Objective: One of the functions of urban planners is to focus on the locating of infrastructure, especially sports infrastructure. In locating this type of infrastructure is necessary to considering various factors, including environmental factors. According to importance of subject has been investigated in this study for determining the appropriate directions for the development of sporting facilities and infrastructures in Tabriz city. Methodology: In this research has been used the combination model of AHP and WLC. First, with using the library studies and experts' opinions, it's been chosen the parameters necessary to locate sports facilities (distance from communication, distance from sports, land use, elevation, slope, tilt, lithology, and fault) then, with using the AHP model and expert opinions were weighed these parameters. Finally, it used the IDRISI software combines together with the WLC model. Results: The results of the study indicate that the city of Tabriz faces environmental constraints with many constraints to develop infrastructure, especially sport infrastructure. The final result of zoning also indicates that for the desired purposes, the northern areas of Tabriz city have the lowest proportion, and the marginal areas of this city have the highest proportion. Conclusions: Due to the geomorphological condition of Tabriz city it is necessary to pay attention to related parameters. In the development of infrastructure, especially sport infrastructure, the parameters of the present study should be considered in order to minimize the costs of preventing the risks of infrastructure advancement.
