The statistical population of the study includes professors of sports management and managers of karate, judo, wrestling, taekwondo, rowing, shooting and equestrian federations and the National Olympic Committee. And based on the collected information, 22 people were examined. In the Delphi stage, the components and subcomponents of the research were determined. Then extracted factors were leveled by using Q modeling. The findings showed that the most important revenue-generating factors of selected federations include providing non-sporting products used by athletes by the federation, athlete sponsors, revenues from the World Federation for the development of basic sports, revenues from world competitions, annual contributions of the World Federation, Income from coaching classes, membership fees for basic teams, annual contributions from the Ministry of Sports, and income from participation in world competitions.
