Founded in the city of Necochea, Argentina, and named after Fenerbahçe, the "Fernebahçe Sport Club" has reaped the rewards of its successful performance in local tournaments this season and reached the championship. Starting out with an amateur spirit in 2022, the yellow-navy team has brought their second trophy to their cabinet in a short time.
THEY RAN TO VICTORY WITH FENERBAHÇE PASSION
The club's name, colors, and striped jerseys were determined by drawing direct inspiration from the Fenerbahçe Sports Club. Their squad is extremely diverse: volunteer footballers from different professions such as carpenters, teachers, students, and couriers take the field. This amateur struggle, which rivals the professionals, is receiving great acclaim not only in Argentina but also in Turkey.
"FERNEBAHÇE WON THE CUP, WE ARE STILL WAITING"
While Fenerbahçe fans sent messages of support for Fernebahçe's championship, they also voiced their grievances toward their own team. Following the draw against Kayserispor, which diminished hopes for the championship, the yellow-navy fans showered praise on Fernebahçe on social media while also expressing their complaints about Fenerbahçe.
On social media, humorous and reproachful comments such as, "Our Ferne won the cup, the real Fener is still waiting," "Geography is destiny, but the cup went to Argentina," and "Ali Koç resign, let Fernebahçe give us their president" drew attention.
THE SECRET OF THE NAME 'FERNEBAHÇE'
The amateur club 'Fernebahçe', founded by a few football enthusiasts in Argentina, takes its name literally from Fenerbahçe. The story begins with an admiration for the videos of the "12 Numara" (Number 12) fan group of the yellow-navy club in Turkey. The name 'Fernebahçe' was created by combining the name Fenerbahçe with 'Fernet', a drink that is quite popular in Argentina. Furthermore, the team's logo and jerseys are identical to those of Fenerbahçe. The fact that the name of their fan group is "La Doche," meaning "Number 12," has become another point of interest.
