Abstract
Objective: The use of sport to address various social issues, including peace, has been widely welcomed. Accordingly, with the increasing popularity and pervasiveness of sport around the world, the subject of sport and peace in scientific discourses has fascinated many researchers. The purpose of this study was to analyze the thematic discourse on the role of sport in world peace.
Methodology: The present study was of qualitative type and was conducted by systematic review of documents. The researchers selected, coded and analyzed 35 documents related to the research objectives by reviewing the articles in the period 2015-2021.
Results: Document analysis by coding method 172 code; 25 concepts and 10 categories were identified. The contexts identified for the development of sport-based world peace included budget, educational sport, culture, competence, politics and religion, communities, sport efficiency, peace capabilities, effectiveness and leadership.
Conclusion: These findings provide a basis for researchers to distinguish the next steps. At the same time, it will lead to a stronger literary base and challenge the lack of discourse in this area.
