Resumen
The relationship between sport and entrepreneurship is an emerging but constantly evolving
research field, especially in recent years. This is an extremely important topic considering its
positive impact on public health, social inclusion, economic development, and the promotion of
intercultural exchange. This study has carried out a comprehensive and systematic review of literature
on entrepreneurship and sport as tools for implementing social change. We used several bibliometric
indicators in order to understand the current state of the literature, and scientific mapping
analysis (keywords co-occurrence) to interpret the main theoretical areas of scientific interest. By
searching the Scopus database, a total of 239 peer-reviewed articles were analyzed. The results
showed the identification of six major recurring themes in the literature. For the purposes of our
contribution, the recently developed line of research which considers sport as a tool for solving social
problems through social change appears to be of particular importance. These data allow us to
conclude that it is a highly multidisciplinary and active field. Suggestions for future lines of research
and methodological limitations are discussed.
