Abstract
This study analyses the effects of information technology on the role of agents in football player transfers. The use of emerging technologies in football player transfers has attracted attention due to its potential to increase transparency and efficiency. The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility and implications of adopting the role of technology in football transfers and to address the key question of how information technology can reduce issues such as lack of transparency, fraud and delays in player transactions. Methodology: This research is of an applied nature and uses a mixed method (qualitative-quantitative) approach. In the qualitative part, content analysis and the Glazer approach were used to extract concepts and patterns, and the data were analyzed using open and axial coding, including targeted interviews with stakeholders and experts in the blockchain field. Data collection techniques included semi-structured interviews and document analysis, followed by thematic analysis to identify key insights. The findings show that blockchain technology offers promising solutions to the challenges of player transfers. In particular, it can improve transparency by providing a secure and immutable ledger, thereby reducing the risk of fraudulent activities. Furthermore, the decentralized nature of blockchain has the potential to streamline administrative processes and shorten transaction times, benefiting both clubs and players. These results suggest that integrating blockchain into football transfers could transform the operational framework of the sports industry, paving the way for more efficient and reliable transactions. By increasing transparency and reducing transaction costs, blockchain can promote fairer practices and improve overall market liquidity in player transfers. This research contributes to the existing body of knowledge by demonstrating practical applications of blockchain in a specific sector of the sports industry. Future research could examine the scalability of different types of blockchain in different sports and assess the long-term economic and regulatory implications. Blockchain, with its features such as transparency, security and innovation, can bring about fundamental and sustainable changes in player transfers. This research shows that the convergence of blockchain and sports, especially in the areas of finance, management and fan interactions, will lead to the formation of a new era full of development and innovation opportunities in this industry.
