Turkey experienced a right-left fight/clash, communism was a beast, and the Left thought of treason in Turkey. Those who were the right-wing (Conservative-Islamist Right, Nationalist Right) described everyone as ‘communists’ who were not right-winged, and left-wings (socialists) considered right-wingers as 'fascists.' In so much, street names changed because they evoke communism, and movies censored just because of some words such as the 'left,' 'public,' 'red.'(Yeşil Deniz, 2014) All these words are considered symbols of communism. The 1980s were the beginning of the neoliberal change in Turkey; the impact of football on people has been a prominent reality and is expected to continue. From this point of view, this paper will be focusing on whether Junta government policies used football as an instrument to distract society during the 80s.
