The team that had President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan as a captain in the 1970s, advanced to the finals in the competition after beating Wales' AHK-B in the quarter finals and England's HMS in the semi finals.

In the final match, the Istanbul team defeated German Greenefte 3-0 to be crowned the winners.
