Sturm Graz vs Fenerbahçe Timeline & Historical Context

The Sturm Graz vs Fenerbahçe timeline in European competition begins with their UEFA Europa League 3rd Qualifying Round tie in the 2017 season. On 27 July 2017 at Merkur-Arena in Graz, Sturm Graz hosted the first leg. Fenerbahçe claimed a 2-1 away victory, with the score 2-1 to the visitors at half-time and full-time in a match that immediately established their ability to get a result in Austria.

The return leg on 3 August 2017 at Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadı in Istanbul confirmed Fenerbahçe’s edge in that tie. The match finished Fenerbahçe 1-1 Sturm Graz in the UEFA Europa League 3rd Qualifying Round, with the home side leading 1-0 at half-time before Sturm Graz found a second-half equaliser. That draw meant Fenerbahçe advanced, and it set an early pattern of the Austrian side struggling to turn performances into outright wins against the Turkish club.

Their most recent meeting came on 5 August 2026, again in Istanbul, this time in the UEFA Champions League 3rd Qualifying Round at Chobani Stadium. Fenerbahçe, as the home team, defeated Sturm Graz 2-0, leading 2-0 at half-time and maintaining that margin through full-time.

They have already demonstrated they can win at Merkur-Arena and have maintained an unbeaten record in Istanbul, combining defensive solidity with efficient finishing.
