Domestically, Fenerbahçe won a record 21 Turkish championship titles (3 in the former Turkish Women's Basketball Championship and 18 in the Turkish Women's League), a record 14 Turkish Cups, and a record 12 Turkish Super Cups, among others. The team play their matches at the club's own 2,500-seat Metro Enerji Sports Hall.[3] [4]
