Abstract

The aim of the present study was to identify and extract the important and influential components of sport diplomacy. The methodology of this study was applied and a survey in terms of data collection that was conducted in a mixed approach (qualitative and quantitative). The statistical population was equal to all the experts and the statistical sample in the quantitative section according to Cochran's formula for the unknown population size was equal to 218 subjects who were selected by convenience sampling method. Firstly, sport diplomacy related components were extracted with a review of the related literature. Then, using the fuzzy Delphi method, the items of the questionnaire were validated by experts. Exploratory factor analysis was used to summarize the themes extracted from interviews, to identify factors, and to name the extracted factors. Finally, seven components of political processes, cultural exchange, peacebuilding, national unity, economic development, transformation and communication and religious trends were extracted. Next, Structural-Interpretive Modeling (SIM) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) tests were used to investigate the relationships of variables. The results showed that political processes, cultural exchange, transformation and communication had direct and significant effects on national unity. The significance of political processes has not been endorsed by the peacebuilding factor, but national unity and the peacebuilding factor in sport diplomacy had direct and significant effects on the economic development of societies; thus, it seems that strengthening national unity and the peacebuilding role of sport in societies can help their economic prosperity.
