CALL FOR PAPERS  

The brand and its management have become, among other things, a powerful intangible element of differentiation within business strategies, having developed a highly useful know-how that has transcended the field of business to other areas in which organizations, projects and territories meet. For decades, countries, regions and cities have reflected on this intangible strategically to “mark” anthropological and cultural differences, going beyond an initial strictly economic dimension. Territory-brands have had a deep boost in recent times. This impulse connects to the increasingly evident need for differentiation felt by the different communities (López Lita and Benlloch, 2005).

Many experts, such as Castells (2005), emphasize that cities and territories are great demographic magnets that uniquely condense the physical, intellectual and creative energy of their citizens, stimulating cultural development. Castells points out the value of the implication of citizens together with the government of the territories when it comes to solving problems since cities and regions are centres of knowledge, and this knowledge must be about the impact on the lives of its inhabitants. We have many examples of territories that become paradigmatic, causing them to be a pole of attraction for investment, innovation and culture (Anholt, 2010).

In this context, the ingenuity of territorial managers sharpens by presenting an attractive image of their space, ensuring a favourable perception by all relevant audiences and generating positive and lasting experiences. As Kolotouchkina and Blay mention, they even appropriate the usual practices in the consumer products sector, in companies and corporations. Territorial managers use communication and brand resources to define the value offer of their territory and position it consistently in the interurban market (2015, p.640).

For this effect to occur, the territories must formulate a relevant brand promise for all those groups related. Therefore, strategically managing their identity and image is essential. Given all this phenomenon, public diplomacy has become a part of the territory brand. It's a tool that serves the project as part of the relational and communicational dimension of the brand.

The interest in this call for communications lies in the constitution of sport as a value attribute of the first order in managing brand territory on the global stage. This emerges especially when the 2030 agenda and the UN SDGs demand the conciliation of large territorial development projects concerning the natural environment and having active lifestyles.

The sports phenomenon represents an endless source of emotions, passions and positive values. Few experiences today exert a fascination like sports – whether as an actor or a spectator – in all corners of the planet, becoming one of the main contents of the media. At the same time, the emergence and overcoming of a global pandemic have accelerated transformations that were in process, such as healthy experiences, the commitment to sustainability, digitization and also the use of sport itself as a diplomatic tool.

This monograph aims to publicize the opportunities offered at a strategic level by three interrelated concepts that contribute to citizens, companies and institutions, such as:

• The "brand" is managed with the primary goal of creating positive links that guarantee credibility of the territory represented.
• The "sport" congregates positive values that favour the creation of links while rooted in the geographical territory, which contributes to improving perceptions about it. It is a fundamental element of differentiation in communication for the different agents: companies, civil society and institutions. 
• The "territory" as a geographical space delimited by borders; physical, geographical, geopolitical or mental.

Thus, without being a closed list, the following thematic lines of reflection and analysis are proposed:

• Brands, territory and sport. Innovative experiences in the combined management of some of these strategic axes. 
• Social impact of the strategic management of the brand, the territory and the sport. 
• Brands, territory and sustainability: The aim is to learn about aspects of the creation and management of brands, territorial brands or sports experiences in achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs). 
• Sports diplomacy and territorial identity: Analysis of the use of sport as communicative support for territorial diplomacy and as a configurator element of collective identities. 
• Brands, media and sport: Experiences of sports management, brand management and the analysis of the media context at the intersection between communication and sport. 
• Transparency, sport and reputation, given the growing opacity phenomena that sometimes characterize federations, countries and territories and their possible impact on reputation.
• Disinformation, fake news and sport.
• Citizen involvement and participation (citizenengagement) in the management of major sporting events. 
• Adapted sport as a tool for social inclusion and the reduction of inequalities.
