Objective: This study aims to investigate the factors affecting the improvement of social mobility in female athletes.
Methodology: This study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-survey in terms of method. A questionnaire method was used to collect field data, and the opinions of experts were collected through a questionnaire in two basic stages. In the first stage, a questionnaire was used using the Delphi method to identify the components, and in the second part, a questionnaire was designed and distributed among the sample members using the DEMET method with a rough approach to investigate and identify the relationships between the components. Also, the statistical population in this study included fourteen specialists and experts.
Results: The results showed that thirty influential sub-criteria were identified and categorized into five main criteria (behavioral factors, gender justice, group factors, Responsibility fors society, and structural factors). Accordingly, the structural factors criterion and the gender justice criterion were obtained as causal criteria and behavioral criteria, Responsibility fors society, and group factors as effects.
Conclusion: Therefore, by removing barriers and increasing investment in women's sports, not only can their social status be improved, but it will also pave the way for a more just and developed society.

Objective: The purpose of this research was to provide a framework for analyzing the capacity of digital transformation in Iraqi football federation.Methodology: The research method was a combination of qualitative (thematic analysis approach) and quantitative (descriptive-analytical approach). In the qualitative part, opinions were sought from scientific (professors and specialists) and executive (managers and executive experts) experts (15 people = judgmental sampling). In the quantitative part, based on a sufficient number for strategic analysis (20 to 60 people), managers and experts of the Iraqi Football Federation were sampled in a targeted way (31 people). The research tool in the qualitative part included a semi-guided interview along with a structured library study. In the quantitative section, a questionnaire extracted from the qualitative section (43 questions on a 10-choice evaluation scale) was used. The validity of the tools and findings was confirmed in the qualitative part through the agreement between the coders and in the quantitative part through the content validity of the questionnaire (6 experts) and the Delphi panel.Results: The findings showed that the analysis framework of digital transformation capacity of sports federations includes 43 indicators, 13 dimensions and 4 general perspectives. Quantitative findings also showed that the biggest gap in digital transformation capacity is related to digital services and support (4.97) and the lowest gap is related to digital work environment (3.23).Conclusion: Based on the findings, it can be said that digital transformation in Iraqi sports federations is a multidimensional structural, human, infrastructural and functional category and requires continuous recognition and evaluation based on valid indicators.
