Scenario findings indicate that the relational capital and environmental forces model in marketing were aligned with historical academic reviews comprising 43 indicators. Each factor has a constructed validity value that passed more than 0.60, and the extract validity constructed reliability value passed more than 0.40. Finding indicators expected to support the path to sports sponsorship success locally, regionally, and globally through relational and environmental strategies. Overall, relational capital and environmental forces in marketing had a significant effect on performance. The findings might help stakeholders implement relational and environmental marketing properly and reallocate resources appropriately.
