The utilization of various strategy formulation models in different industrial sectors has become a common practice. The aim of this research was to determine a strategy for the market development of the sports jewelry industry in Iran using the analytical SWOC approach. On the other hand, sports, as an effective factor in social, economic, cultural development and direct and indirect effects, play an important role in the economy of countries. In recent years, sports as an economic sector, both practical and spectacular, play an essential role in the production and consumption of sports goods and services and the economic development of different societies. Therefore, considering the place of sports and art among people, we realize that handicrafts and industrial arts, especially ornaments, have attracted many fans since the beginning of history (Chavosh bashi, et al., 2012). Therefore, to expand this category and promote it by using sports marketing, which is one of the sub-branches of marketing, in which sports teams and events are promoted.

The current study was practical in terms of its objective and descriptive-analytical in terms of its strategy. Qualitative content analysis was conducted using the method of nominal interviews to collect data. The concepts and codes obtained were classified into four categories. A total of 15 theoretical saturation interviews were conducted. The research population consisted of sports management specialists, experts in the gold industry, gold jewelry manufacturers, gold jewelry retailers, and marketing academics with relevant studies in sports, and sports figures.

It is obvious that the topic marketing and strengthening experts and professional marketers in this field will have a significant impact on introducing and developing this industry in society. On the other hand, the culture and civilization of any country is at the same time as the history of that country. Accurate and appropriate planning for the use of energy reserves and resources will pave the way for the participation of experts in this industry and the use of the capacities of these people, and on the other hand, in order to help the development of the sports jewelry industry and with the knowledge of the elements of creativity and innovation. And the motivation in the youth, the use of the young and educated class leads to the development and provision of better services in this field. Therefore, strategies used in this industry include utilizing reserves and energy resources for planned exports, employing young educated workforce for better services, capacity development and collaboration among specialists, and leveraging cultural and climatic diversity with an emphasis on organizing exhibitions for introduction and marketing purposes. Considering the findings and results, it can be acknowledged that the sports jewelry industry, relying on aggressive position strategies, will be able to achieve its goals.

Sports have emerged as a significant form of soft power in diplomatic and international relations. A historical examination of the introduction of non-native sports in Iran sheds light on the methods and reasons behind their adoption in the country. The historical presence of foreigners and international relations in Iran has had a notable impact, particularly in the development of modern sports.
