The aim of this paper was to define and focus on Sport Sponsorship in Turkey according to financial issues. Sport sponsorship was very weak in Turkish sport area before 2004. By the time, The Turkish Government has decided to legislate a special law for supporting “SPORT” and they have regulated some of the financial laws based on 1986 General Directorate of Youth and Sport (GDYS) Law.The new law has started a very efficient age for Turkish sport. On the other hand the new “Autonomous Sport Federation” law had been published in the same time. However that was not real autonomy for the federations. The rules which called “Frame Status for Autonomous Sport Federations” gave some limitations and restrictions to the federations like regulations, financial situations or administrative models. Only football federation has a different situation and has got own special law which was published in 1986. Although football federation and the football clubs could have benefits from the new sport sponsorship law, the rule says that professional sport clubs can show only the %50 of the sponsorship amount as a tax relief. According to the Turkish laws football is the only professional sport branch in Turkey.
