Call for Papers
In addition, the field of sports management is increasingly proving to be a source of inspiration for the business world, offering coaching strategies, motivation and collective management tactics that are relevant to companies. The integration of new technologies and the increased participation of women in sport are also significant trends, inviting us to study their influence in the managerial sphere as well as their financial and marketing impact on the industry.

We cordially invite academics, researchers, and industry professionals to submit full papers.
