The results of the modeling confirmed the construct validity and the relationships of the model variables. Accordingly, it can be stated that the dimensions (9 dimensions) and identified components (86 items) significantly explained the main variables in the model. The relationships defined in the model are, respectively, the levels, environmental capacity, development system leadership, universal sports convergence and championship, and development convergence functions.
