However, over the past 50 years, sporting events have increasingly become targets for terrorist attacks, posing significant security challenges. To explore this issue, we conducted an integrative review, viewing terrorism at sporting events as an ecosystem with various elements and interactions. Our goals were threefold: to evaluate terrorist attacks at major sporting events since the 1972 Olympics, analyzing terrorists' communication strategies, and to identify trends for detecting and preventing terrorism. Our findings contribute to unraveling the complexities surrounding the motivations of perpetrators, the vulnerabilities of the sporting environment, and the effectiveness of counterterrorism measures. In essence, it is a comprehensive examination that seeks to enhance knowledge, inform policy, and contribute to the development of strategies aimed at ensuring the safety and security of sporting events.
