Managerial barriers were not confirmed in final model.Economic barriers have to a large extent prevented achieving privatization objective of football clubs. So, we suggested that government, sport managers provide Commercial making actions to increase football clubs income sources. Also legal and structural changes are necessary before privatization. Otherwise, as in the past years the privatization of football clubs would be a dream.

The final results according to the results of hypothesis revealed that there is a significant and direct relationship between scientific socialization and body management.

With consideration of that the financial statements of famous and professional international football clubs are provided with the human resources accounting approach, it has been tried that with the study of presented research and financial statements to, introduce the conventional approach and ways of reporting by using this approach. By using this way, make the producers and users of Iranian football clubs' financial statements familiar with the merits and benefits of these financial reporting procedures. Another goal is to identify and explore the barriers to the implementation of these methods in preparing the financial statements of Iranian football clubs.Research Methodology is Descriptive-analytic and the type of survey is considered functional. After studying the survey’s literature and interviewing the experts and professors of accounting and local football clubs’ financial managers and managing directors, Items with lack of effective complete implementation were identified in Iran’s football clubs, Then, by using a common model of exploratory factor analysis, factors and effective measures, were identified and classified into three general categories: internal factors, micro external, macro-external. In the next step a structural equation model was designed based on three categories of aforementioned factors and criteria that affect on each of them and three hypotheses were perceived, which by using lisrel software in confirmatory factor analysis method, the designed model was analyzed and confirmed. by Using the Friedman test, each of the affecting factors and Criteria for the external macro, and micro external and internal factors, were also ranked respectively.

Recently, the competition between countries to gain medals in international competitions and rankings of countries based on scores, has taken a high intensity and this has led these researchers to begin to explore affecting socioeconomic and other factors in sporting success in various competitions including the Olympic Games. However, the growth of research in this field and distribution of information, dominance of all aspects of this area is impossible. Hence, the combination of the results of previous conducted studies to obtain an overview research topic is more useful than the definition of new research projects. In the present study, purposive sampling (snowball sampling) was used. After reviewing the articles about the relationship between economic factors and sport performance, 20 studies were selected. To analyze the data collected, a comprehensive meta-analysis software program was used. The results showed that the mean of effect size of the relationship between economic factors and performance in sports events was 0.415. Since the effect size of the estimated is significant at 95% level, economic factors effect on sports performance.
