Athlete migration is one of the major challenges facing developing countries, including Iran, which is influenced by complex economic, social, and sports-related factors. The aim of this study is to provide a typology of these migrations. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach and thematic analysis, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews, documents, and published reports. The findings of the study revealed that two main factors influence the migration decisions of Iranian athletes: (1) social network relations, and (2) the perception of socio-economic instability. From the intersection of these two factors and the analyzed codes, five types of migration were identified: temporary migration, migration based on dependency and cultural ties, migration for career development, migration driven by livelihood challenges, and migration with the intention of seeking asylum. The results indicate that managing this phenomenon requires supportive policymaking, improvement of economic conditions, and the creation of professional opportunities. This study can assist sports managers and policymakers in designing effective strategies.
