In this case, it is inevitable to arrive at a new judgment by passing the structure of the Turkish sports administration. "The first joint-stock companies producing sports services in the world were established and operating in the Ottoman and Turkish Republic". Therefore, it is possible to add "1906-1937 private sector period", emphasizing the fact that the Turkish sports administration is the first in the world to developmental stages.

Introduction The aim of our work is to determine joint-stock companies operating and producing sports services in the Late period of Ottoman Empire and the Early period of Turkish Republic. This finding is important from two perspectives. First, the first three of the joint-stock companies that provide sports services in the world was established in the late period of Ottoman Empire in 1913, 1916 and 1917 respectively. The second one is that one of these incorporated companies continues to operate in the early period of Turkish Republic until 1937. This situation is important in terms of Turkish sports management. Because the main judgment of the scientists who make research about sports management is "Turkish sports management has a statist structure not autonomous". However, from 1923 to 1937, in accordance with market conditions, a private joint-stock company operated sports services to consumers. In this case, it is inevitable to arrive at a new judgment by passing the structure of the Turkish sports administration. In the study, a qualitative method was followed by "descriptive field scanning", documentary or documentary work. (Karasar, 1976, Kaptan, 1983). In this way, our research has been structured by the historical research method and the survey model used in the historical studies together with the qualitative research in terms of content. Historical research method has been supported by archive scanning method based on the examination, translation, reading, and evaluation of books, documents, files, official and private correspondence documents, international information and documents. Arıkan, 99 , Arlı, Sports management cannot be abstracted from society; because sports undertake certain obligations as part of the social division of labor as a social institution. Sports management cannot be abstracted from economics; because sport is an analogy of how human beings enter into nature, and the struggle to reproduce and reproduce life is likewise a productive simulation of a basic struggle (tool production) that has long been formed by sports tools.
