The main goal of this research was to develop financial management in sports organizations using artificial intelligence language models. The methodology of this research was qualitative. Data was collected through interviews with language models ChatGPT, Command-R, Claude, Google Gemini, Mistral, and LLaMA, and initial coding was done using AI TalkBot. Then, to validate the codes, researchers re-encoded the extracted codes and then analyzed them using a Charmaz constructivist approach. The validity and reliability of the research were confirmed using triangulation method, re-coding by a financial expert in sports, and Cohens Kappa coefficient. As a result, 240 initial codes were identified, which were reduced to 28 focused codes in later stages, and finally to 10 core codes. The findings include financial health and accountability, improvement in disclosure in financial reports, operational budget planning, financial data analysis based on commitment, financial risk management, cash flow management, cost management and process improvement, human capital, investment and financial supporters, and the use of advanced financial technologies on blockchain platform. These axes are interconnected and each axis helps strengthen other axes. The proposed model contributes to improving transparency, accuracy in budget planning, and financial risk management in sports organizations, and implementing this model can lead to long-term financial sustainability and growth of sports organizations.

The present study was conducted with the aim of organizing the organizational pathology of the rules of the establishment of sports spaces (Article Five Commission of the Ministry of Sports and Youth). The method of this research was qualitative research with grounded theory approach. Theoretical saturation was achieved after 15 deep and semi-structured interviews managers of sport and youth departments and clubs and university professors. Categories were identified after completing the process of coding and data abstraction. Purposive and snowball sampling was done until theoretical saturation. To evaluate the face and content validity, findings were presented to interviewers and after studying theory, their ideas were applied. The method used to evaluate the reliability was the retest reliability method. The average level of internal agreement was reported to be 0.80.Data analysis in three steps: open, axial and selective coding was achieved by using MAXQDA software. The results of this study showed that the causal conditions: external factors (economic, socio-cultural and political), internal factors (human, marketing, strategic, technology, financial management), contextual condition (understanding organizational goals, organizational structure, communication organizational, organizational leadership, rewarding system, useful mechanisms and attitude towards change), intermediary factors (environmental, organizational and managerial), strategies (production, marketing, economic, political, legal and knowledge), and outcomes (economic, service, social, marketing, financial, human, brand and brand). As a result, managers can improve the process of establishing sports venues in the country, due to the refinement and improvement of some processes and conditions and play a significant role in the employment of sports applicants.
