The scale used was 5 Likert type. In the exploratory factor analysis conducted concerning 40 items in the scale in order to check validity of scale; it was determined that the scale was a 5-factor scale and the number of items was reduced to 23. In order to test the reliability of the scale, Cronbach Alfa score was used and the reliability was determined to be 0,6576. As a result, findings support the use of the “Perception Scale of Professional Football Career Termination Experience (PSPFCTE)” to measure the perceptions of career termination process of individuals who have retired from the professional football.
