Data analysis was performed using the structural equation modeling method of Smart PLS software. The results showed that the coopetition does not directly affect the clubs’ performance but affects it through mediating variables using outside knowledge and open innovation.

Therefore, cooperation and competition climate with using outside knowledge and open innovation can be such that the clubs’ performance is improved.
