The 11th Czech Philosophy of Sport Conference will be held at the Faculty of Theology, University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice. We plan to organise a ‘physical’ meeting with a limited number of online presentations as exceptions. The conference will be in English and under the auspices of the Faculty of Theology, University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, Czech Republic. We cordially invite you to participate in this event.

The aim of this special issue isto provide a holistic overview on where sport and social media research has been (reflections) and where it may be headed in the future. Specifically, what has social media and sport scholarship contributed in the past decade+, and what are the implications for sport and social media in coming years? For this special issue on social media, we also welcome papers that examine gaming and virtual-reality platforms.

We encourage submissions from early career researchers as well as established researchers. Please note that the Nordic arena is not an exclusionary geography for the papers to be considered. Furthermore, contributors should keep in mind that organised sport for youth is in focus of this special issue, which does not of course exclude that attention can be given among others to children’s rights. We prefer submissions that take an interdisciplinary approach and include attention both to minority and majority youth.
