Fenerbahçe was founded in 1907 in Istanbul, Ottoman Empire, by Ziya Songülen, Ayetullah Bey and Necip Okaner. The club's name comes from Fenerbahçe, a neighbourhood in Istanbul. The name literally means "lighthouse garden" in Turkish (from fener, meaning "lighthouse", and bahçe, meaning "garden"), referring to a historic lighthouse located at Fenerbahçe Cape.

Women's football in Turkey saw the establishment of the Women's League in 1994 with the participation of 12 clubs.

On 4 April 1995, Fenerbahçe S.K. formed their women's football team under the leadershipo of board member Mehmet Ali Aydınlar.

== 2021–22: First season ==

=== First match and derby controversy ===

With a joint statement they made on 2 December 2021, Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray, the two archrivals, announced that they will hold two friendly matches between women's football teams in order to raise social awareness about violence against women.{{Cite web |title=Fenerbahçe ve Galatasaray kadın futbol takımları, kadına şiddete karşı toplumsal farkındalık yaratmak amacıyla hazırlık maçı yapıyor |url=https://www.fenerbahce.org/haberler/futbol-kadin/2021/12/fenerbahce-ve-galatasaray-kadin-futbol-takimlari-kadina-siddete-karsi-toplumsal-farkindalik-yaratma}} Any match between Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray is one of the biggest events in the country, called the Intercontinental Derby.

The first match was held on 7 December 2021 at Galatasaray's Nef Stadium and was broadcast live all over Turkey. Fenerbahçe left the match with a convincing 7–0 win.{{Cite news |date=7 November 2021 |title=Fenerbahçe Kulübü Başkan Vekili Erol Bilecik'ten Galatasaraylıları kızdıran sözler!

His speech sparked controversy, as Galatasaray fans started insulting Bilecik and Fenerbahçe female players and soon announcements were made from both clubs calling for the events to calm down.{{Cite web |last=fanatik |title=Fenerbahçe Başkan Vekili Erol Bilecik, cincon dedi, Galatasaray... |url=https://www.fanatik.com.tr/fenerbahce-baskan-vekili-erol-bilecik-cincon-dedi-galatasaray-taraftari-cildirdi-2254976 |access-date=2021-12-07 |website=Fanatik|date=7 December 2021 }}{{Cite web |last=Sporx |date=2021-12-07 |title=Fenerbahçeli yöneticiden 7–0 sonrası gönderme: 'Cincon' |url=https://www.sporx.com/fenerbahceli-yoneticiden-7-0-sonrasi-gonderme-cincon-SXHBQ952246SXQ |access-date=2021-12-07 |website=Sporx |language=tr-TR}} The second match was cancelled after Galatasaray backed down.

=== Participation in the league ===

After the re-establishment, Fenerbahçe took part in Group A of the 2021–22 Women's Super League in its first season. The team completed its group as the leader and participated in the play-offs with the first 4 teams in the group and eliminated Hakkarigücü SK in the play-off quarter-finals. In the semi-finals, the team was eliminated by Fatih Karagümrük.

As a result of the name sponsorship agreement made with Petrol Ofisi before the 2022–23 season, the name of the team was changed to Fenerbahçe Petrol Ofisi Women's Football Team.

Stadium

The team plays their home matches at the club's Fenerbahçe Lefter Küçükandonyadis Sports Complex, also called as Fenerbahçe Dereağzı Facility in Kadıköy.
