Quote from flyingdutchman

You're right! Eda is one of the best MB worldwide, and she is only 23 years old

I don't understand Nihan is still Fenerbahce's libero, she is so bad player...Fener should have bought Gülden

I would like to see Merve Dalbeler in the our team.Merve will play in Galatasaray this year.

Fenerbahce Acibadem, on Monday will be the season's first practice.

Players who currently have Zülfiye,Fofao,Yağmur,Çiğdem Can Rasna,Nati,Songül,İpek and Ergül

The site of the Turkish team Fenerbahce Istanbul Acibadem warned yesterday that the club received an invitation from the International Federation for World Championships of clubs that will happen the day being December 14-21.

The news, still unconfirmed by the FIVB, is a surprise, since the women's tournament was initially released only with the participation of six teams.

Fenerbahce finished the last Champions League tournament ranked Italian team for the World of Bergamo, in second place, and the high investments for the club this season seem to have "weighed in favor" before the eyes of the FIVB. If the team's participation in Istanbul is confirmed, the team has come as a big favorite for the title, next to Osaka Sollys of Brazil, and Norda Foppapedretti Bergamo, Italy.

Hi Joana.

She wants to play in the national team and she would come to Istanbul in mid-November.
