The study is to evaluate the role of macro, mid and micro level factors of management in the development of championship sport. The research is a developmental study, based on the method of survey studies and the data collection was done in the field. The researcher-made questionnaire was used in the survey section. Its form and content were confirmed by professors and experts and its construct validity was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha (α= 0/872). To analyze the data, in addition to descriptive indicators, confirmatory factor analysis was used to confirm the questionnaire items, one-sample t-test and Friedman test were used to compare the mean and ranking of factors. The comparison of the mean of the factors showed that the highest mean and effectiveness are related to the micro, mid, federation and macro levels, respectively. Most of the problems in the development of championship sports are related to the factors at the micro level, but at the middle level, with special attention to school sports and women's sports, we can help develop championship sports. Sports federations can choose the right president of the federation, creating standard sports venues, etc. to help developing championship sports. Finally, macro-level problems such as the ratio of medals to the population, the correct distribution of budgets in sports, etc. should be addressed.
