AVRUPA FUTBOLUNUN REKABETÇİ DENGE ANALİZİ (2018-2019 SEZONU ÖRNEĞİ)

Rekabetçi denge takımların birbirlerine karşı mücadele etme gücü olarak tanımlandığında, liglerde yer alan takımların güç dengelerinin belirlenmesi o ligin kalitesi ve izlenirliği açısından önem arz etmektedir. Futbol en çok izlenen spor branşlarının başında gelmektedir. Futbolun cazibesinin devamı ve izlenirliğinin artması rekabetçi denge düzeyini ölçmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu amacı gerçekleştirmek ve liglerin rekabetçi denge düzeyini ölçmek için gerekli olan veriler tarama modeli kullanılarak ve doküman analizi yöntemiyle elde edilmiştir. Veriler dünya sporunun birçok branşını içinde barındıran ve özellikle futbolda uluslararası birçok ligin istatistiksel bilgilerini barındıran Maçkolik sitesinden alınmıştır. Doküman analizinde 2018-2019 sezon sonu tabloları kullanılarak rekabetçi dengenin ölçülmesi için C5 endeksi, Lorenz Egrisi ve Gini Katsayısı kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda C5 endeksi ve Gini değerlerine göre rekabetçi dengeye en yakın lig 18 takımlı liglerde liglerde Spor Toto Süper Lig (Türkiye)(0,31) iken onu sırasıyla Bundesliga (0,45), Eredivisie (0,46), Premier Lig (0,48) takip etmiştir. 20 takımlı liglerde de en rekabetçi lig La Liga (0,34), Ligue 1 (0,35), Seria A (0,36) ve Premier Lig (0,38) çıkmıştır. Bu sonuçlara göre Avrupa’nın en büyük liglerinde rekabetçi dengeden uzak bir seyir ortaya çıkmıştır

This study has a descriptive research model. In order to measure thecompetitive equilibrium level of these leagues, scanning model was used and document analysismethod was used. In the document analysis, C5 index, Lorenz Curve and Gini Coefficient were usedto measure competitive equilibrium by using the 2018-2019 seasonal tables. As a result of theresearch, the league closest to the competitive equilibrium according to C5 index and Gini valuesis the Sport Toto Super League (Turkey) (0.31) among the leagues with 18 teams, followed byBundesliga (Germany) (0.45), Eredivisie (Netherlands) (0.46), and Premier League (Portugal) (0.48).In the leagues with 20 teams, the most competitive league was La Liga (Spain) (0.34), Ligue 1(France) (0.35), Seria A (Italy) (0.36) and Premier League (England) (0.38).
