VakıfBank S.K.

VakıfBank Sports Club is a Turkish professional volleyball club based in Istanbul, founded in 1986 and counted among the best women's volleyball teams in the world. It was formed by a merger of two teams, VakıfBank, originally from Ankara, and Güneş Sigorta, and has carried several sponsor-linked names since. The club has won the FIVB Volleyball Women's Club World Championship a record four times and the European Champions League seven times, and it is the only unbeaten champion in the history of that competition. From October 2012 to January 2014 it held a 73-game winning streak across all official competitions, recognised as a world record by Guinness World Records, and in 2012-13 it won all five of its championship trophies unbeaten. Italian coach Giovanni Guidetti has led the team since 2008.
