Entrepreneurship and the use of entrepreneurial capacities meet the economic needs by creating thousands of new businesses. The study is to develop an entrepreneurial capacity model in the Iranian sports industry with a combined design approach. The research method was a two-step exploratory combination of instrument making. The qualitative research method, qualitative case study, and potential participants included 14 professors. The sampling approach was targeted and the sampling method was key. The research tool was a semi-structured interview. In the quantitative part, the research method was descriptive-survey. The statistical population was included all managers of Kerman province (200 people). The instrument used in the quantitative section was the researcher-made scale based on the qualitative data foundation network. For the study of formal validity, the opinions of ten professors of sports management were used and for the content validity of the questionnaire questions, the carcass model was used (cvr = 0/81) and the content validity was confirmed. Convergent validity, hybrid reliability, and Cronbach's alpha were also confirmed. Descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the suitability of the research model. The results showed that the T value of causal conditions were of meaningful effect on entrepreneurial capacity of 0/64, contextual conditions on strategies 0/47, intervening conditions on strategies 0/40, entrepreneurial capacity on strategies 0/56 and strategies on the effects of 0/71. Therefore, it is suggested that new businesses be set up by creating the necessary platform for training sports entrepreneurs and providing low-interest loans and long-term repayments.
