Abstract

The paper aimed to identify and analyze the political, economic, social, cultural, civilizational, geographical, media, and marketing impacts that resulted and improved as a result of hosting this tournament. It also assessed the level and degree of its contribution to promoting and improving growth at the local and national levels, strengthening Iraqi national identity, and opening up to the Gulf, international, and Arab levels. The paper highlighted the importance of focusing on the impact of the sports sector as a tool for comprehensive improvement of the country and soft diplomacy, particularly how a sporting event can contribute to changing the image of an entire country and repositioning it in its regional and global context. It also examined how its impact transcended geopolitical borders. The research question explored the reasons that led Iraq to host the 25th Arabian Gulf Cup Football Championship in Basra in 2023, and how this competition was invested in various aspects: political, economic, social, marketing, media, cultural, civilizational, and geographical. The research hypothesis demonstrated that hosting the Arabian Gulf Football Championship came with incentives, motivations, and reasons of a comprehensive and integrated strategic nature, with the aim of achieving an effective and positive impact with multiple dimensions and conveying a bright and positive image of Iraq. The study's timeframe spanned the period before 2022 and beyond 2023. The spatial boundary was represented by the Iraqi city of Basra, which hosted the championship. Descriptive analysis, a mixed quantitative and qualitative approach, and a case study approach were used. The study concluded that this championship is a success for sports diplomacy, as the competition embodied a tool and means for rapprochement at the political level between the Republic of Iraq and the Gulf states and for clearing the international and regional atmosphere, which enhanced the country's image as a safe and capable state. It recommends finding clear and explicit ways and means to sustain the championship's economic, cultural, and social impact through major activities, and to integrate the national and Gulf private sectors to preserve its legacy in the long term.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the roles of international sports organizations in climate change, whether contributing to its increase, limiting, or reducing it, by studying the carbon footprint created by sports facilities, competitions, and activities. It also sought to explore the plans and methods used by these international sports organizations to address the negative effects of climate change. The research problem was represented by the following question: Do international sports organizations have a role in climate change? Whether through adapting to it or contributing to its reduction and mitigation? The researcher assumed that international sports organizations play pivotal roles in influential actions that contribute to reducing climate change in the environment and adapting to it systematically, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, contribute to increasing gas emissions that contribute to increasing the carbon footprint. The timeframe was set from 2017 to 2024, as this is the period during which carbon emissions increased and sports organizations became more effective in partnering with other global organizations to confront the adverse climate changes facing the environment. Spatial boundaries: represented by the largest international organizations influential in climate change: FIFA, the International Olympic Committee, the International Swimming Federation, and the International Association of Athletics Federations. Several scientific approaches were used: descriptive analytical approaches, qualitative and quantitative analysis approaches. The researcher concluded that global sports contribute to an increase in the carbon footprint and environmental pollution, and may be at a greater level than certain countries, especially major tournaments, in addition to the supply chains associated with these events. He recommends encouraging initiatives, educating fans, athletes, and media institutions, and using social media to clarify the link between the sports sector and climate change, and exploiting the influence and fame of athletes to change public behavior towards environmental conservation through climate action.
