Fenerbahçe SK reigns victorious in the Derby of Istanbul
Published November 26, 2021
Spanning two continents and years of bitter rivalry, the Intercontinental Derby (or Kitalararasi Derbi in Turkish) between Turkish powerhouses Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray is one of the most exciting soccer matches in the world. A story of social classes and unrivaled passion, this is no ordinary game for their fans, but rather a battle for control of “the city that is older than time itself.”
The first match between the two clubs was played in 1909, but it wasn’t until their infamous clash in 1934 that the rivalry between the two sides was truly born. Today, the biggest match in Turkish soccer draws millions of viewers and brings out the raw passion and emotion of their supporters. No matter what’s at stake, you can always count on every match between these two teams feeling like a final!
Last weekend, fans were treated to the latest edition of the Istanbul Derby — and what a game it was! Despite playing on their opponent’s turf and being down a man, Fenerbahçe still clawed their way to one of their most remarkable victories of the season thanks to a stoppage-time winner from Miguel Crespo! Fenerbahçe’s match-worn, signed jerseys from their historic victory are now available online on our platform!
