The Intercontinental Derby (Turkish: Kıtalararası Derbi), also known as the Eternal Rivalry (Turkish: Ezelî Rekabet), is the name given to any basketball match between Fenerbahçe SK and Galatasaray SK, teams of the Asian and the European parts of Istanbul respectively.

Fenerbahçe is the most successful of the two clubs, having won more head to head fixtures and having clinched more trophies in the past seasons, including the highest level tier of European basketball, the EuroLeague trophy, where the winners are considered the biggest team of Europe.

Seven years later, in 1911, Ahmet Robenson, a physical education teacher at a high school, decided to introduce a new game to the students.

The men's basketball department of Fenerbahçe was founded in 1913 and achieved considerable success when the sport established itself in Turkey.

[8] Fenerbahçe consider themselves as the pioneers of basketball in Turkey, boasting their success in winning more trophies in the past seasons, including the 2016–17 EuroLeague title, which is marked as the first ever EuroLeague title won by a Turkish basketball club.
