The Intercontinental Derby () is any women's football match between rivals Fenerbahçe SK and Galatasaray SK. It originates in the equivalent men's football rivalry, though does not share the same history.
After Beà Âiktaà  won the 2020âÂÂ21 Turkish Women's Football League, the boards of Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray accelerated their efforts during the summer to establish women's football teams. During this period, the Turkish Football Federation president Nihat ÃÂzdemir also announced initiatives aimed at developing women's football in the country and enabling female referees to officiate in the Süper Lig. With Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray taking steps to form women's teams, followed by several other Süper Lig clubs, efforts towards the growth of women's football in Turkey gained significant momentum.
On 2 December 2021, the boards of Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray released a joint statement announcing that, with the support of The Coca-Cola Company, two friendly matches would be played between their women's football teams to raise social awareness against violence towards women. The first match was played on 7 December 2021 at the Nef Stadium and was broadcast live on FB TV, GS TV, and TRT Spor. Fenerbahçe won the match 7âÂÂ0. During the friendly match, Fenerbahçe players displayed banners against gender-based violence before entering the pitch with each substitution. The second match, planned to be played in February at à Âükrü SaracoÃÂlu Stadium, was not played.
In the 2021âÂÂ22 Turkish Women's Football Super League season, the two archrivals competed in separate groups and therefore did not face each other. In the 2022âÂÂ23 season, they were placed in the same group. The teams met for the first time in an official match during the second week of the season, in a league fixture hosted by Fenerbahçe at the Beylerbeyi 75. Yñl Stadium. Galatasaray won the match 3âÂÂ2, becoming the first side to claim victory in an official derby. In the return fixture of week 11, hosted at Galatasaray's Florya Metin Oktay Facilities, the yellow-red side won again with a 2âÂÂ0 scoreline.
