This study aimed to identify the application of governance principles in the Oman Football Association through three principles (transparency, accountability, and participation). The study is carried out through qualitative research methodology, where data were collected using semi-structured interviews and document analysis. The sample consisted of 12 respondents who work in the Omani sports sector representing five categories. The study results show that there is a relative application of the practices of governance principles in the Oman Football Association. The interviews revealed a weakness in the transparency indicators represented in disseminating information and data on the organizational, financial, and administrative aspects. In addition, even though the association enables the application of accountability through the clear separation of powers, there is an apparent weakness in the role of the General Assembly in applying accountability, especially when it comes to the Board of Directors. The study found a set of challenges that may limit the application of governance's principles in the association. It includes prioritizing personal interests, the weak capabilities of members, and the absence of legislative and legal texts obligating the application of good governance practices. In addition to the limited participation of stakeholders in the formulation of policy and decision-making. The study concluded with some recommendations, such as reviewing the association's laws and legislation related to work. In addition, the adoption of the proposals recommended by the study sample regarding practices that enhance governance principles and the establishment of the "Governance and Ethics Committee."
