attachment to the club and symbolises the Turkish flag. The yellow middle section

Atatürk and Fenerbahçe
The founder of the Turkish Republic, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was a Fenerbahçe supporter.
On the 10th of August, after a 3-3 draw against Galatasaray in the Gazi Cup Atatürk
had three Galatasaray and 2 Fenerbahçe supporters next to him, where he was quoted:
"We are three on three here, because I’m a Fenerbahçe supporter too".
Atatürk has also visited the club and has signed the book of honour where he wrote
the following:
"I was informed of Fenerbahçe Club’s admirable activities and had made it a duty
of mine to visit and congratulate the club. That visit has fallen on this day and
I hereby record my tribute and congratulations." ® May 3, 1918 (3.5.1334) signed
by Army commander Mustafa Kemal
When the club’s wooden building at Kusdili, Kadiköy burnt down on the night of June
5, 1932, the first donation for a new building came from Atatürk.

A Legend (where the name of the stadium is coming from):
Şükrü Saracoğlu
Mehmet Şükrü Saracoğlu was a politician and was the fifth Prime Minister of Turkey.
He was born in 1887 in Odemis. Saracoglu progressed to being a teacher before graduating
from faculties abroad. Saracoğlu also became the Minister for Education in 1924.
Saracoglu was successful in every area in politics and was a valued statesman in
Turkey. He was also a keen Fenerbahçe supporter and was the president of the club
from 1934 to 1950. This made him the longest serving Fenerbahçe president. In 1953,
three years after retiring from politics, he sadly died in Istanbul on 27 December.
