The purpose of research was to explain and prioritize the factors affecting the development of professional football in Iran with the AHP approach. The research method is descriptive and applied in terms of purpose. Research data were collected in the field and in a mixed manner (qualitative and quantitative). The statistical population in the qualitative section, including 18 experts, and in the quantitative section, including the CEOs of the Premier League and first division football clubs, the heads of the provincial football delegations and the officials of different units of the Football Federation, were equal to 90 people. Due to the limited membership, the community became equal to the sample. The research instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire including 15 factors affecting the development of professional football in Iran, the validity of which was confirmed by 10 professors of sports management at the university and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha test (α = 0.767). LISREL software was used to confirm the confirmatory factor and AHP technique was used to prioritize the identified factors. The findings showed that 15 factors affect the development of professional football in the economic, managerial, legal, advocacy and media sectors, respectively. Among the economic indicators, commercialization and privatization of clubs, and among the management indicators, the development and implementation of a professional development policy were in the first priority. It can be said that managers' focus on economic and managerial factors and indicators can help the development of professional football.

AbstractThis research aimed to develop a paradigmatic model of public policy indicators in Iranian sports. A qualitative study employing Strauss and Corbin's (1997) grounded theory approach was conducted. Data were gathered via semi-structured interviews with 14 experts in academia, sports administration, planning, and law. Data validation used the alignment method, and analysis was performed with MaxQuda 2020. The research model encompasses: causal factors (macro policies, government structures, international pressures, societal needs, elites, and experts); contextual factors (culture, legal frameworks, infrastructure, economy, technology, and resources); intervening factors (institutional conflict, economic issues, managerial weaknesses, legal constraints, interest group pressure, and sociocultural aspects); strategies (integrated governance, public-private partnerships, education and research promotion, financial improvement, infrastructure development, transparency, and participatory approaches); and outcomes (improved public health, economic growth, social justice, sports development, governance enhancement, and sociocultural impact). The research results can help formulate policies based on an accurate understanding of the influencing factors, and the proposed paradigmatic model can be presented as a theoretical and practical framework for achieving sustainable development of sports.Keywords: policy making, sports, Iran.

Successes and failures of national football teams in the FIFA World Cup are potentially able to impact on psycho-social life of people. This research aims to examine the impact of Iran’s national football team results in the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar on Iranian citizens’ hope. The research was carried out using a one-group natural experiment with a pretest and three post-tests on 254 people in Yasouj. The measurement tool was the Adults Dispositional Hope Scale (ADHS) prepared by Snyder (1991) whose psychometric properties has been approved in Iran. The results showed that citizens’ hope has decreased during different stages but it is not statistically significant. Based on the results, hope in the pathway dimension, has been statistically dropped after the defeat of Iran’s national football team in the FIFA World Cup. Given the effect of the sports national team's results on hope, the research concludes that by planning to obtain successful results in international tournaments can improve hope as a necessary need of the country to overcome some of the important problems of society.

This study aims to analyze the historical performance of the Islamic Republic of Iran's delegation in the Summer Olympic Games (1948–2024) and to conduct a comparative evaluation with selected Asian countries. The research follows a descriptive–analytical approach using quantitative methods. In the first phase, Iran’s Olympic performance was categorized and assessed in four historical periods: the formative phase, the post-revolution phase, the growth and prosperity phase, and the recent phase of relative stability. Findings reveal that Iran’s trajectory, while marked by fluctuations, indicates a gradual upward trend in variables such as the number of participating athletes, sports disciplines, and total medals earned. In the second phase, Iran's performance was compared with 12 selected Asian countries. Results show that Iran, with a total of 88 medals, ranks fourth in Asia and 39th globally. However, the top three Asian countries (China, Japan, and South Korea) have significantly outpaced others through focused strategies, large-scale investments, and specialization in specific disciplines. Countries at a similar level to Iran, such as Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, are also progressing via structural reforms. Sustained progress for Iran requires diversification in medal-winning disciplines, infrastructure development, and strategic policy reform in elite sports.

The research instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire containing environmental factors of beach soccer, the validity of which was confirmed by 10 professors of university sports management and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha test (α=83). To determine the strategic position of beach soccer in the country, the internal and external factors evaluation matrix was used.
The findings showed that in the country's beach soccer, there are eight strengths, eight weaknesses, neither opportunities nor threats, and a conservative strategic position was achieved. The officials should take advantage of opportunities and strengths such as the development of scientific centers, government and official support for football, connecting the north and south of the country to the sea, multiple islands and experienced players and coaches, to address weaknesses and reduce the effects of threats. Because of unprofessional management and teamwork, there are lack of basic competitions, lack of a comprehensive system for talent identification and increasing investment of competitors.

Studies show that many researchers are studying on various sectors of the sports industry and suggesting the development of sports as an entertainment industry. Research results show that employment and economic development are the minimum achievements in this area. Accordingly, the purpose of this research was to identify the relations between the areas of sport industry in Iran which was conducted descriptively-survey. The research samples were based on the variance of society and in relation to the statistical society, 263 persons were identified among the four groups including faculty members, sports experts, coaches, and heroes. The validity of the Researcher made questionnaire(KMO = 0.84 and its reliability (α=0.953) was confirmed (P <0.01). LISREL software for modeling was used. The results showed that 6 exogenous factors and 12 endogenous factors in the model confirmed. On the one hand, the government's indirect influence on the sports economy has prevented the private sector from investing in the production of sports equipment. Also, media failed to succeed in its mission of influencing organizations, events, tourism, production of goods and equipment. However, community and recreational activities are well influenced by cultural activities related to sport, which indicates the relative success of activities in this area. Similarly, marketing in event has a significant effect, and does not have a significant effect on retail sales, which indicates that there is insufficient maturity in this section. Therefore, improving processes in this industry requires attention to the relationships between model factors.
