The Turkey women's national volleyball team (Turkish: Türkiye Kadın Voleybol Milli Takımı) is formed by the Turkish Volleyball Federation (TVF) and represents Turkey in international CEV and FIVB organizations.

The team is one of the most successful national sports teams in the country and has been nicknamed "Filenin Sultanları"[2] (English: Sultans of the Net) since the 2003 Women's European Volleyball Championship hosted in Ankara, Turkey. It is ranked first in the FIVB World Rankings as of July 2023. Daniele Santarelli is the head coach of the team.[1]

History

Sabiha Gürayman was the first Turkish woman to engage in the game of volleyball, which was introduced in Turkey in the 1910s. As a young woman Gürayman founded and played for the Fenerbahçe women's volleyball team, having previously played in the men's team of that club. Turkish women's volleyball has undergone a rapid transformation since the 2000s, achieving many successes at both club and national level.

The team won 22 consecutive games between June 29 and September 24 in 2023.[3] In that period, it completed the final stage of the Nations League, European Championship and Olympic Qualification Round / FIVB World Cup matches undefeated.

Due to the national team's recent successes, particularly since the 2019 summer season, women's volleyball has surged in popularity and is now among the most widely followed sports in Turkey.
