Yet, there are many problems that hinder the marke ting of weightlifting championships; among which the most salient are: administrative policy, technical aspects, capabilities and facilities, and human capabilities. To that end, this paper proposes a new methodology to determine the best ways of marketing and promotion for weightlifting championship.
