What Goztepe SK does

Göztepe SK (Göztepe Spor Kulübü), founded in 1925 and headquartered in İzmir, Turkey, is one of the country's oldest and most storied professional football clubs, organized as Göztepe Sportif Yatırımlar A.Ş. The club competes in the Trendyol Süper Lig, the top tier of Turkish football, and plays home matches at ISONEM Park Gürsel Aksel Stadium under a naming rights partnership with ISONEM. The squad is led by Head Coach Stanimir Stoilov with Sporting Director Ivan Mance overseeing football operations, while President Rasmus Ankersen and CEO Kerem Ertan lead the corporate entity. On the field, the senior team finished 6th in the 2025-2026 season and the U19 team qualified for the UEFA Youth League in May 2026 after defeating Trabzonspor in the play-off final.

The commercial ecosystem is diversified across six revenue streams. Matchday income derives from single-match tickets and six tiers of season packages (kombine) priced from ₺8,000 to ₺59,500 plus a ₺4,000 student tier, sold via the mandatory Passolig digital ticketing system. Broadcasting revenue flows through the league-wide Digiturk/beIN CONNECT partnership, with season ticket holders receiving a bundled Mini Yıldız Dolu multi-sport streaming package. Kit supply is provided by Umbro, with commercial partners including İLK İnşaat (shirt back), Osmanlı Yatırım (right sleeve), and approximately 16 additional sponsors spanning construction, financial services, insurance, energy, automotive, travel, and beverage sectors. Merchandise is sold through the dedicated e-commerce storefront gozgoz.com.tr and at stadium outlets.

Beyond the senior team, Göztepe operates a football school (Futbol Okulları) network spanning 90+ locations across all seven Turkish geographic regions plus London and Baku, generating recurring subscription revenue and functioning as a youth talent pipeline.
