What we will do in this experience

Football may reign as the most popular sport in Istanbul, but that doesn’t mean the city isn’t home to one of Europe’s best basketball teams. From humble beginnings, Fenerbahçe Beko has steadily risen to become a powerhouse in European basketball over the past decade. Now, you have the chance to witness this elite team in action at the iconic Ülker Sports Arena.

Our day begins a few hours before tip-off, as we gather in the surrounding neighborhood for a quick tour and introductions. After soaking in the local atmosphere, we’ll make our way to the arena and settle into our seats, warming up for the game just like the players. Once the whistle blows, the chanting begins—and it won’t stop until Fenerbahçe secures the victory.

Fenerbahçe fans are known for their unrivaled passion, especially when it comes to basketball. To truly experience this energy, having a local guide is key—and that’s where I come in. Before moving to the United States for college, I was a regular at Euroleague home games, witnessing all of Fenerbahçe Beko’s greatest moments firsthand. From the opening of our new stadium to the historic appointment of coach Zeljko Obradovic, and finally, the unforgettable 2017 Euroleague championship—I’ve been there for it all. I’m excited to share this incredible journey with you.

NOTE

If Fenerbahçe football team has a game conflicting with the Euroleague fixture, the football game will be prioritized. Football fixtures are announced much later than the Euroleague, so fixture clashes can happen even though it is not very likely.
