Assessing the implementation of the Sports for Climate Action Framework in National Olympic Committees
This study examines how National Olympic Committees (NOCs) implement the United Nations’ Sports for Climate Action Framework (S4CAF) and the contextual factors influencing that process. Drawing on Contextual Interaction Theory (CIT), the research focuses on the interaction of actor motives, cognitions, and resources with broader political and organisational contexts. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with representatives from…
Exploring Social Cohesion in Running Clubs
This study explores how informal and non-competitive running clubs can contribute to social cohesion in communities characterized by high mobility and cultural diversity, where relocation for work or education leads to frequent resident turnover. This research employs a qualitative approach and uses Thenex Runclub in Kufstein, Austria as a case study. Considering the ways in which informal, open sports initiatives may promote social cohesion, the…
Participatory Football and Social Development
Sport for development (SFD) is a field that leverages sport to advance social development goals. Participatory and sport‐didactical approaches, such as football3, prioritise social outcomes over competitive success. However, evidence of their effectiveness remains limited. This study presents results from a field experiment in Bulgaria, comparing schoolchildren engaged in the participatory football3 method to peers playing traditional football. W…
Game Changer
Sport for Development (SFD) leverages sports as a tool to support broader sustainable development goals, particularly in underserved communities worldwide. As Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology advances, its application in SFD offers both promising opportunities and significant challenges in areas such as curriculum design, evaluation, and participant engagement. Through a qualitative survey of experts and practitioners analysed through Them…
Are three halves better than two? A comparison of participatory and conventional football in short-term events
Playing for progress
Sport for development (SFD) has emerged as a significant field of activity and has increasingly been critiqued for focusing on micro-level initiatives as a remedy to larger scale social or structural issues. This has led numerous scholars to propose more political meso or macro level approaches to deliver improved, sustainable outcomes. One such solution involves direct engagement in policy advocacy to support, and influence, policies that can di…
Levelling the playing field? Outcomes and assumptions within a sport-based women's employability programme
This paper examines the intersections of gender and employability through a sport-based women's employability programme supported by a global NGO and implemented in 22 countries. Situated within Sport for Development (SFD) discourse, we explore how such initiatives navigate the dual objectives of empowering participants and addressing broader social and economic challenges. Drawing on 112 qualitative case studies, our analysis highlights particip…
A problem without a cause
Critical examinations of the sport for development (SfD) field have highlighted concerns related to an emphasis on individual-level solutions and outcomes and the reinforcement of current neoliberal power structures. As such, the purpose of this paper is to investigate how SfD organisations use their annual reports to frame social problems, define the causes of those problems, the role of sport in crafting solutions to development problems, and m…
Sport for Development
Over the last 30 years there has been a growth of actors involved in Sport for Development (SFD). Though some of these actors aligned with prevailing power structures, others challenged existing power structures. In that sense, the SFD movement became disparate and multi-faceted and could be seen as an emerging area that could challenge dominant structures. With time, the SFD sector has coalesced around a variety of formal structures, and these m…
Keeping It Real
Sport for development (SFD) initiatives have faced numerous criticisms around the focus on individual-level (micro) outcomes and lack of integration at the community (meso) and structural (macro) levels. As a result, there is growing recognition that programmes need to find ways to work with and engage a wide range of community members and stakeholders through more inclusive, participatory approaches. One such approach is known as Living Labs. In…
Fighting Discrimination through Sport? Evaluating Sport-Based Workshops in Irish Schools
Discrimination based on ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation remains a pressing challenge throughout Europe, including within Ireland. Despite this, anti-discrimination education is lacking and uneven within school settings. Responding to this gap and seeking to capitalise on the perceived social potential of sport, one Irish NGO has begun delivering sport-based anti-discrimination workshops to students in primary and secondary schools nation…
Academic Engagement in Sport for Development
Over the last two decades, the sport for development (SFD) sector has grown significantly, and there has been a concurrent increase in research and educational activities to support the field. In particular, academic institutions are taking a more significant role, contributing to a growing body of literature and developing numerous SFD-specific courses. Despite these initiatives and the important role assigned to academia, academic activities re…
From silos to a unified field? Mapping academic production in sport for development
In the last decade, the field of sport for development (SFD) has continued its impressive growth, including as it relates to academic output. This output, however, has not come without criticism. In particular, concerns have been raised about the quality of evidence presented, the dominance of the Global North within SFD research, and the apparent lack of transdisciplinary cooperation in the field. In the following, we take a specific interest in…
Racing to Win
Joining the Olympic Movement provides smaller countries with material and symbolic benefits. The Olympic Games represent a unique symbolic stage for national recognition and identity construction. Resource-poor countries can also access sport development funding programmes. However, participation in the international sport system comes at the price of a ‘coercive policy transfer’. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) requires countries to su…

Sport for Social Cohesion
European sport policies and programmes have increasingly focused on promoting social cohesion. Often presented as a multi-dimensional concept, social cohesion is considered the 'glue' that holds societies together and is seen as essential to addressing common challenges. However, the term remains contested, and it is not always clear how programmes conceptualize or support social cohesion. Thus, this paper explores how three European sport progra…
Knowledge Management in Botswana Sport
In Botswana, sport is positioned as a potential driver of economic and social development. In particular, there are numerous discussions about increasing the socio-economic impact of sport and the need to professionalise Botswana sport. Knowledge Management (KM) can play a critical role in achieving this greater professionalisation and impact. Despite this importance, there have only been a small number of studies on KM in sports, and none of thi…
Sport and social cohesion within European policy
Social cohesion is increasingly present and prioritised on the European political agenda. Generally defined as some combination of trust, solidarity and identity, social cohesion is considered the 'glue' that binds societies together. Due to its interactive nature and supposedly universal appeal, sport has been called upon to play a role in fostering social cohesion across the continent. Accordingly, the European Union has invested considerable p…
Foresight for the Fitness Sector
The fitness sector is an essential player in the promotion of physical activity and healthy behaviour in Europe. However, the sector is confronted with numerous socio-demographic trends that will shape its ability to be financially successful and contribute to public health. The sector must understand current drivers of change and the skills its workforce needs to navigate them. As such, using the results of a 2019 Delphi Survey of over 50 fitnes…
Can sport for development programs improve educational outcomes? A rapid evidence assessment
Over the last 20 years, sport for development (SFD) has become an increasingly used tool to tackle education-related challenges around the world and has even become recognized by major international institutions such as the United Nations and the Commonwealth. In spite of this, evidence on the effectiveness of SFD programs on educational outcomes is limited. Through a Rapid Evidence Assessment (REA), this paper seeks to begin addressing this gap.…
