One of the most
significant of shortcomings in the field of sports in Turkey is that the
History of Sports in Turkey is not preserved in its well-deserved place.
Although some research is being carried out by utilizing the limited resources
available, obviously no new data is discovered in this area. In fact, the
information accumulated via the oral narrative tradition till this day has lost
its validity for some reasons along the way; consequently,
alternative versions of the History of Sports in Turkey have evolved thus
emerged. In order to avoid such complications, this study seeks to reach out to
firsthand information and complements its data with references from the
newspapers and magazines of the early-republican
era. The study aims at revealing information about the Federation of Turkish
Training Associations (TİCİ, 1922-1936), the Turkish Sports Association (TSK,
1936-1938) and the General Directorate for Physical Education (BTGM,
1938-1983), which were established at various phases of the Early Republican
Era and in charge of the administration of sports. The study also aims at
indicating the relationship of these administrative bodies with the politics
and making conclusions by comparison. Leastwise, the study aims at making some
contribution to the History of Sports in Turkey particularly by means of
firsthand resources and revealing unknown political arguments.
