      Objective: The environment of most sports organizations is increasingly uncertain and the goals are so moving that they are difficult to achieve. In addition, traditional approaches to strategic planning in the face of chaos and environmental uncertainty are not flexible and do not respond well. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify and develop an environmental model affecting the strategic foresight of Iranian sports based on the STEEPELD and to determine the key drivers. In fact, this study seeks to identify which drivers can be effective in achieving the desired future of Iranian sports. Method: The present study is practical, qualitative and survey. The statistical population was faculty members of sports management with associate degree and higher who were selected by combined sampling. To adjust for environmental factors, a 61-item questionnaire was designed that convergent validity (0.622) and its composite reliability coefficient (0.868) were confirmed. The statistical methods used include: descriptive statistics, structural equation modeling (PLS) and Friedman ranking. Findings: The results showed that the research model was approved by experts with a GOF = 0.745. Also, international trade, integration in sports management, development of sports philosophy, increase of sports standard per capita, increase of social capital, environmental policies, expansion of mass media and social networks and development of regulations Legal were identified as key drivers of the strategic foresight of Iranian sports. Conclusion: Therefore, the model developed in this study can be effective as a guide in estimating the future of sports organizations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
