The aim of this study is to examine the competency levels of sports managers in terms of sports facility adequacy. A descriptive survey model was used in the study. The population of the research consists of sports managers in Turkey. The sample of the research consists of 134 participants selected through random sampling method among sports managers working in different institutions and organizations in Turkey. Personal information form and sports facility adequacy scale were used as data collection tools. In binary comparisons (gender, marital status, and family's use of sports facility), Student's t-test was used, while in multiple comparisons (age, number of children, duration of work in the institution, education level, and sports background), one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's multiple comparison tests were employed. Significant differences were observed based on marital status, whereas no significant differences were found based on gender, age, number of children, duration of work in the institution, sports background, and family's use of sports facility variables. According to the analysis results, it was determined that married participants had higher mean scores compared to single participants. The views of sports managers are important regarding the qualities and functioning of sports facilities. In terms of the variables included in the research, it can be seen that sports managers' opinions do not have any effect on sports facility adequacy. However, the average scores of the findings can be considered moderate. This indicates that sports facilities' adequacy is not low but also not high. In conclusion, consulting with sports managers' opinions and thoughts will be important during the construction and subsequent processes of sports facilities. Additionally, a more comprehensive study related to the research topic can be recommended.
