Methodology: The participants of the present study included 30 domestic and foreign sports stakeholders in Fars province who were selected based on purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews. Trend analysis and uncertainties were used to design the scenarios. First, the project scope was determined, then the main development factors and blind spots were identified with 360-degree feedback. Subsequently, two key uncertainties were developed as the basis for scenario design. In the next step, a detailed and complete definition of the four possible scenarios was made. In the fifth step, an overall strategy based on the scenarios was presented. Using strategic matrices and GIS, the model was presented in a descriptive-analytical manner. Results: The findings showed that there is an unbalanced distribution of sports hardware infrastructure. The most important goal is to promote convergence and inter-sectoral coordination.
