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.
