Fotomaç

What is Fotomaç?

Fotomaç is a daily sports title with a news site at fotomac.com.tr and an electronic edition of the printed paper. Its künye names Turkuvaz Haberleşme ve Yayıncılık A.Ş. as publisher, Emre Güneş as both Genel Yayın Yönetmeni and Sorumlu Müdür, Mustafa Yüce as Dijital Yayınlar Genel Müdürü, Aslıhan Albayrak as Dijital Reklam Genel Müdürü and Muhammed Uzun as Tüzel Kişi Temsilcisi, at 5. Levent Mahallesi, Mareşal Fevzi Çakmak Caddesi, B Blok No. 29/1/1, Eyüpsultan, İstanbul.^[1]

That address and those two officers also appear on the künye of the television channel A Spor, whose licence holder is named as Turkuvaz ATV Televizyon Prodüksiyon A.Ş. and whose site host is named as Turkuvaz Haberleşme ve Yayıncılık A.Ş. — the company that publishes this title.^[2] The künye also names Aslıhan Albayrak as Dijital Reklam Genel Müdürü and prints a telephone number and an editorial e-mail address; those are the officers the masthead carried on 23 September 2026, and no earlier holder of any of the posts is asserted.^[1]

What does Fotomaç cover?

The site's navigation puts four clubs at the top level — Beşiktaş, Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray and Trabzonspor — followed by Futbol with league and club subsections, Basketbol with leagues and national teams, Yazarlar, Fotomaç TV, Galeri and a Diğer Sporlar section that carries volleyball, motorsport, tennis and wrestling among others.^[3] A club-first navigation of that kind is unusual enough to be worth recording as published.

The federation's 2024–2025 competition statute defines the division those clubs contest: the Süper Lig as the country's top professional football division, composed of nineteen clubs playing a double round-robin, with the four clubs finishing sixteenth to nineteenth relegated and international entry following UEFA's criteria.^[4]

How large is Fotomaç's audience?

No audited circulation or readership figure could be retrieved. Basın İlan Kurumu could not be fetched for this page, so no circulation figure is given and none is estimated. Traffic estimators are not audited measurement and are not used.

The site itself publishes one operational figure rather than an audience one: it states that the e-gazete — the electronic edition of the printed paper — “her gün 08:00'de güncellenmektedir”, that it is updated daily at 08:00.^[3]

For context on how sports content is consumed, the Radyo ve Televizyon Üst Kurulu's Medyametre Medya Kullanım Alışkanlıkları Araştırması 2024, conducted face to face with 15,766 respondents aged 15 and over across 26 provinces with fieldwork in January–August 2024, lists “Spor Yorum Programları” among the television programme types watched at 35.7 per cent; that is a television measurement and does not speak to this title.^[5]

Since when has Fotomaç existed?

No founding date for the title could be retrieved from its own pages; the künye prints the publisher, the officers, the address and the contact details, and no date of establishment.^[1] This page states no founding year rather than adopt an unsourced one.

The dated facts available are corporate and editorial: the publisher named on the künye is Turkuvaz Haberleşme ve Yayıncılık A.Ş. and the responsible editor named there is Emre Güneş, as read on 23 September 2026.^[1]

Why does Fotomaç matter in Turkey's sport?

It is a daily sports title that still publishes an edition of the printed paper electronically on a fixed daily schedule, and it sits in the same corporate group as a licensed sports television channel, the two mastheads sharing an address and two officers.^[3][2] That cross-holding is stated here from the mastheads themselves rather than from any third-party description.

Reporters Without Borders places Türkiye 163rd of 180 countries in its 2026 World Press Freedom Index with a score of 27.94, on indicator scores of 20.16 political, 26.78 economic, 31.20 legal, 28.93 social and 32.61 security.^[6] That measurement is reported as published and no inference is drawn from it about this title. The opening sentence of the Media landscape section of its Türkiye country page reads: “With 90% of national media outlets under government control, the public has turned towards media outlets of varying political stances that are independent and critical of power over the past five years to learn about the impact of the economic and political crisis on the country.” That sentence is quoted as published, at country level.

The commercial scale of the domestic football it covers is documented by the federation rather than by the outlet. The Türkiye Futbol Federasyonu announced on 2 March 2024 that package E of the tender for the transfer of Süper Lig and TFF 1. Lig broadcasting rights had gone to Krea İçerik Hizmetleri ve Prodüksiyon A.Ş. at “sezonluk 182.000.000,00-USD (218.400.000,00-USD KDV DAHİL)”, with 11 March 2024 set as the deadline for completing the legal procedures; the announcement does not state which seasons the contract covers.^[7]
