The 2014-15 campaign delivered a fierce title challenge for Fenerbahce, with the Yellow Canaries ultimately finishing 2nd in the Süper Lig under manager İsmail Kartal and securing a coveted spot in the Champions League qualifying rounds. The season was not without silverware, as the club triumphed to win the Turkish Super Cup. Leading the charge was the tireless forward Moussa Sow, whose 14 league goals (16 overall) proved vital, spearheading an attack that featured veteran Dirk Kuyt and new signing Diego. It was a demanding year that highlighted a strong defensive record and marked a period of transition as the club fought to stay at the top.
