The study is to design a model of football diplomacy in Iran, which is based on the Grounded Theory and through interviews with 23 managers, experts, faculty members, legislators and diplomats and media practitioners who use the Snowball method and selection of experts with maximum oscillation was done. The data were analyzed through three open, axial, and selective coding steps through Nvivo 10 software. The findings, in three stages of coding, identified and categorized the main and secondary categories of football diplomacy: the causal conditions (football nature, structural factors, cultural policies, international politics, Management policies, media policies, professional sport policies); background conditions (economic factors, factors related to government and politics, cultural and social factors, measurement criteria and policies related to FIFA); strategies (international actions, structural actions, cultural and social actions, actions related to expedition teams, business and economic actions), and consequences (dignity and prestige International, development of peace and friendship, isolationism, national identity and convergence, and development of sport tourism, power generation and upgrading of skills). Finally, the paradigm and theoretical model of football diplomacy were formed, As a result of football diplomacy in Iran, according to Progressive constraints that have been affected by different conditions are far from reaching the desired and expected status.

In the resent research, we intend using a sociological view that includes both theoretical and field sections, explaining the factors affecting Participation of veterans in sports activities. To explain the independent variable, which is a socio- economic status, we use Pierre Bourdieu -contemporary theorist- theory, but in the case of the dependent variable that is sports participation, we use the theories of sports sociology theorists such as Rowland and Freedson, Scanlan and Simon. The field section is a survey and the data measured, described and analyzed using the questionnaire technique. The research sample consisted of 372 athlete veterans in Tehran province. The sampling method is a multi-stage cluster sampling. After completing the questionnaires, the data were analyzed using SPSS software and statistical tests. Processes and statistical tests represent the fact that there is a significant difference between the dimensions of the socio-economic status of athlete veterans (income, occupation and education), age, marital status, sports fields, percentage of veterans and veterans' participation in sport activities.
