As the first and oldest official Turkish sports club, Beşiktaş JK continues to provide  women with opportunities to engage in a variety of sports.
 
Beşiktaş Women's Fencing Team, consisting of Suat Fetgeri, Halet Çambel and Neriman, was not only the first of its kind but also won several championships in Türkiye throughout the 1930s. In addition,  they  represented Turkiye in the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games and  became the first Turkish female athletes to participate in the Olympic Games. Halet Çambel, who worked as a lecturer at universities for many years after leaving sports, is also known as Turkiye's first female professor.
 
Beşiktaş will remain committed to to train female athletes in its active sports on a competitive basis.
 
With this opportunity, Beşiktaş would like express its gratitude to women, who have been a driving force in Club’s history, for their contributions to Beşiktaş over the years. 
 
Happy March 8th International Women’s Day to all working women in Turkiye and around the world!
