Using bibliometric analysis, the study identifies key trends, prominent sources, and influential works in this growing area of research. The findings reveal a significant rise in publications over recent years, particularly in the past few years, indicating a strong and increasing focus on sustainable practices in the sports industry. Additionally, the study highlights the dominant role of certain countries and academic institutions in contributing to this field.
