Fenerbahçe is one of the most successful and best supported football clubs in Turkey. They hold the record for the most national titles won, 28 in total, with 19 Turkish Super League titles, 6 National Division titles and 3 Turkish Football Championship titles. They've also got 26 national cups in the trophy cabinet. They’re based in Istanbul, the largest and most populous city in Turkey (population 15,519,267), and the country’s cultural, commercial and financial centre. What is interesting is that, in the Fenerbahçe academy, they use a lot of sports (not only football), for example judo and boxing. At the present time, the Turkish club is developing its academy and wants it to provide more players to the first team. Nevertheless, the club from Istanbul has a recognisable brand and in the past was able to sell its players to the best clubs in Europe. Looking at the current development of the academy and the population of Istanbul, it seems that the academy of this club should reach an increasingly higher level.
According to CIES Football Observatory, the percentage of minutes by club-trained players (i.e. those aged 15-21 at the club) is: 0.3 % (3 players) AVERAGE AGE 27.59 €1,325,000 WITH AN AVERAGE VALUE OF 29 PLAYERS IN THE FIRST TEAM players of which trained in the club (academy pupils) 4 VITAL STATISTICS *
