In today's world, sports are no longer considered as an activity for the vitality and health of the individual's soul and spirit; rather, the political, economic, social, and cultural functions issues and their impacts on the international relations of governments require a different and more intelligent look at this phenomenon (1). The social and cultural effects of this phenomenon have made it more necessary to pay attention to it in such a way that the sports elites and champion athletes of any country are precious assets that should be preserved and developed. In fact, the well-known athletes at the national and global level become one of the famous symbols of their society, and that is cause of this reason that the developed countries, realizing this importance, try to use the capacity of their great and well-known athletes in the fields benefited in different ways (2). If these athletes are neglected or if there are no suitable conditions for their growth and development, the possibility of their country moving towards destinations that provide opportunities for them, it will not be impossible (3). Therefore, this work was conducted with the aim of identifying the antecedent and postoperative factors of human capital flight.
