This study was conducted using a qualitative method and qualitative content analysis. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 17 experts in the field of sports management, media, and officials related to holding sports events. Data analysis was conducted using thematic analysis and three stages of open, axial, and selective coding. The findings of the study showed that four axial codes, including sports diplomacy, media advertising and branding, attracting public participation, and infrastructure, have a significant impact on improving the status of countries in hosting sports events.
