threats created by new entrants to the sector, substitute products and
competition existing within the sector. Within the increasing economic value of
sports, the share of the clubs is also increasing. As professional football
clubs are the biggest part of Turkish sports economic with its external
circumstances, they are chosen for this study. The main research question of
the study is finding out the factors influencing competition in Turkish sport
sector. Qualitative method was used for document analyzing and in-depth
interviews. The results show that besides football federation, the competitive
ability of the sports clubs mostly depends on the government’s decisions in
Turkey. Considering the increasing income of sports clubs such as sponsorship
and donations, sports clubs have to look at the competition structure from a
strategic perspective thus they can manage these increasing revenues and
sources professionally. Sports clubs miss out on some competitive advantages if
they do not make long-term agreements. These advantages have been assessed at
the level of factors identified by Porter.
