Turkish football slang for Fenerbahçe S.K., one of Istanbul's biggest and most storied clubs. Fener is the shorthand fans use in casual conversation, on social media, and in trash talk — it saves syllables and signals you're an insider. The rivalry between Fener and Galatasaray (Galata or Cim Bom) is one of the fiercest in European football, so the nickname carries serious tribal weight in Turkey.
