The face and content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by 17 professors in sport management and members of the Strategic Council and its reliability was higher than 0/8. To analyze the data, descriptive statistics, one-sample t-test and Friedman test, internal and external factors evaluation matrix and strategic positioning matrix were used.
The findings showed that the volleyball board of Tehran province has 12 strength points, 12 weaknesses, 13 points of opportunity and 14 threat points. The presence of coaches and referees at the national and international levels as the most important strength, lack of financial resources and affiliation with the federation as the most important weaknesses, the high statistical community in the province as the most important opportunity and lack of supportive laws and weaknesses in attracting sponsors as the most important threats were known. According to the results of internal matrix (2/71) and external matrix (2/31), strategic position of volleyball board of Tehran province is located in competitive region (ST). Therefore, it is recommended to use its strengths, including the presence of coaches, referees and first level instructors, coaching classes and abundance of volunteers to maximize their use to overcome existing threats. An operational plan has been developed focusing on attracting sponsors, supplying equipment, the requirements of subsidiary boards and the production and distribution of volleyball training programs are among the most important strategies.

The aim of this study was to designing private sector participation barriers model in Iranian football clubs that is done using exploratory–descriptive method. professional football clubsُ managers at , football federation top managers and sport management and other sport experts familiar with football clubs were selected as research sample (N= 150). Questionnaire (Validity was confirmed, Reliability (0/87) was used for Data gathering. Descriptive statis, Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis were applied for data analysis. Excell, Amos and Spss were used.
The most important barrier is economic (0/79),after that legal(0/63) and structural (0/4)at last. Managerial barriers were not confirmed in final model.
Economic barriers have to a large extent prevented achieving privatization objective of football clubs. So, we suggested that government, sport managers provide Commercial making actions to increase football clubs income sources. Also legal and structural changes are necessary before privatization. Otherwise, as in the past years the privatization of football clubs would be a dream.
