The rivalry between Fenerbahçe and Trabzonspor is one of the most intense in Turkish football, marked by fierce competition and significant historical moments. The two teams first faced each other on 13 February 1974, in a Turkish Cup quarterfinal match at Trabzon’s Hüseyin Avni Aker Stadium, which ended in a 0–0 draw. The game set attendance and revenue records for Trabzon, highlighting the magnitude of the event as it was Fenerbahçe’s first visit to Trabzon. The return leg on 17 February 27 1974, saw Fenerbahçe claim their first victory over Trabzonspor.

The rivalry grew in intensity over the decades, often carrying implications beyond the pitch. Matches between the two teams have been characterized by high tensions, large crowds, and dramatic outcomes. One of the most pivotal moments in their rivalry occurred during the 1995–96 season when Fenerbahçe defeated Trabzonspor late in the season to take the league title. This match is remembered as a turning point for both clubs and is even referenced in popular culture, such as the film Yağmur: Kıyamet Çiçeği.

The rivalry became even more contentious in the 2010–11 season when both teams were locked in a close battle for the Süper Lig title. Fenerbahçe ultimately won the league based on head-to-head results, but the season was overshadowed by match-fixing allegations. On 3 July 2011, Fenerbahçe’s president Aziz Yıldırım was arrested and accused of match-fixing. The scandal led to Fenerbahçe being banned from European competitions for the 2011–12 season, with Trabzonspor taking their place in the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their history.

The legal battle over the allegations dragged on for years, revealing fabricated evidence and political interference. In 2015, courts acquitted all Fenerbahçe officials, ruling that the accusations were baseless. The case remains a controversial chapter in Turkish football, symbolizing the rivalry’s deeply rooted tensions.

Beyond the legal and historical controversies, the rivalry extends to the passionate fan bases of both teams. Matches are often heated, with incidents both on and off the field reflecting the animosity between the clubs. For fans and players alike, games between Fenerbahçe and Trabzonspor are more than just football—they represent pride, history, and a fierce competition that has defined Turkish football for decades.
