Abstract
Introduction: The aim of this study was to develop a model of financial fair play for Iranian football clubs.
Methods: The methodology of this research was qualitative and grounded theory Strategy. The statistical population of the study consisted of all managers, professors and researchers, legislators, player’s agents and coaches. Sampling was done theoretically and sampling continued until the theoretical adequacy and saturation. The data collection tools in this study were in-depth semi-structured interviews.
Results: After analyzing and reviewing the core codes, the final 25 categories were integrated in the form of a data-based paradigm model in the form of causal, contextual, intervening, strategies and consequences, and the final research model was presented. In this model, the categories of government of Iranian clubs; weak financial knowledge of club managers; lack of strategic thinking; the weakness of the economic governance of the Federation League organization and the lack of cooperation of governing institutions for the financial independence of the football industry were considered as causal conditions. Finally, enforcing the law of fair financial play is very difficult and to some extent impossible without the cooperation of government institutions.
Conclusion: According to the results of the research, the most important action of these institutions is to create a suitable platform for the implementation of a fair financial game in the league.
