The team is one of the most successful national sports teams in the country and is nicknamed "Filenin Sultanları"[2] (English: Sultans of the Net) since the 2003 Women's European Volleyball Championship hosted in Ankara, Turkey. It is ranked sixth in the FIVB World Rankings as of October, 2022. It was the bronze medallist in both 2011 Women's European Volleyball Championship and 2012 FIVB World Grand Prix. Daniele Santarelli is the new head coach of the team.[1]

History

Sabiha Gürayman was the first Turkish woman to engage in the game of volleyball, which was introduced in Turkey in the 1910s. As a young woman Gürayman founded and played for the Fenerbahçe women's volleyball team, having previously played in the men's team of that club. Turkish women volleyball has undergone a rapid transformation since the 2000s, achieving many successes at both club and national level. As a result, women's volleyball is one of the best followed sports in Turkey.
