Method: Body length, body weight, body mass index, age, age of the football playing with licence, vertical jump, anaerobic power, shuttle run, aerobic capacity (MaxVO2), leg strength, back strength, right handgrip strength, left handgrip strength, relative leg strength, relative back strength, relative right and left handgrip strength were measured in this study. ANOVA test were applied to the analysis of the data. Results and Conclusion: As a result of, there were significant differences among the league according to body length, vertical jump, anaerobic power, shuttle run, aerobic capacity, leg strength, back strength, relative leg and relative back strength (p˂0.05). But there were no significant differences according to body mass index, age, age of the football playing wtih licence, right handgrips strength, left handgrips strength, relative right handgrips strength and relative left handgrips strength (p˃0.05). There were significant differences among the status of the football players according to body weight, body mass index, age, vertical jump, anaerobic power, leg strength, back strength, relative left handgrip strength (p˂0.05). But there were no significant differences according to body length, shuttle run, aerobic capacity, right handgrip strength, left handgrip strength, relative leg strength, relative back strength, relative right handgrip strength (p˃0.05). It is seen that the differences among the positions are caused by the goalkeeper. There were significant differences among the positions football players according to body length, body weight, body mass index, vertical jump, anaerobic power, shuttle run, aerobic capacity (MaxVO2), right handgrip strength, left handgrip strength, relative back strength (p˂0.05). But there were no significant differences age, age of the football playing with licence, leg strength, back strength, relative leg strength, relative right and relative left handgrip strength (p˃0.05).
