Turkish basketball club Fenerbahce opened its EuroLeague campaign with a 78-68 victory over Virtus Bologna, according to Anadolu Agency.
In another opening-round matchup, fellow Turkish side Besiktas narrowly fell 96-94 to Valencia, marking the club's return to EuroLeague competition after a 13-year absence.
The close scoreline for Besiktas reflects a competitive return to Europe's top basketball competition, even as the result went against the Turkish side in its first game back on the continental stage.
Fenerbahce's win, by contrast, gives the club a strong start to its EuroLeague campaign as it looks to build on the result in upcoming rounds.
Both results form part of the opening slate of EuroLeague fixtures, with Turkish clubs continuing to feature prominently in the competition this season.
