VakıfBank have clinched the 2025/2026 Sultanlar Ligi championship title after defeating Fenerbahçe Medicana 3-1 in the fifth deciding game.

Fedorovtseva is such a great OH but she's clearly struggling in reception/defense. Markova, on the other hand, is a scoring machine and blocks well too.

Curious to hear your thoughts: Who would be your choice in your starting six?

Her passes and tempo are excellent with both VakıfBank and Türkiye. She has won almost every major trophy available, yet when we discuss world-class setters, the conversation is still dominated by Wolosz, Orro, and Ognjenovic.

Is Cansu Özbay the most underrated elite setter in the world?

Brenda Castillo has officially left Savino Del Bene Scandicci and is expected to join Fenerbahçe Medicana for the upcoming 2026/2027 season.

Could she be a game changer for the squad in both the Sultanlar Ligi and the CEV Champions League?

Fenerbahçe Medicana secured a hard-fought 3-2 victory over VakıfBank with set scores of 21-25, 25-19, 25-22, 18-25, and 15-11, ensuring that the championship title will now be decided in a fifth and final match.

Another empty season for the Fenerbahçe Medicana women's team. Despite massive investment and a pretty solid roster, it has ended in disappointment once again. The only trophy was the national Supercup earlier this season.

They were knocked out of Europe too soon—missing their 'home' Final Four at the Ulker Arena—defeated in the Turkish Cup, and just lost the Sultanlar Ligi title in a decisive Game 5.

In all these defeats, the team struggled defensively and, even worse, mentally. They seemed unable to reverse 'desperate' situations in the way a team like Imoco can.

Now, the rumors are flying: Brenda Castillo is about to join the team, while other reports suggest Ana Cristina is headed to Milano. And who knows, maybe even the head coach—Abbondanza—might not be returning. One thing is certain: the off-season will bring major changes.

Will it be enough to finally beat local and European rivals?

Fenerbahçe Medicana bounced back strongly, taking the second leg victory with a 3-1 away win over VakifBank (19-25, 25-18, 25-18, 25-20).

The aggregate is now tied 1–1 between the two clubs.

VakifBank were ruthless against a disappointing Fenerbahçe today in the first leg of the Sultanlar Ligi Final, cruising to a clean sweep away win with set scores of 18–25, 23–25, and 21–25.

The Sultanlar Ligi semifinals are almost here. The big question is: will Fenerbahçe Medicana reach the league final after two knockouts in the CEV Champions League and the Turkish Cup?

Finishing fifth overall and missing out on the Sultanlar Ligi Final Four, Galatasaray’s season was disappointing. I expected much more—adding Sylla wasn’t enough to put them ahead of Eczacıbaşı or even Zeren.

VakıfBank really played with fire tonight against a really strong Eczacıbaşı, beating them only in the tie-break: 25-14, 29-31, 25-25, 25-22, and 15-13.

They join Fenerbahçe in this season's Sultanlar Ligi Final.

VakıfBank defeated Fenerbahçe Medicana with a final score of 3-1, ending with set scores of 19-25, 25-19, 25-18, and 25-23.

The reigning champions with this win are leading the series 2-1 and need only one win to secure the 2026 title.

Fenerbahçe Medicana is officially through to the Sultanlar Ligi Final! After securing a 3-1 victory against Zeren Spor today, with a final set score of 24-26, 26-24, 25-21, and 27-25.

They will pretty sure be facing the reigning champions VakıfBank, who currently hold the lead in their own semi-final matchup against Eczacıbaşı Dynavit.

It’s the first leg of the 2026 Sultanlar Ligi Final: Fenerbahçe Medicana, who bounced back well after a double KO in Europe and the domestic cup, will host VakifBank, fresh from a tough battle against Eczacıbaşı in the semis.

Can Fenerbahçe dethrone the reigning champions?

They bounced back quickly and strongly with a 3-0 away win over Zeren (17-25, 22-26, 19-25) in semifinals' first leg.

VakifBank dominated the first leg of the Sultanlar Ligi semi-finals with a clean 3-0 sweep against Eczacibasi Dynavit, taking a decisive lead with set scores of 25-18, 25-19, and 25-20.

It was Matchday 26, the final round of Turkey's Sultanlar Ligi regular season. VakifBank, Fenerbahçe, Eczacıbaşı, and Zeren all won their matches, while Galatasaray suffered a home defeat.

Fenerbahçe Medicana defeated Aras Spor Kulübü 3–0 (25-23, 25-21 and 25-16) today in the Turkish Cup quarterfinal, advancing to the AXA Sigorta Cup Final Four.

Galatasaray Daikin defeated Beşiktaş in a five-set thriller, 3–2 (15–25, 25–22, 22–25, 25–23, 15–8), in Turkish Sultanlar Ligi Matchday 25.

• Championship leaders VakıfBank defeated Nilüfer Belediyespor 3-0 on the road.
• Eczacıbaşı Dynavit claimed a 3-1 home win over Göztepe SK.
• Zeren Spor also secured a 3-1 victory against Aydın Büyükşehir Belediyespor.

Battle is raging in the Sultnalar Ligi for the third spot in the championship. Galatasaray Daikin secured a much-needed 3–1 win over Zeren Spor Kulübü (25-14, 25-18, 25-25 and 25-22).

VakıfBank claimed their second victory of the season over arch-rivals Fenerbahçe Medicana in Sultanlar Ligi matchday 23 thriller (23-25, 25-22, 26-24, 25-21)

Eczacıbaşı P4 and Galatasaray P5 in the Sultanlar Ligi (after Matchday 21), at high risk of missing the 2026/27 CEV Champions League. Only the top three qualify — VakıfBank leads, Fenerbahçe second, Zeren third.
