Abstract

The study aimed to identify the degree of contribution of the Palestinian sports system in promoting the values of citizenship, and to highlight the values of citizenship that it seeks to consolidate and to know the extent to which it is possible to strengthen the values of citizenship among Palestinians, and to achieve this, the researchers used the correlational descriptive approach and the questionnaire as a tool to collect data and information from a stratified random sample of (175) individuals working in Palestinian sports institutions. The results of the study showed that the contribution of the Palestinian sports system in promoting and consolidating the values of citizenship among Palestinians was significant (3.8), and the results indicated that the Palestinian sports system contributes to strengthening the values of citizenship to a large degree as well (3.7). The researchers recommended several recommendations, including: the continuation of the Palestinian sports system in consolidating, promoting and strengthening the values of citizenship among Palestinian athletes, the establishment of a body concerned with developing programs and activating activities to consolidate the values of citizenship, in cooperation with youth centers, clubs and Palestinian sports federations.
