The purpose of this research was to provide a framework for evaluating the implementation of the strategic document of the Iranian Football Federation with an interpretative structural approach. The research method was descriptive-survey and practical in terms of purpose. The research data was collected in the field and in a mixed (qualitative and quantitative) way. The statistical sample in the qualitative section was 16 football experts who were selected purposefully. The statistical population in the quantitative part included managers and experts of the federation and football boards and clubs. 384 people were selected as samples. The research tool was a researcher-made questionnaire and a structured self-interaction form, the validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by 10 sports management professors and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha test (α=0.86). Interpretive structural modeling technique was used to level the components. Based on the findings, in the dimensions of the evaluation structure, evaluation requirements, optimal evaluation method and evaluation time stages, 39 evaluation indicators of the implementation of the policy of the strategic document of the Football Federation were identified in the form of 13 components, and the research model showed the structuring of the components in five levels. The components of evaluation prerequisites, evaluation of key points and characteristics of evaluators were included in the base of the model. Considering the personality characteristics of evaluators and empowering them, and periodic monitoring of key points and suggestions for improvement, will smooth the evaluation of the implementation of policies.
