Abstract

Purpose: This study examined the role of the German governing body in the country's talent identification and development programs.
Methodology: This study is based on the German football talent management program and procedure informed by Sandelowski and Barroso's qualitative meta-synthesis.
Findings: Governing bodies' supervisory and cooperative roles and reviewing and redefining processes are other issues that can be considered in this direction. Creating a national determination, providing financial resources, and developing knowledge, managerial and technical skills are undeniable necessities in sports development.
Originality: By studying the documents and articles published by the Germans between 2000 and 2021, we were able to identify the details of relationships, processes, and roles. These experiences are valuable for societies seeking to develop talent programs in their sports.
