Sports today is a driving force that supports development, a phenomenon that motivates and influences people. For this reason, sports, which has become a sociocultural institution, is an important tool in international relations (GSB, n.d.). The relationship between sports, politics, and diplomacy has a very long history. In the ancient Olympics, a truce was declared between the dates of the games to protect fans and players (Murray, 2012). The International Olympic Committee's (IOC) decisions in 1980, which played an active role in Taiwan gaining independence from China (Baker et al., 2017), and the Ping Pong diplomacy aimed at reducing tensions between the United States and China (Özbey et al., 2021) are some concrete examples that support this relationship.
