Abstract: Objective: The present research was conducted with the aim of providing a model for improving coalition building policies in sport. Methodology: The current research was a mixed research. The statistical population of the present research in the qualitative part included experts who are knowledgeable about the subject of the research. Also, the statistical population in the quantitative part of the research included the managers of sports federations of the country. The research tool included semi-structured interviews and a special questionnaire for Dimtel, which was designed according to the research objectives and methods. Dimtel method was used to identify the pattern of causal relationships between the studied variables. Results: According to the results of the present research, it was determined that the variables affecting coalition building in sport include improvement of concepts, adaptation and localization, elite decision-making, structuring and indexing, legal aspects, management flows, and knowledge improvement. Also, the factors of improvement of concepts and structuring and indexing were identified as causal factors and other factors as causal factors. Conclusion: The analysis of the research findings indicates that 'structuring and index-making' with a weight of 0.237 has been identified as the primary determining and influential factor in sports coalition-building. Other identified factors such as 'improving concepts,' 'allocation and indigenization,' 'elite decision-making,' 'legal aspects,' 'management flows,' and 'knowledge improvement' also play a role in this process, but with less impact compared to the factor of structuring and index-making. These findings emphasize the importance of particular attention to structural foundations and measurement criteria in formulating sports coalition-building policies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
