Istanbul, Türkiye - The Fenerbahçe Leaders Association (FEBLİD), which brings the sense of belonging to Fenerbahçe together with an understanding of leadership, solidarity and social responsibility, celebrated its first anniversary with a special launch event held at Alan Kadıköy on the evening of Tuesday, November 3. The event reflected the shared values and culture of solidarity of the Fenerbahçe community. While the association's institutional journey and future vision were shared during the evening, the importance of carrying the Fenerbahçe spirit into the fields of education, technology and social benefit was emphasized. The Leader Generations Project, which aims to bring children in Anatolia together with artificial intelligence technologies, was also introduced.

In his speech at the launch, FEBLİD Chairman of the Board Galip Ölmez described the association's founding philosophy and future vision. Emphasizing that being a Fenerbahçe supporter is not merely a sporting attachment, Galip Ölmez said:

“For us, being a Fenerbahçe supporter goes far beyond love for a sports club. It is an expression of a strong sense of belonging, solidarity and shared values passed down through generations. When we founded FEBLİD, our goal was to bring this sense of belonging together with knowledge, experience and social benefit. We did not set out simply to come together, but to create value together. In our first year, while laying the foundations of our institutional structure, we also took our first concrete step toward our country's future with our Leader Generations Project. We believe that the leaders of the future are not raised only in big cities. Ideas that will change the future of the world can also emerge from a classroom in Anatolia.”

Galip Ölmez summarized their understanding of leadership with these words:“For us, leadership is measured not by position, but by the value left to the next generations.”

From belonging to social responsibility

Having completed its first year, FEBLİD aims to strengthen solidarity among Fenerbahçe-supporting business people and professionals from different fields, develop joint projects and turn its accumulated knowledge into social benefit.

Also reviewing the association's activities over the past year at the launch, Galip Ölmez touched on the steps FEBLİD has taken in its institutionalization process and its efforts to contribute to Fenerbahçe Sports Club.

FEBLİD's future vision includes developing collaborations among its members, as well as producing projects that can provide economic and institutional value to Fenerbahçe and expanding its social responsibility work in the field of education.

The first artificial intelligence library opened in Bucak

At the launch of FEBLİD, which continues its activities with the motto“We Lead with Our Colors” and brought together representatives from business, sports, science, the media and civil society, the association's work in its first year was reviewed and the Leader Generations Project, one of its most important goals for the future, was introduced. Inspired by Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's vision of reason, science and modernization, the project aims to increase children's access to emerging technologies in Anatolia and help them benefit more from the opportunities offered by the age of artificial intelligence.

The Fenerbahçe Leaders Association's first concrete step in the field of education was taken on October 22, 2026, in the Bucak district of Burdur. As part of the project, 5 HP computers, 5 desks and 5 chairs were provided to a school, creating the first artificial intelligence library. Not limited to providing schools with technological equipment, the project aims to create learning opportunities that support children in getting to know artificial intelligence, using technology consciously, and developing their research and production skills.

In her presentation at the launch, FEBLİD Board Member Pınar Özdalkıran shared the goals, scope and future targets of the Leader Generations Project. She stated that they aim for the first step taken in Bucak to grow into new libraries in different cities across Anatolia with the contributions of institutions, volunteers and supporters.

The special film“From a Spark to the Future,” screened at the event, also brought the historical and social background of this vision to the guests. Prepared with a narrative stretching from the educational ideals of the Republic to today's artificial intelligence technologies, the film highlighted the importance of equal opportunity in raising the leaders of the future.

A call for support for artificial intelligence libraries

One of the highlights of the evening was a call for support to expand the Leader Generations Project. FEBLİD Vice Chairman of the Board Berkehan Bulgurcu shared with the guests the donation and support efforts planned to bring new artificial intelligence libraries to life.

The project is expected to become a sustainable social responsibility model that will create new learning environments in different cities in the coming period.
