Özet:

 The aim of this study is to evaluate football fan groups in Turkey in terms of their characteristics as civil society organizations and to reveal their current situation. The research seeks to analyze football fandom, which influences large audiences in Turkey, and the fan organizations that have emerged in this context, from a civil society perspective. It also focuses on the social power of football in Turkey and the fan formations that have developed accordingly. It has been observed that football fans in Turkey are undergoing a new phase of national reorganization but have not yet succeeded in forming a strong union around a common goal. The All Football Fans Federation, established on 01.04.2012, continues its efforts to ensure nationwide representation. This study was conducted using a qualitative research method. Data obtained through face-to-face interviews with experts were evaluated by the researcher. The interviews were recorded using a voice recorder, key points were noted, and the data were analyzed using the expert interview analysis method. The findings may serve as a guide for public authorities to better understand fan culture, anticipate possible reactions, and gain insight into fan expectations. Furthermore, one of the main objectives of the study is to help fan groups acquire modern observation and reactive behavior skills, similar to examples seen in Europe. Experts believe that uniting fan groups under a single umbrella organization would contribute to representation and decision-making processes.

 Bu araştırmanın amacı, Türkiyedeki futbol taraftar gruplarının sivil toplum kuruluşu niteliği açısından değerlendirilmesi ve mevcut durumlarının ortaya konulmasıdır. Çalışma, Türkiyede geniş kitleleri etkileyen futbol taraftarlığını ve bu bağlamda oluşan taraftar organizasyonlarını inceleyerek, bu yapıların sivil toplum perspektifinden hangi noktaya geldiğini analiz etmeyi hedeflemiştir. Ayrıca, futbolun Türkiyedeki sosyal gücü ve buna bağlı olarak gelişen taraftar oluşumları da araştırmanın temel odak noktalarındandır. Türkiyede futbol taraftarlarının ulusal çapta yeni bir yapılanma sürecinde olduğu ve şimdiye dek ortak bir amaç etrafında güçlü bir birlik oluşturamadıkları gözlemlenmiştir. 01.04.2012 tarihinde kurulan Tüm Futbol Taraftarları Federasyonu, ülke genelinde temsiliyetin sağlanması adına çalışmalar sürdürmektedir. Nitel araştırma yöntemiyle gerçekleştirilen bu çalışmada, uzman kişilerle yüzyüze yapılan mülakatlardan elde edilen veriler araştırmacı tarafından değerlendirilmiş; görüşmeler, ses kayıt cihazı kullanılarak kaydedilmiş ve öne çıkan noktalar not edilerek Uzmanlarla mülakat analiz yöntemi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, kamu otoritelerinin taraftar kültürünü daha iyi anlamaları, olası tepkileri öngörebilmeleri ve taraftarların beklentilerine dair bilgi edinmeleri açısından yol gösterici olabilir. Ayrıca, taraftar gruplarına modern izleme ve tepkisel davranış becerileri kazandırmak, Avrupadaki örneklerde olduğu gibi çalışmanın temel hedeflerindendir. Uzmanlar, taraftar gruplarının tek çatı altında toplanmasının temsiliyet ve karar süreçlerine katkı sağlayacağı görüşündedir.
