الملخص

This research aims to propose a model for the development of sports diplomacy in Iraq. The research method employed was qualitative, utilizing the grounded theory and the Glaser method. The study's statistical population consisted of experts in sports diplomacy in Iraq, including professionals in public diplomacountrycy and sports, high-ranking sport officials, professors of sports management, professors of international relations and political science, sports managers, and elite athletes. The sampling method used was purposeful sampling. A total of 67 concepts were categorized into four main categories: political-legal, economic, cultural-social, and communication. The political-legal category included subcategories of domestic policy with ten concepts and foreign policy with eight concepts. The economic category included subcategories of sports economy with six concepts and national economy with seven concepts. Based on the research results, it is recommended that special attention be given to the political-legal, economic, cultural-social, and communication dimensions for the development of sports diplomacy. Therefore, it is suggested that political and sports authorities work towards creating equal opportunities for men and women in sports to enhance sports diplomacy
