Özet:

 The purpose of this research is to examine the dispute situations of professional athletes social security rights according to labor and social security law within the scope of the Supreme Court decisions. Document review technique, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the research. In the study, data obtained from the synergy jurisprudence program regarding labor and social security law between 1974 and 2024; Supreme Court decisions were examined. The Supreme Court decisions were classified according to subject, party to the case and decision result rejection, approval, reversal, non-prosecution, etc. and their frequencies and percentages were found. By associating the Supreme Court decisions with the relevant legislation, sample decisions suitable for each type of dispute were analyzed. In the Supreme Court decisions, the decisions were generally overturned in favor of the athletes. The Supreme Court, which is the highest decision-making authority, partially resolved the grievances of the athletes. As a result, it has been observed that professional football players resort to litigation more often and that arbitration and legislative regulations are insufficient. It has been determined that professional athletes playing basketball resort to litigation less than football players. Not including athletes within the scope of the Labor Law creates a gap for our country. The lack of protective regulations within the scope of athletes social security rights causes athletes to access their rights late in long-lasting litigation processes.

 Bu araştırmanın amacı, profesyonel sporcuların sosyal güvenlik haklarının, iş ve sosyal güvenlik hukukuna göre uyuşmazlık durumlarını Yargıtay kararları kapsamında incelemektir. Araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden, doküman incelemesi tekniği kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada, sinerji içtihat programından elde edilen, iş ve sosyal güvenlik hukuku ile ilgili 1974-2024 yılları arasında olan Yargıtay kararları incelenmiştir. Yargıtay kararları konu, dava tarafı ve karar sonucuna göre red, onama, bozma, takipsizlik vb. sınıflandırılarak frekans ve yüzdelikleri bulunmuştur. Yargıtay kararları ilgili mevzuat ile ilişkilendirilerek her uyuşmazlık türüne uygun örnek kararlar analiz edilmiştir. Yargıtay kararlarında genellikle sporcular lehine kararlar bozulmuştur. En üst karar merci olan Yargıtay, sporcuların mağduriyetlerini kısmen gidermiştir. Sonuç olarak, futbol oynayan profesyonel sporcuların daha çok dava yoluna başvurduğu, tahkim yolunun ve mevzuat düzenlemelerinin yetersiz kaldığı görülmüştür. Basketbol oynayan profesyonel sporcuların futbol branşına göre daha az dava yoluna başvurduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sporcuların İş Kanunu kapsamına alınmaması ülkemiz için boşluk yaratmaktadır. Sporcuların sosyal güvenlik hakları kapsamında, koruyucu düzenlemelerin olmaması, uzun süren dava süreçlerinde, sporcuların haklarına geç ulaşmasına neden olmaktadır.
