“Yes, with Portugal and Spain, but no Morocco”
Public acceptance of co-hosted sport mega-events is shaped by complex social judgements that influence resident support. Drawing on the social exchange perspective and incorporating insights from congruence theories, this study investigates how Iberian residents perceive trust in FIFA’s decision-making, the (in)congruence between the hosting nations, and how these perceptions shape their support to the 2030 FIFA Men’s World Cup. Using qualitative…
Social Media as a Teaching‐Learning Tool to Enhance Students' Professional Profile
One of the primary goals of universities is to foster students' professional development and boost their employability. Social media platforms have become integral in today's digital age, causing disruptions in health, education and sport. University educators have integrated these platforms into classrooms to create online and hybrid teaching environments. However, research indicates that graduate students often lack proficiency in leveraging so…
Transformative blockchain technological approaches to sports events
The integration of blockchain technology in sports event management represents a significant shift towards more decentralized and efficient governance structures, particularly relevant to small and medium-sized events. Despite growing interest, its practical implementation remains limited and lacks comprehensive theoretical guidance. This study addresses this gap by proposing an integrated theoretical framework, combining the Dynamic Capabilities…
TikTok as an ‘angel’ or ‘demon’ learning tool in sport sciences education
This study explored the integration of TikTok, an emerging social media platform, into sport sciences education. Despite its popularity among youth, TikTok's educational impact has been understudied. Through a narrative critical rereview, this work analyzes sport sciences education literature to uncover TikTok's dual nature as both beneficial (‘angel’) and potentially harmful (‘demon’). Emphasizing the need for risk assessment before educational …
Do the Olympic values influence the social capital and the in-game commitment? A case study of esports players
This study aims to explore and describe the structural relationships among player perceptions of (a) the Olympic values, (b) the social capital formation, and (c) the game commitment. A field study was conducted in Portugal, and data were collected from esports players (n = 408) through an online questionnaire to establish cross-sectional associations. Structural equation models (SEM) examined the relationships between the constructs and tested t…
Connecting with fans in the digital age
In a globalised society, characterised by increasingly demanding markets and the accelerated growth of the digital approach, sports organisations face the challenge of connecting with fans, generating and maintaining audiences and communicating with stakeholders creatively and efficiently. Social media has become a fundamental tool, with engagement as a critical measurement element. However, despite its popularity and use, many questions about it…
‘Zero Gravity’
The pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has transformed the professional landscape and people’s career expectations. Especially among students, who now face new challenges not foreseen when they started their studies before the pandemic. Nevertheless, to date, there are no specific studies that examine in depth how the restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic have reshaped the professional expectations of future sport managers. To a…
Physical Activity Using Social Media During the Covid-19 Pandemic
During the period of the COVID-19 lockdown, sports organizations and companies had to look for new ways to connect with their customers by offering physical activity (PA) alternatives to do at home. This study explores the perceptions of 175 undergraduate sports science students regarding their social media (SM) and PA patterns during the first Spanish COVID-19 lockdown period (March to May 2020). From their homes, the students completed an ad ho…
Covid-19 and Soccer Teams on Instagram
COVID-19 has given greater importance to the role of social media in sport, making it an essential way for fans to stay “in touch” with their teams. At the same time, the pandemic triggered additional actions from sport entities with the view to prove their commitment to society in an unprecedented moment of crisis. Professional team sport organizations have indeed initiated corporate social responsibility actions to collaborate in the fight agai…
The academic field of Sport Management
The industry of sport currently has a big impact on our society, in areas as diverse as economics, mass media, health or politics. As a result of this new trend, a specific academic field, identified as ‘Sport Management’ has emerged in the past years. A study field that appears to have experienced a substantive growth over a short period of time. This paper has conducted a review on the relevant aspects that have shaped the identity of Sport Man…
