Similar to other activities, an indispensable element of success in football is financial sustainability. Naturally, financial sustainability of football clubs is directly dependent on their fans and hence the fans support. Secondary data of the study reveals that fans potential and their support in Northern Cyprus closely related to its population proved not to be sufficient for the financial sustainability of football clubs. Furthermore, primary data shows that a small percentage of the population is member of football clubs. Unfortunately, respondents of research do not have positive attitude towards supporting football clubs in almost all respect. Possibly, this attitude is the result of their assertion that football clubs are not yet institutionalized in order to create a financially sustainable status.
