The purpose of the current research was to design the optimal governance model of the country's sports system using the fuzzy Delphi method, which is descriptive and qualitative according to the developmental goal and method of this research. First, in the form of documents and libraries, the indicators and dimensions of sports governance at the international and national levels were collected. The statistical population consists of two parts. A part of it has been related to the qualitative approach of the research, which consists of sports management experts. For this purpose, 15 optimal governance models were extracted and studied. The summary of these models shows the existence of 4 dimensions, 15 components and 41 indicators. The matrix obtained from DIMATEL technique identified the cause and effect relationships between the factors as well as the influence and effectiveness of the variables. The validity of the questionnaires was confirmed. To test the optimal governance model, the Ministry of Sports and Youth and the heads of provincial boards were considered. In the quantitative section, considering that the population size was 542, 225 people were determined as a sample by simple random sampling method and with Cochran's formula, and the questionnaire was distributed among the sample members. The validity of the drawing model is valid for four dimensions. Finally, four dimensions including financial control, competence of human resources, transparency and accountability, and implementation of policy and policy have been obtained.

The study is to identify the factors affecting the formation of corruption in Iran professional sports. The research method was qualitative (Grounded Theory). The data was collected and analyzed through in-depth and semi-structured interviews with 19 experts (university professors, sports club managers, deputies of the Ministry of Sports and Youth, presidents of sports federations, athletes and members of the media) and performed by coding process (Open coding, Axial and Selective). After theoretical saturation and completing the findings, the model was designed with a systematic approach. The results showed that after step-by-step coding, 254 non-duplicate initial codes were obtained which were classified into 40 categories. It can be said that the formation of corruption in Iranian professional sports is based on various factors. Therefore, when the mechanism of action of these factors is properly identified and diagnosed, we can reach to scientific growth and prevent the formation of corruption in professional sports in Iran. According to the results, it is suggested that federations and even sports clubs establish a clear monitoring system on the performance of coaches, referees, athletes and managers. Also, considering some causes of corruption in professional sports in Iran like existence of legal grounds, complex regulations, ambiguous laws and other similar cases, it is recommended to formulate professional sports laws and policies based on existing international laws.

The research is to explain and analyze the infrastructural policies determining the effective development of Iran's racket federations at the championship level. In this study, a conceptual framework was proposed that could be used to compare the sports policies of the championship of the racket federations. The statistical society consisted of bosses and vice chairman, secretary, heads of provincial departments and specialized committees of four racket federations of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Based on the sampling formula, the sample size of the study were 134 people. The method used was targeted sampling. The questionnaire was formal and informative. The results of factor analysis for this index were extracted at %850. The statistical methods used in this research were Friedman Rank Test for ranking and tied paired T- test and Path Analysis Technique. The exploratory factor analysis method was used. In a second phase, correlations between the exploratory and theoretical factors were calculated.
The results showed that there is a significant difference between the priorities of indicators of performance evaluation of racket federations, and there is a significant difference between the status quo and the desirable situation of the performance evaluation indicators of the racket sports federations. There is a significant difference between the status quo and the optimal situation of the infrastructure indicator for assessing the performance of racket federations (badminton, table tennis, ping pong, tennis, squash). (p <0/05). Also, there is a difference between the average rankings of racket federations (badminton, table tennis, tennis, squash) under the sport racket federations p <0/05. Considering the factors explained, especially the elite sport and the process of talent identification process, can stabilize the status quo, as well as help the progress of Iran's racket federations. Also, the contributing factors can be used as a plan and roadmap by other sports federations for the fastest possible progress.
