“…The fact remains that patriarchal values and thoughts such as 'football is the sport of men' or 'football is a man thing' have led to make it hard and fragile for women to be part of the 'game', to be accepted and empowered because of the historical, socio-cultural, and institutional barriers in football in Turkey. These gendered barriers and codes have been leading women to stay on the periphery or to be alienated from the football field (Öztürk & Koca, 2018). Consequently, we can say that it is still tough for women to crack the door open, come on in, play the game, and get empowered by football in Turkey.…”

“…In their findings, the basic necessities such as restrooms, showers, and lockers generally were not available for women players in the facilities. Another study by Öztürk and Koca (2018) in Turkey shows close results that women have restricted space in clubhouses, limited transportation, equipment, and uniforms. Also, Emessine's expressions about discriminatory training schedule are very similar with English women football players.…”

The aim of this qualitative research was to investigate the experiences of women football players in Turkey in terms of Eccles’ expectancy-value theory within a gender stereotypes perspective. A phenomenological method was used to allow a deeper understanding of their experiences. The research group of the research consisted of eight women from three different football league levels in Istanbul, Turkey. Based on semi-structured interviews conducted with eight players, the data were analyzed by thematic analysis. The identified themes after content analysis are: (1) loving football; (2) instrumentality of football; (3) socio-cultural barriers against women players; (4) multidimensional perceived costs. According to these findings, we can illustrate that the social, cultural and institutional environment of the women players creates many problems, difficulties, and deprivations in their participation, which have negative influences on their expectancy for success, task values, and future plans in their sports.

“…Onun vesilesiyle bütün kuzenler tabii 5-6 yaşımızdan beri Beşiktaş'ı tutuyoruz'. Bourdieu'nun temel kavramlarından birisi olan habitusu yetişme sürecinde öğrenilenler (Öztürk ve Koca, 2018) olarak değerlendirdiğimizde aileden gelen yatkınlığın taraftarların habitusları için önemli olduğunu görebiliyoruz.…”

“…Ancak futbolu yalnızca insanların severek izlediği bir spor olarak düşünmek pek çok şeyi gözden kaçırmak anlamına gelir. Futbol popüler bir spor dalı olmasının yanı sıra, aynı zamanda cinsiyetlendirilmiş bir alandır (Meier vd., 2017;Öztürk ve Koca, 2018). Futbolun tarihsel, kültürel ve sayısal olarak erkeklerin hakimiyetinde olması (Koca, 2012), futbolun belki de sporlar içinde doğal olarak erkeklere ait sayılan en önemli alanlardan birisi olmasını sağlamıştır (Hacısoftaoğlu, 2018).…”

ÖzFutbol oynamak gibi futbol taraftarlığı da erkek egemenliğinde olan cinsiyetlendirilmiş bir alandır. Kadın taraftarların deneyimlerini ve alandaki konumlarını anlayabilmek, futbol taraftarlığı alanındaki genel kabul gören erkek taraftar kimliklerinden farklı taraftar kimliklerini ortaya çıkarabilmemizi ve böylelikle alanı bütünlüklü kavrayabilmemizi sağlayacaktır. Bu doğrultuda bu araştırmanın amacı, futbol taraftarlık alanı içerisinde kadınların konumlarını, onların marjinalleşmesine sebep olabilen doxalar yoluyla analiz etmektir. Nitel paradigmayla yürüttüğümüz araştırmada spor kulüplerinin taraftarı 8 kadın ile yaptığımız bireysel görüşmelerin tematik analizi sonucunda iki tema ortaya çıktı: Eril Bir Alan Olarak Taraftarlık ve Alanın Doxası: Kabul Görmek İçin Erkek Gibi Olma. İlk temada taraftarlığın nasıl bir sosyal alan oluşturduğu ve bu sosyal alanın eril olmasını sağlayan etmenlerin neler olduğunu, ikinci temada ise kadınlardan bu eril alanda kabul görebilmek için neler beklendiğini bulgularla tartıştık. Araştırmanın sonucunda, kadınların gerçek taraftar olarak kabul edilmekte zorluklar yaşadığı, sürekli olarak futbol bilgilerinin sınandığı ve erkeklere yüklenen davranış kalıplarına uymaları ve cinsiyetçiliği kabul etmeleri halinde kabul gördükleri ortaya çıkmıştır. AbstractLike football, football fandom is a gendered field dominated by men. To understand the experience and of fans and their place in this place helps us reveal different fandom identities aside from accepted male dominant fandom identities, thus it helps to understand the field as a whole. In this aspect the aim of this study is analyzing place of the women in fandom by researcing doxas causing their marginalization. As a result of our qualitative research that include interviews held to 8 women fans of sport clubs two themes emerged. First one is Fandom as a Masculine Field, second one is Doxas of Field: To Be Like 'Men' for Accepted. In first theme we discuss how fandom creates a social field and which elements creates the masculanity of this field, in second theme we review what kind of things are expected from women to be accepted in this field. As a result of the study it reveals that women deal with hardship to get acceptance as a real fans, their knowledge is constantly questioned, and they get approval if they string along with men and accept sexism.

“…Looking at the studies in the literature, it is seen that issues are frequently addressed in terms of leadership and participation of women in sport. Especially regarding the obstacles and difficulties faced by women in the branch of football (Abakay and Kuru, 2013;Baştuğ et al, 2016;Ben-Porat, 2009;Engin et al, 2019;Fielding-Lloyd and Meân, 2011;Özkar, 2018;Öztürk and Koca, 2018), relevant studies are available. This great interest in football is due to the popularity of this sport, but, although other sports are not as popular as football -one of the main reasons for this is that football is a sports branch which has a market in the world -women's performance in different sports branches is also remarkable.…”
