Presenting a sociological model of social capital among sport elites interacting with social contexts

Social capital is one of the  indicators of the development and progress from social scientists’ point of view and plays a major role in the quality of social interactions. The study is to obtain a sociological model for cultural capital among sport elites interacting with social context. The research approach was qualitative and the method was Delphi. Accordingly, we interviewed 10 experts and sports elite for 500 minutes and based on these interviews, findings were identified in five sociological categories of social capital for sport elites in social context interaction. The category “social interactions” including the indicators of network interactions and social relationships was of the highest score and average. Thereafter, the categories of “social capital”, “human resources” and “capacity” in the social context have become increasingly important to the social capital of the sporting elite by sporting professionals and elites. The category of “material resources” is also of last importance.Accordingly, the indicators of “training as a supporter of sport” with an average of 4/9 are of  the highest effect and “professors and practitioners of the sport”, “teamwork” and “empathy” and “work ethic” with an average score of 4/8 are of the greatest impact.  Also, the lowest impact and interaction belongs  to the “State Support” index with an average impact of 3/8.
