This study was conducted in terms of qualitative data type, thematic analysis method, and King and Harwicks procedure. Therefore, the population under study was domestic and foreign published articles that were published in domestic and foreign scientific journals and conferences. The unit of analysis was 18 articles, selected based on the scale of accuracy, originality, and novelty of the research. The qualitative analysis software Max Quda was used to analyze the data. Based on the analysis, 37 codes were obtained, which were organized into four interpretive codes: opportunities for using good sports governance, threats for not using good sports governance, strengths for using good sports governance, and weaknesses for not using good sports governance. According to the results obtained, it is suggested that sports authorities define precise evaluation indicators specific to each organization in order to implement good sports governance, design efficient models based on the organization's internal and external conditions, and strengthen supervision of sports institutions. It is suggested that sports policymakers and managers, using successful global models, develop a transparent and systematic framework for sports governance to help improve the performance of sports organizations and increase their efficiency.
