The study is to identify the factors affecting sports diplomacy in Iran by qualitative analysis approach. It was conducted with qualitative approach and content analysis method. The statistical population of the study consisted of sports diplomacy experts. Purposeful sampling and snowball sampling technique were used and sampling was continued until the research reached theoretical saturation and adequacy (n = 11). In-depth interviews were also used to collect the data. The questions of this interview were open-ended and based on the purpose of the research. In this study, Guba and Lincoln criteria were used to measure the validity and reliability of the research instrument. Finally, Maxqda version 12 software was used to analyze qualitative data. The results of the interview analysis showed that sports diplomacy is defined by two types of sports diplomacy for sport leadership and sports diplomacy influenced by political factors. It was also found that the prerequisites for sport diplomacy are a combination of subcategories of international seats in sport, having a roadmap for international diplomacy leaders, streamlining, early capacities for international relations officials. It is the foundation, the formulation of the strategic plan, the investment in promoting soft power and international awareness. Therefore, it is suggested that sport diplomacy leaders and practitioners provide a better context for the factors influencing sport diplomacy to make these factors more effective in order to see the dynamics and development of this soft power in the field.

As this sport affects beliefs, attitudes and practices, and as one of the factors contributing to the formation of internal and external policies and relationships, it can carry out numerous social, economic, cultural and diplomatic functions and has made a lot of change in countries. As a result, sports and sport activities have gone beyond physical activity or entertainment, and have achieved various social, cultural, economic, political and international goals and functions. Analysis of theories and research found that among the various phenomena, football as one of the examples of relations between countries has been able to place a special place among the programs of developing countries to express their own society demands to the world. The political, social, economic, and cultural functions of football, and its effects and effects on the level of interactions between states and others, international actors, have the potential to be theorized and conceptualized.

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.
