ABSTRACT Since Islamist-conservative Recep Tayyip Erdoğan took over power in Turkey, the country has gone through a massive social transformation. Football, the quintessential form of entertainment in Turkey which has always had its ties with politics, has also been affected by this change. Especially after the Gezi Protests, in which the supporters of three major Istanbul clubs participated, to express their discontent over Erdoğan’s autocratic tendencies and interventions on secular lifestyles, the ruling party’s intervention in football accelerated. The new regime employed heavy policing, a controversial e-ticket scheme, and criminal court cases to suppress dissent in the stadiums, and also sponsored two pro-regime teams of its own that reached success but not popularity. The regime’s every move concerning football has been contested by the middle-class, secular football fans of Istanbul’s pro-opposition neighbourhoods. This paper discusses the historical and sociological origins of Erdoğan’s recurring defeats in the football field versus Stambulite fans.

埃尔多安政权期间土耳其足球

摘要自伊斯兰保守派Recep TayyipErdoğan接管土耳其以来，该国经历了大规模的社会转型。足球是土耳其一直以来与政治联系在一起的一种典型的娱乐方式，它也受到了这一变化的影响。特别是在三个主要伊斯坦布尔俱乐部的支持者参加的“盖茨抗议”之后，他们对埃尔多安的专制倾向和世俗生活方式的干预表示不满，执政党对足球的干预也加速了。新政权采用严厉的治安，有争议的电子客票计划和刑事法院案件来压制体育场内的异议，并且还赞助了两个自己的亲政权球队，但都取得了成功，但没有受到欢迎。该政权关于足球的一举一动都受到伊斯坦布尔反对派邻里社区的中产阶级，世俗足球迷的质疑。本文讨论了埃尔多安（Erdoğan）在足球场上与斯坦布利特（Sambulite）球迷反复失利的历史和社会学渊源。
