UEFA SIRALAMASINDA YER ALAN 5 BÜYÜK FUTBOL KULÜBÜNÜN FİNANSAL PERFORMANSININ KARŞILAŞTIRMALI ANALİZİ

Öz

Dünyada futbolun sanayileşmesi ile birlikte kulüplerin sadece sportif başarıları değil, finansal performansları da tartışma konusu olmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, UEFA sıralamasında yer alan 5 büyük futbol kulübünün finansal performanslarını gri ilişkisel analiz yöntemi (GRA) ile karşılaştırmaktır. Bu amaçla, kulüplerin likidite, kısa-vadeli finansal yükümlülük ve karlılık oranları kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada kullanılan 2015-2019 verileri kulüplerin internet sitelerinden ve faaliyet raporlarından elde edilmiştir. Araştırmada, en yüksek finansal performansı Manchester City FC'nin, en düşük performansı ise Juventus FC'nin gösterdiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca likidite ve kısa vadeli yükümlülük/özkaynak oranlarının bir futbol kulübünün finansal performansını ölçmede en önemli göstergeler olduğu bulunmuştur.
