Fenerbahçe greatly outshines other clubs in Turkey when it comes to trophies. Fenerbahçe Sports Club has won many trophies over the past century both in its current branches and those which have been discontinued. During the Turkish War of Independence, Fenerbahçe played with many teams of the enemy forces and boosted the morale of the Turkish people by winning those games. Fenerbahçe Sports Club’s football team holds many records that are yet to be broken. Success is not limited, however, with the football team. At the Olympics, the first Turkish gold medal outside of wrestling was won by a Fenerbahçe athlete, Ruhi Sarialp, while in athletics, Fenerbahçe is the only club to win the European Championship.
