The name and jerseys of the club founded in the city of Necochea were designed with inspiration from Fenerbahçe. The Fernebahce Football Team, where every player has a different profession, competes in various tournaments. The team's goal for this year has been set as advancing from the amateur league to the local league.
Team player Tomas Domaica stated that the story of how the team emerged happened by chance, saying, "We had a group of friends who were all Fenerbahçe fans. When we got together, this idea came up and we started to move forward. Star players who played for Fenerbahçe, like Robin van Persie, made me a Fenerbahçe fan."
"The truth is that we love Fernebahce and we have a lot of fun. We come here and train very seriously," said Gonzalo Aguilera, the goalkeeper of the Fernebahce team, who also emphasized that the passion for football in Turkey is incredible.
Team captain Juan Cruz Moreno stated, "Being a professional football player at 29 was a dream. As you get older, the dream of becoming a professional moves a little further away. But we are ready, and if the opportunity arises, I will not shy away from any sacrifice for it."
Describing the bond between them and Turkish fans as "incredible," Moreno said, "Despite the distance, they made us feel that they are by our side. They take the time to send us messages, they encourage us, they follow our matches. This is how we take the field with enthusiasm."
