 Bu çalışmanın amacı 1 spor diplomasisinde yumuşak güç ile ilgili literatürün incelenmesi, 2 spor diplomasisinde yumuşak güç ile bağlantılı eğilimlerin belirlenmesi ve 3 araştırmalardan elde edilen sonuçların oluşturan temalara göre sınıflandırılmasıdır. Sistematik literatür taraması yönteminin kullanıldığı araştırmada, amaca uygun seçim kriterlerinin belirlenmesi, veri kaynağının seçilmesi, veri çıkarma, sonuçların sınıflandırılması ve raporlama protokolü izlenmiştir. Spor alanında yumuşak güç kavramını konu alan 2010-2023 yılları arasında Web of Science WOS veri tabanında yer alan 487 makaleye ulaşılmış filtreleme işlemlerinin ardından anahtar kelimeler ışığında 27 tam metinli makale sistematik incelemeye tabi tutulmuştur. İlgili çalışmalar yıl, dergi, odak noktası, ülke, araştırma yöntemi, veri toplama aracı, dayandığı kuram, spor türü ve elde edilen sonuçlara göre sınıflandırılmıştır. Yumuşak güç ile ilgili makalelerden elde edilen sonuçlar organizasyonlara ev sahipliği yapmanın etkileri, organizasyonların ülke imajına katkısı ve organizasyonların politik etkileri olmak üzere üç tema altında ele alınmıştır. Çalışmalarda en çok araştırılan organizasyonlar 2008 Olimpiyatları ve 2022 FIFA Dünya Kupası olurken, genel olarak bakıldığında ise mega spor etkinlikleri ve futbol en çok odaklanılan konulardır. Çalışmalarda genellikle ülke imajı ve ulus markalaşmasına atıfta bulunulduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak devletler tarafından yumuşak güç aracı olarak sporun misyonuna olan güven duygusuyla spora devasa yatırımlar yapıldığı, ancak birçok ülkenin hedefledikleri yumuşak güç kazanımlarına ulaşamadıkları tespit edilmiştir.
