Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul has punched its ticket to the 2025 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Final Four in Abu Dhabi, marking their second consecutive appearance and seventh in club history. The Istanbul giants secured their spot with a commanding 3-0 playoff sweep over Paris Basketball, winning Games 1 and 2 at home and sealing the series on the road in Game 3.
This milestone places Fenerbahce alongside Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens and Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv with seven Final Four appearances, ranking joint-fourth all-time. Under the guidance of coach Saras Jasikevicius, the team is riding high after ending a five-year Final Four drought in 2024 and now aims to capture the EuroLeague crown in 2025.
Fenerbahce’s EuroLeague legacy includes their historic 2017 title, won on home soil in Istanbul against Olympiacos Piraeus. Despite falling short in the championship games of 2016 (to CSKA Moscow) and 2018 (to Real Madrid), the club’s consistent excellence—highlighted by five straight Final Four trips from 2015 to 2019 under coach Zeljko Obradovic—makes them a formidable contender.
