Objective: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the drivers affecting the future of financial independence in sports federations, which was based on a case study of the Iranian Football Federation.
Method: The nature of the present research method is futuristic, analytical, and exploratory, with a practical purpose, employing a mixed approach combining qualitative and quantitative models. In this study, using purposeful sampling, 15 individuals were selected as the sample, including university faculty members, experts and managers from the football federation, football coaches, and researchers and analysts in the field of football. The study population consisted of these groups, and 15 individuals were chosen as the sample. With the help of the MicMac software, the importance coefficient and ranking of trends and counter-trends were determined to develop a financial independence model for sports federations.
Results: The results indicated that factors such as financial planning and forecasting, financial risk management, and enhancing financial knowledge and skills were identified as key influential factors in the future financial independence of the football federation. On the other hand, financial management, tax management, and debt and budget management were ranked as the second most important category. Additionally, financial resources, efficiency and cost optimization, and financial performance evaluation were placed in the third category.
Conclusion: Financial growth, while offering significant benefits, can also pose potential risks that may undermine sustainable development. Consequently, football federation policymakers should focus on strengthening these drivers while also enhancing financial risk management mechanisms and ensuring resource equilibrium.
