Fenerbahçe Quiz

Fenerbahçe were founded in 1907 in Kadıköy, on the Asian shore of Istanbul, and have spent well over a century as one of the great institutions of Turkish football. This free Fenerbahçe quiz covers the whole arc — from the Ottoman-era beginnings under founders Ziya Songülen, Ayetullah Bey and Necip Okaner, through the club's dominance of the Istanbul league and the professional Süper Lig era that began in 1959, to the modern sides that keep chasing an elusive league title. Few clubs carry an identity this vivid: the yellow-and-navy of the Sarı-Lacivertliler, the roar of the Şükrü Saracoğlu, and the badge worn like a crest of the city's Anatolian side. They are the Sarı Kanaryalar — the Yellow Canaries. If you bleed sarı-lacivert, this quiz is for you.

The defining moments come with dates worth knowing. On 30 October 1996 Elvir Bolić struck the only goal at Old Trafford to win 1-0 and end Manchester United's 40-year unbeaten run in European home matches. Under Zico in 2007-08 Fenerbahçe reached the club's first Champions League quarter-final, seeing off Sevilla on penalties before beating Chelsea 2-1 in Kadıköy on 2 April 2008 and going out only 3-2 on aggregate at Stamford Bridge. Then there are the legends: Zeki Rıza Sporel, the all-time top scorer with 470 goals; Lefter Küçükandonyadis, the 'Ordinaryüs' who scored over 420; and Alex de Souza, the beloved captain of 2004-2012 with 171 goals in 344 games. And always, the Intercontinental Derby with Galatasaray — a rivalry that spans two continents.

Expect questions on the transfers, the managers, the iconic games and the club records. You'll be asked about the record-breaking Süper Lig fee paid for Youssef En-Nesyri from Sevilla in 2024, the managerial merry-go-round from Zico to José Mourinho and Domenico Tedesco, and the count of Süper Lig titles — 19 in the professional era, the last of them in 2013-14. There are cult heroes to name, derby scorelines to place, and European nights to date. Difficulty climbs from gentle openers about the Yellow Canaries and their most famous No.10 to genuinely hard deep cuts about specific seasons, line-ups and long-serving squad men, so casual matchgoers at Kadıköy and stat-hungry obsessives both get a proper test.

Every question comes with a short explained answer, so even a miss leaves you with the detail that makes it stick — why Bolić's goal mattered so much, or how the pre-1959 championships fold into the club's honours.
