxing,sailing,athletics, swimming and table tennis
Fenerbahçe's football branch currently plays in the Turkcell Süper Lig. They are nicknamed the Yellow Canaries and play their home games at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadyumu in Kadıköy. Fenerbahçe is celebrating its centennial year, as of 2007.
Official site writes Black Stocking FC (founded in 1899), Kadıköy FC (founded in 1902) and Fenerbahçe FC (founded in 1907) are same clubs, at least most of founders are same. However this information is unsubstantiated and unproved. On the other hand, a historian and journalist Selahattin Duman did a research on Fenerbahçe history in recent years. In his serial articles that published on SABAH newspaper, he states that there isn't evidence of Fenerbahçe before 1907, by no means. He also added that, this need of an older foundation date is because that rival clubs Galatasaray S.K. and Beşiktaş J.K. were founded before Fenerbahçe, in 1905 and 1903 respectively.
