Fenerbahçe Spor Kulübü (Fenerbahçe Sports Club), commonly known as Fenerbahçe [pronounced fe-nehr-baah-che], is a sports club of İstanbul, 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, but 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. On October 4, 2006, after numerous inspections by UEFA, Fenerbahçe's stadium, Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium, was selected to host the 2009 UEFA Cup final.[1]
