Also, the statistical population of the present study in the quantitative section included 159 heads, vice heads and secretaries of sports federations in Iran, of which 113 people were identified as the research sample according to the Morgan table. The data collection tool in the present study included a semi-structured questionnaire in the qualitative section and a researcher-made questionnaire in the quantitative section. In order to analyze the data of the present study, coding and structural equation testing were used. The entire process of analyzing the data of the present study was carried out in SPSS, PLS and Maxqda software. After reviewing the qualitative interviews, 32 codes were identified. The results also showed that the factors affecting the development of polarization in Iranian championship sports include 6 factors, including land planning, value discovery, resource distribution, specialization, local program, and technical infrastructure.
