"Yaşa Fenerbahçe" or "Viva Fenerbahçe" (also known as the "Anthem of Fenerbahçe" or the "Fenerbahçe March"; Turkish: Fenerbahçe Marşı), is the official anthem of Fenerbahçe.[1][2][3] The official recorded 1974 version of the anthem by Nesrin Sipahi is mandatorily played and sung in the home stadium before every match, regardless of the branch.[3][4][1] It was written by Fenerbahçe's former goalkeeper Fecri Ebcioğlu.
In 1974, Fenerbahçe had won four cups only in football, and many more in other branches. In honor of this, an official team anthem was recorded. It was mainly sung by Nesrin Sipahi, but the team coach Didi along with the 1973-1974 squad was also among the singers.[1][2][5] The anthem talks about the unmatched legendary status of Fenerbahçe, and some of its legendary players, with the line "Cihatlar, Lefterler, Canlar, Fikretler" being a reference to Cihat Arman, Lefter Küçükandonyadis, Can Bartu, Fikret Kırcan and Fikret Arıcan.
