Direction Data were collected using a 57-item researcher-made questionnaire on event security management process. The face and content validity of the questionnaire was reviewed and confirmed by 7 professors specializing in the field of sports event security management. Convergent validity and divergent validity were used to measure validity through software and Cronbach's alpha and combined reliability were used to measure reliability. In this study, data analysis was performed using SPSS and PLS software. The results of this study showed that 5 criteria of management and planning, technology, organizational interaction and communication, competencies and Personnel credentials and stadium design and construction were identified as effective variables in security management before sporting events. In relation to security management during sporting events 2 factors of crisis management and command and control as effective variables identified in security management during sporting events. In relation to security management after sporting events, three factors of information recording and maintenance, review and analysis, and manpower security were identified as effective variables in security management after sporting events.
