This research studies the strategic structure of a professional soccer team from a business administration perspective, highlighting that its sustainability depends more on strategic planning governing, leading, and managing its finances and administration than solely on sporting performance. This is further enhanced by its focus on human talent, innovation, and stakeholder engagement. A qualitative study was conducted, documented with a critical analysis of current scientific literature and supported by Resource-Based View, Stakeholder Theory, Contingency Theory, Institutional Theory, and Transformational Leadership. The results indicate that sustainable competitiveness is achieved through a combination of organizational capabilities and holistic management based on transparency, learning, and adaptation. "It is argued that privatized sports organizations must adopt a systemic approach to sports management to enhance their sustainability, competitiveness, and institutional legitimacy, particularly within the Latin American context.
