Today, the need to use the latest technologies in business is one of the requirements of organizations to stay ahead of the competition. The purpose of current research was development of the distributed ledger technology (DLT( application model in the management of iranian professional sports clubs. The research method was mixed method, using two consecutive qualitative methods, Grounded Theory (with the Glaserian approach) and Delphi. In the first stage, the collection of information was through library and document studies related to the research topic and the background of the research in order to extract the desired items and dimensions related to the topic and simultaneously, respectively, open and semi-structured interviews were conducted with experts selected through snowball sampling until saturation and theoretical consensus were reached (20 people). According to Glaseri's approach, open and selective coding was used and research questions were extracted from the interviews. In the second stage, the Delphi method was used to verify the founded categories. Finally, the influential cases in the deployment of distributed ledger technology in the management of Iranian professional sports clubs were identified in four main categories of underlying, motivating, inhibiting and facilitating factors, and using the findings of the research, the transition pattern of the professional sports club using DLT from the current state to the desired state and the pyramid of needs and the communication network of the professional sports club equipped with DLT was drawn.
