TUR W: „Yellow Angels“ are rulers of Turkey – Fenerbahçe claim 5th national title (VIDEO)

Fenerbahce

The fact that the 2017 CEV European Championship winners VakıfBank were only third and one of the richest clubs in the world and also record holders in number of home titles (17) Eczacıbaşı VitrA finished as fourth shows how strong Turkish League was in 2016/2017. This is why the fact that Fenerbahçe took their fifth gold medal (first after two years) in such a competition was quite a venture.

In the playoff finals, second seed’Yellow Angels’ swept city rivals, No.4 Galatasaray by 3-0 in the series, winning all games in straight sets. In Game 3, Fenerbahçe won by 25-20, 25-18, 25-23 thanks to 19 points from Brazilian Natália Pereira (awarded MVP of the League) and 11 from Korean Kim Yeon-Koung. A 30-year-old Seda Aslanyürek, former member and also a legend of ’Fener’ (wore yellow-blue jersey from 2005 to 2014) scored 13 for Galatasaray, whose advancing to the finals was an enormous success by itself.
