It is a versatile event brand, which was initiated by Sabah Newspaper in order to take an important step toward designing the future of Turkish football under the leadership of our state, which brings together not only the actors leading football but also relevant institutions of the state and the brands investing in football, unites football and the business world, and discusses basic issues such as economy, management, infrastructure, marketing and globalization, which sets rational, visionary, creative, sustainable and qualified targets, creates knowledge and consciousness, and raises public awareness.
The process of professionalism has made sporting activities more than just a game, transforming them into a sector that functions at an economic level. In particular, football has become industrialized beyond just a game. As football’s power to influence the masses has been combined with the power of consumption, it has become one of the most important sectors of our time. Football... A universal empire!
