This study examines the influence of diaspora player endorsement on consumers’ purchase intention toward the Erspo 2025 Indonesia National Team jersey, with product design analyzed as a moderating variable. The effectiveness of diaspora players as endorsers is measured using the TEARS model, which consists of Trustworthiness, Expertise, Attractiveness, Respect, and Similarity. This research is grounded in endorsement effectiveness and purchase intention theories within the context of sports marketing. A quantitative research approach was employed using a survey method, and the data were analyzed through regression and moderation analysis. The results indicate that diaspora player endorsement has a positive and significant effect on purchase intention. However, the moderation analysis shows that product design does not moderate the relationship between diaspora player endorsement and purchase intention.
Overall, this study highlights the role of diaspora players as effective endorsers of national team merchandise, while indicating that product design functions as a separate factor rather than a strengthening variable in the endorsement purchase intention relationship.
