    Call for Papers | Frontiers Research Topic: “Protecting the Welfare of Individuals Operating in Organized Sport”. Call ends November 27, 2023

    Numerous positive advances have been made to understand and improve the welfare and well-being of those involved in sport, as well as to raise awareness and education at the micro (e.g., peer-to-peer), meso (e.g., coach-athlete, coach-parent, parent-athlete), exo- (e.g., professional leagues, national governing bodies), and macro-system (e.g., media and societal views) levels.

It seeks to unpack the geographical, cultural, sociological and/or organizational contexts in which these debates occur, the stakeholders involved, the issues at stake (money, prestige, control, brands, etc.) and the implications of these debates for moving sport closer to addressing the climate crisis.

    Call for Papers | Frontiers Research Topic: “Spectator Sport and Fan Behavior – Volume II”. Call ends May 9, 2023

At the same time, research also demonstrated a positive relationship between fan identification and self-esteem. Thus, the aim of this Research Topic is to explore fan behaviors in many different areas, involving sports media and the (ever-changing) digital environment.

    The Research Topic ‘Sport, Power and Policies’ invites contributors to consider the complex relationships between Sport, the exercise of ‘Soft Power’ and the impact on government policies in a contemporary context, although historical perspectives and case studies will also be considered. The research aims to take a fresh look at this seminal concept from the mid-1990s in the light of the changing geopolitical landscape. We hope to draw in contributions from a range of sports, including football, cricket, rugby, athletics, et al.
