The purpose of this research was to provide a framework for analyzing the capacity of digital transformation in Iraqi sports federations and to evaluate it in a case study in the football federation of this country. The research method was a combination of qualitative (thematic analysis approach) and quantitative (descriptive-analytical approach). In the qualitative section, scientific experts (university professors and technology specialists) and executives (managers and organizational specialists) who mastered the topic of the research were consulted (15 people). The qualitative sample was estimated based on reaching theoretical saturation and was sampled by judgmental method. In the quantitative part, you will also get opinions from managers and expert experts of the Iraqi Football Federation (31 people). The selected sample was based on a sufficient number for organizational strategic analysis (20 to 60 people) and 31 people were selected and sampled in a purposeful way. 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. The method of analysis of the findings in the qualitative part included the coding approach of thematic analysis and in the quantitative part included the descriptive gap analysis approach.
